I’m a big fan of no-bake desserts, especially the kind I can make ahead and bring to things like school events, parties, or any situation where I don’t want to show up empty-handed. I like desserts that can be prepped the day before, parked in the fridge, and forgotten about until it’s time to serve. This roundup features no-bake desserts. Some are cold and creamy, some are more snacky, and all of them skip the oven entirely. They’re the kinds of desserts that make life easier, not more complicated.

Tips for Easy No-Bake Desserts
- For ice cream, make sure to chop up any mix-ins. Chocolate chunks, hard-shelled candy (like M&M’s), and nuts can become very hard when frozen, so it’s good to chop them up first.
- No churn ice cream needs a consistent temp to freeze, so place your ice cream mix in the back of the freezer (i.e. away from the door), where the temperature is most stable.
- If your no-bake cheesecake still isn’t firm after chilling it, you can freeze it to help it set further. Make sure not to freeze the cheesecake too long unwrapped, as it can cause the texture to become gritty.
- When making mousse, use good-quality ingredients. It’s important to use good quality dark chocolate as it adds a richer flavor and texture to the mousse. Also, ensure your cream is fresh and chilled before whipping.
