15+ Easy No Bake Desserts for a Crowd
All the parties, pot lucks and events that come with the holidays all require you to bring some sort of dish. I always say I will bring the dessert because these no bake treats are so simple to make and you can throw them together quickly.
I’m a mom and always busy so I love the simplicity of no bake desserts!
When you have a sweet tooth and want something that is quick and easy to make or if you were asked to bring a dessert to a party or event and don’t have time to bake something, a no bake dessert is the perfect thing!
These are a few of my favorite no bake treats. There are cookies, cakes, pies, cheesecakes, dips and more!

Avalanche Cookies
I made these last year for a Christmas party and I’m already being asked to bring them again this year!
Note – let the mixture cool a little bit before adding your chocolate chips so they don’t melt! I learned this the hard way.

S’mores Pudding Parfaits
I was in charge of taking a dessert to a friends baby shower a few weeks ago and I wanted something that was in single size servings and I also was aiming for a dessert that wasn’t super common.
This was the perfect thing! Everyone at the shower loved it!
Helpful note – this recipe is only for 4 cups, so if you are making it for an event you will need to make sure you get the correct amount of ingredients for how many people you are serving.
