No-Bake Peach Crisp

You can used canned peaches, but we just can’t do that if we can get fresh ones at the farmstand. Either way, this crunchy dessert with granola and yogurt is as healthy as it is delicious.

Cherry Trifle Cake

It seems impossible that this elegant, brightly colored dessert could only contain five ingredients. This cake couldn’t be easier to me. Couldn’t be tastier, either.

No-Bake Cocoa Crisp Squares

Turn this childhood favorite into a adult dessert with marshmallow cream and cocoa powder. And don’t forget the rice-based cereal — to really remind you of being a kid.

Out-and-About Cheesecake

We’re wild for this crazy dessert, which combines sweetened brie and cream cheese with fresh blueberries in single-serving cups. Watch the guests go nuts when you put one at each place setting.

Peanut-Butter Silk Pie Recipe from

What a beauty — with creamy peanut butter, freshly brewed coffee, and semi-sweet bits of chocolate. And yet this silk pie is easy and lots of fun to make. Smooth as silk, you might say.

No-Bake Coffee Balls

How easy is this? Just buy your favorite sugar cookies, crunch ‘em up, and add a few others things here and there (so everybody will think you started from scratch). Easy perfection!

No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cookies

Slivered almonds and dry, tart cherries give a grown-up twist to these no-bake cookies. We couldn’t help noticing that these peanut butter oat cookies are a healthy high-energy snack.

When the temperature starts to soar, the last thing you need is a hot oven to make things worse. But, hey, the family’s gotta have dessert, right? (And maybe the guests, too.) No sweat. We’ve got some terrific no-bake desserts to suit everyone’s taste.

Peaches are coming into season now, so we love this no-bake peach crisp, almost as much as our no-bake cherry truffle cake. Got blueberries? Then be sure and whip up this out-and-about blueberry cheesecake (don’t ask, just make).

And if cookies monsters are involved, then consider no-bake coffee balls (which are super fast, because they use store-bought cookies) or these peanut-butter oat cookies. If you like the peanut-butter theme, but want something more along the lines of a “real” dessert, how about peanut-butter silk pie. Or maybe cocoa crisp squares are more what you’re looking for.

The heat is definitely not on when you cook up these delicious, quick and easy no-bake desserts.

Keep your cool with all kinds of wonderful no-bake recipes!
