Do you enjoy dessert regularly in your house? In my house, we almost always have a sweet bite after dinner. It’s never anything big or fancy.
Sometimes it’s a square of chocolate, a chocolate chip cookie, or a small scoop of ice cream. But in my house, dessert is an expectation.
The one requirement for dessert is that it has to be easy. I don’t make big elaborate desserts, just like I don’t make big elaborate dinners. Ever. I love dessert, but I don’t fuss over it.
If I can make it quickly, easily, and with few ingredients or dishes to wash, that makes it a win in my book.
I rarely even look twice at a recipe that has multiple steps or tons of ingredients. I already know it’s not for me.
That’s why I’ve rounded up 25 simple and easy dessert recipes today.
In this post, I’ve collected some delicious dessert recipes that are big in flavor, but not in effort.
Some have few ingredients, while others use minimal dishes, and all of them don’t require too much work.
If I’m going to enjoy eating dessert, I’d rather not have to spend twice as long making it and cleaning up after it. I hope you enjoy this recipe roundup and find something delicious to try in it too!
