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.

If you're more of a pie fan, you will find some delicious ideas, from ice cream pie to a 3 ingredient chocolate pie or decadent peanut butter pie.

Finally, we think mug cakes belong with no-bake treats because they do, in fact, keep the traditional oven off. Here, you will find some delicious ideas for warm-weather mug cakes.

Not sure where to start? I recommend my award-winning No-Bake Cheesecake or an elegant Berry Trifle that's incredibly easy to make.
