Easy Desserts

Welcome to your go-to guide for easy desserts to make at home. To earn a spot in this collection of easy dessert recipes, every dish had to meet at least one of our key criteria: quick to prep, pantry-friendly, easy to make ahead, or simple to take with you. 

Whether you’re looking for a quick finish to dinner, something you can make with what’s in the cupboard, or easy desserts that hold up well in a lunchbox, this collection is here to make sweet moments even sweeter. 

Easy no bake desserts

No bake desserts are one of the easiest ways to enjoy something sweet with minimal effort. They often come together in minutes, don’t need an oven, and set up in the fridge while you get on with your day. Perfect for make-ahead prepping or when you want quick and easy desserts with zero fuss. 

Even better? Many of our no bake options use ingredients you probably already have – skyr, fruit, or pantry staples – and are great for layering, chilling, or rolling into easy fast desserts. 

Classic desserts

Tried and true doesn’t have to mean complicated. These are the desserts most of us know – crumbles, loaf cakes, trifles – and they’re surprisingly easy when you take a simple approach. 

Why are they easy desserts to make? Most use pantry basics like flour, sugar, milk, or eggs. They’re forgiving, flexible, and great for using up what you already have. Whether you’re baking for a treat or putting something together last-minute, these are easy dessert recipes that never go out of style.

Gluten free desserts

Gluten free doesn’t have to mean difficult (or boring). In fact, many gluten free desserts are simple by nature – from flourless loaf cakes to yogurt parfaits and oat-based crumbles. They’re easy to prep, hold up well if made in advance, and are great for sharing. 

Best of all? With just a few basic flours in your pantry – like almond, oat, or pre-mixed blends – you can whip up a whole range of easy dessert recipes without the gluten.
