Do you love a sweet treat but know that you aren’t the best baker? Getting timings and temperatures right can be a bit of a faff. Or maybe you do enjoy it, but are just not in the mood to do traditional baking. If thats the case, why not give a no bake dessert a go, you still get the delicious homemade taste but they tend to be easier to put together. Here are some ideas!
Fudge
Fudge is rich, decadent and sweet, and best of all it requires no baking whatsoever! With just a few simple ingredients like chocolate chips, condensed milk, butter, and vanilla extract, you can whip up a batch of creamy fudge in no time. All you need to do is melt the ingredients together, pour into a pan and let it cool. Once it’s set you can slice it into squares and enjoy! You can add all kinds of extras to fudge, or just keep it simple. Fudge makes great gifts too if you get some nice packaging.
No Bake Cookies
Have you ever heard of no bake cookies?! Turns out everyone’s favourite sweet treat can totally be made without the oven. These easy to make no bake cookies are made with cocoa powder, quick oats, and creamy peanut butter. Yum yum!
Truffles
Truffles really are like little bites of heaven- rich, smooth, and delicious!. Simply mix together melted chocolate, heavy cream, and any flavorings you desire, such as vanilla extract or liqueur. Let the mixture chill until it’s firm enough to roll into balls, then coat them in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for an extra touch of decadence. These homemade truffles are really impressive with their gourmet taste and luxurious texture.
No Bake Cheesecake Bars
Are you craving the creamy goodness of cheesecake but don’t want to bother with baking? No bake cheesecake bars are the perfect solution. Simply mix together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and whipped cream until smooth and creamy. Spread the mixture over a graham cracker crust, let it chill in the fridge until set, then slice into bars and serve. It’s a quick and easy way to enjoy the classic flavours of cheesecake without ever having to preheat the oven.
Rice Krispie Treats
Rice Krispie treats are a timeless classic that require no baking and just three simple ingredients: marshmallows, butter, and Rice Krispies cereal. Melt the marshmallows and butter together, stir in the cereal, then press the mixture into a pan and let it cool. The result is a chewy, gooey square of sweetness. We all have fond memories of making these as kids, and they can be fun to do with your own children (or just by yourself!). Add things like sprinkles, chocolate chips and other extras if you want to make them more interesting.
