What are No-Bake Desserts?

These no-bake desserts help keep the kitchen cool and the oven off– and satisfy all your summer sweet cravings!

Some dessert recipes, like ice cream, are inherently no-bake, and we've included a number of our favorites here. Love cheesecake but don’t want to mess with water baths? I hear you! Make our easiest-ever no-bake cheesecake or our mini cheesecakes.
