It’s no secret that I adore a challenging baking project. I love rolling up my sleeves and tackling a peach pie with from-scratch pie crust, a batch of laminated croissants, or a dozens of decorated sugar cookies. But as a busy parent and business owner, I know what it’s like to be strapped for time while also needing a special dessert for visitors, parties, last-minute get togethers, or just because!
We Selected the Best Quick Dessert Recipes
My team & I went through all of my 800+ dessert recipes and selected my favorite 30+ Quick Dessert Recipes that are ready in an hour or less. Keep this list handy for the next time you need dessert in a snap. While my chewy chocolate chip cookies will always reign supreme, they do require a bit of planning. Sometimes we don’t have several hours to wait for our dough to chill, so try these giant chocolate chip cookies or chocolate chip cookie pizza instead. (Great for a crowd!) If you’re referring to this list in the summer months, consider a fruit crisp to use your summer produce. They’re quick, but they don’t sacrifice flavor. Peach crisp and strawberry vanilla crisp are prime choices. Or go with apple crisp during the cooler months. And for the most intense chocolate cravings, these chocolate fudge cakes for 2 are ready in 30 minutes. Happy (speedy) baking!
