Everyone loves a homemade dessert, but do you know what no one loves? Doing the dishes. Have your cake and eat it too by trying one of these no-fuss, one-bowl dessert recipes that are as impressive as they are simple.
10-Minute Lime Cracker Pie
Have you heard? Icebox cakes are coming back! This easy four-ingredient lime dessert from Food52’s J. Kenji López-Alt can be made in 10 minutes and frozen for up to 3 months. Cream, lime zest, and juice are layered with Ritz crackers, although you can use any favorite dry cookie or biscuit. The result resembles a tangy pudding-cake with compatible textures of creamy and soft—perfect for a summer evening.
Nutella-Swirled Peanut Butter Chip Blondies
This original recipe from Averie Cooks takes the traditional blondie bars to new heights. The brown sugar and butter base caramelizes when baked, adding vanilla and caramel notes to the flavor profile. Then there’s the twist! A swirl of Nutella and a generous scoop of Reese’s peanut butter chips make every silky, hazelnut-infused bite memorable.
Rhubarb Almond Honey Cake
This springy rhubarb-honey cake from Broma Bakery comes together in just 45 minutes. Almond flour gives this recipe a little added nuttiness and moisture, while the honey adds a lovely floral note. Hurry and make this dish now before rhubarb’s fleeting season is over!
Oreo Brownies
Who needs a box mix when you can make these easy brownies from Whisk Affair? The entire recipe is prepared in a saucepan, then broken Oreo cookies are added for a bit of crunch. This one is a definite crowd-pleaser.
One-Bowl Monster Cookies
We here at Goodtaste love a chunky monster cookie! This version from EatingWell is loaded with oats, chocolate chips, and M&M’s. The secret about these cookies? They have less butter and sugar than your standard cookie, but just as much flavor, thanks to the generous amount of peanut butter. We suggest a natural nut butter for maximum flavor and even lower sugar.
One-Bowl Funfetti Cupcakes
How festive are these adorable cupcakes? They’re perfect for a birthday party or a bake sale because they will WOW but won’t make a mess of your kitchen. For the best funfetti coloring, Kitchn recommends using the long thin jimmies sprinkles. Either store-bought or home-whipped frosting adds the finishing touch.
Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
This giant disk of deliciousness from Kitchn has everything you love about CCCs—the crispy edges, the melty chocolate, the gooey center—but times 100! When baked on a larger scale in a cast-iron skillet, this mega cookie is beyond decadent. Slice it like a cake and serve with ice cream. Or, do as we do, and dollop the ice cream right into the skillet, then dive in with spoons.
