The heat of the summer calls for cool, no-bake desserts. Who wants to turn on the oven anyway? I love making no-bake desserts for parties and potlucks, for a number of reasons. First, they are usually very quick to make and don’t involve a lot of time. Second, no oven involved so less heat in the kitchen or you free up you oven for other party dishes. Lastly, many people don’t think to make or bring them for parties. I’m not sure why that is but no-bake desserts can certainly be as impressive as baked ones.
I wonder too, if people just don’t think about really making a no-bake dessert. Sure, there are plenty of salads and appetizers that you can put together that don’t require baking but there are lots of desserts too. They can be so much easier than baking too. One of my favorite no-bake desserts are mini cheesecakes. It really doesn’t get any easier.
So, I hope you enjoy this collection of easy no-bake desserts and find something your family and friends will enjoy.
