“Eclair cake! Making a pastry cream will make you feel like a French chef. It’s the perfect combination of creamy with crunchy (but kind of soft) graham crackers, and rich chocolate. It shouldn’t be as good as it is, but is simply divine. It’s a dessert that makes you say, “okay, just one more bite” multiple times.” – Makinze Gore, Senior Food Editor

Homemade ice cream is incredible, but let’s be honest—making it isn’t easy! That’s why we’re excited about this recipe for an easier shortcut. It still requires some freezing time because, well, it’s ice cream after all, but the actual making of the ice cream only takes a total of about 5 minutes (!!).”

“Taylor Ann’s no-bake fruit & granola tart is so impossibly good that it’s impossible to forget—but wildly easy to make. A real testament to how just a few ingredients, when thoughtfully combined and prepared, can produce a stunning outcome.” -Rob Seixas, Senior Food Director

Blackberries are that “side” berry we kind of forget about. But when Oreos come knocking, there is something special to be said about their lovely pairing. And the title of “no-bake” anything should be relieving, especially in the spring and summertime.

“My fiance and I bonded over puppy chow (AKA muddy buddies) in college so without it I would literally be single. Together we could easily demolish a bowl meant for 8 people. If I’m all alone, a crepe cake HATES to see me coming. I don’t ever want to make it but I will eat it at every available opportunity.” – Brooke Caison, Food Editor

“I’m a little tiramisu-obsessed. While I adore the classic, I’m always looking for fun ways to switch it up, and our raspberry tiramisu has to be my favorite variation. Layers of raspberry jam and fresh raspberries add the perfect sweet-tart contrast to the rich tiramisu—it’s one of my favorite summer treats.” – Taylor Worden, Digital Culinary Producer

“For many Brazilians, like myself, this are THE most nostalgic dessert. Many a Brazilian birthday party had a dessert table that featured these fudgy, sprinkle-covered truffles, and it’s pretty clear why. They’re delicious, adorable, and would disappear in seconds! Sometimes, I was one of the unlucky ones who didn’t make it to the table in time—so thankfully my mom taught me this recipe.” – Izabela Campos, Assistant Editor Of Audience Development

Get the Brigadeiros recipe.

“Don’t get me wrong: I have nothing but love and admiration for Magnolia Bakery’s banana pudding. It’s achieved icon status for a reason, thanks to the perfectly creamy and fluffy layers. But I couldn’t help wondering… could it be better? When developing this recipe, I wanted it to feel like a love letter to the original, but with a cheffy upgrade.” – Alejandro Valdes Lora, Test Kitchen Manager
