Quick and easy desserts

Planning a dinner party, Valentine’s dinner, birthday or other special occasion? We all need a few quick and easy desserts up our sleeves, right?

My favourites are the ones that are impressive but take minutes to make. Try this legendary, dramatic San Sebastian cheesecake, this eternally popular 6-ingredient gooey Swedish chocolate cake, or this super easy ‘magic’ self-saucing lemon pudding.

Prefer an easy apple dessert? Try this impressive 6-ingredient Italian apple cake (AKA torta di mele!).

Need super easy treats for a party, BBQ or picnic? Try biscoff blondies, no-bake caramel slice or peanut butter cheerio bars.

If it’s ridiculously easy you’re looking for, I put together an awesome list of 21 5-minute no bake desserts!
