Fall is coming, but in many parts of the country, those sweltering summer temperatures are still lingering. The last thing you want to do is turn on the oven!
Keep your apartment kitchen comfortably cool and satisfy your sweet tooth with these tasty no-bake dessert ideas.
Salted Chocolate and Caramel Pretzel Bars
You can’t go wrong with a classic sweet and salty combination. Layer chocolate, caramel, pretzels, and a hint of sea salt to create an easy, crunchy treat that hardens in the fridge. Short on fridge space? Use a few small plates lined with parchment paper for this recipe instead of a cookie sheet.
Chocolate Éclair Cake
Sure, it would be nice to make fancy pastries or endless cupcakes, but who has that kind of space?! If your apartment has a small kitchen or kitchenette, skip the over-the-top recipes and make this quick and easy éclair cake instead. Bon Appetit!
Banana Split Pie
Even in an apartment with no kitchen, you can still whip up a scrumptious pie! This recipe uses pre-made and canned ingredients, so all you truly need is a large bowl and a spoon. Invite your friends over to enjoy this easy, sundae-inspired treat.
S’mores Pudding Parfaits
Still too hot out for an outdoor bonfire? No worries—you can still have s’mores! Put a twist on this classic fall treat with s’mores pudding parfaits. All the flavor, but no sticky mess and no standing over a hot fire (or an oven, for that matter!).
Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars
Calling all peanut butter lovers! This one’s for you. A handful of simple ingredients combine to make a peanut butter and chocolate lover’s dream dessert—all without touching the oven. Just try not to eat the whole pan in one sitting!
