Easy Dessert Recipes: Five of the Best
Imagine a delicious dessert without the need for fancy ingredients or techniques. You’ll be whipping up delicious desserts faster than you can even say the word “sweet tooth” with these five easy dessert recipes.
1. Chocolate Mug Cake
Patience is not always a virtue. When chocolate cravings strike, they don’t always have the time to bake a whole cake. The mug cake is the answer.
Grab your favorite large mug. Add four tablespoons flour, two tablespoons sugar, two tablespoons cocoa powder and a pinch salt. Mix them like you owe money. Pour in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 3 tablespoons milk. Add a dash of vanilla. It’s time to mix it up! Mix everything until the mixture is smooth as jazz music in a cafe.
Put the mug into the microwave and heat it for 90 seconds. It will rise up like dough. Then, wait a couple of seconds to avoid burning your tongue. Instant chocolate love!
2. No-Bake Cheesecake
What about cheesecake that doesn’t require baking? Oh, you bet! It’s easier than you think to make this no-bake, delicious cheesecake.
Mix 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumb crumbs with 1/3 cup melted butter. This crust should be firmly packed into your dish. Put it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Blend 1 cup powdered sugar and one softened block of cream cheese in a large bowl until it is smooth. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the whipped topping and fold in. This creamy mixture should be poured over the crust. Smooth it with a spatula.
If you have the patience, refrigerate for four hours. Add your favorite fruits and you’ve got a delicious dessert. Your guests will think that you are much more creative than you really are!
3. Banana Ice Cream
You’re staring at a pile of bananas that are ripe. Don’t despair. You can turn them into silky, banana-flavored ice cream as easily as a magician extracting a rabbit out of a hat.
Three ripe bananas should be sliced and frozen until they are solid. Put the frozen banana slices in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides. This could take some time. Keep going.
You can either stick to the classic banana, or spice it up. You can add a teaspoon of peanut butter or honey to your banana ice cream, as well as a few chocolate chips. Serve immediately with a soft serve consistency, or freeze to enjoy later.
4. Berry Parfait
The diva among desserts, parfaits are elegant and without all the fuss of complicated preparation.
Layer a couple of pretty glasses. Begin with a small dollop Greek yogurt and then sprinkle a few mixed berries on top. Add a little granola to give it a crunch. Continue until the glass fills up as much as you will feel when you dive in.
You can also experiment with other fruits and yogurt flavors. Here, simplicity and versatility are the key. Breakfast or dessert? What’s the difference?
5. Peanut Butter Cookies
You only need three ingredients to make a delicious batch of peanut butter cookies.
Pre-heat your oven at 350degF. Mix 1 cup peanut butter with 1 cup sugar and 1 egg in a large bowl. That’s it! Stir until combined. Pour spoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Each ball should be flattened with a fork to create the classic criss-cross pattern.
Baking for 10 minutes, or until the edges have a slight golden color. Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving onto a rack. The perfect combination of salty and sweet, these cookies couldn’t possibly be easier.
