It’s getting hot out since it’s officially summertime. Which means you it’s time for cookouts and BBQ’s and of course yummy desserts. But it’s to hot to have the oven on so why not try these No Bake Desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth and keep your home cool.

Dark+Chocolate+Truffles no bake dessert

Dark Chocolate Truffles

Yield: ~25 truffles   |   Inspired by Something Swanky and Savory Simple

Ingredients

16 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 – 1/2 cup cocoa powder, for dusting

Directions

Prepare the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Heat the heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan on medium-high heat, just until it begins boiling. Immediately transfer the heavy whipping cream to the chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Chill in refrigerator for several hours or preferably overnight.

The next day, use a truffle scoop or hand-and-spoon method to shape the truffles. Chill in freezer for another couple hours, then prepare a bowl of cocoa powder and roll the truffles in it until completely coated. Chill again before serving, or enjoy right away.

Strawberry Banana Popsicles no bake desserts

3 Ingredient Strawberry Banana Popsicles

Ingredients:

  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled, cut into chunks, & frozen
  • 12 large strawberries, sliced in half
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice (or orange juice)

Directions:

Blend all of the ingredients together on high speed until smooth – about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed as you go.

Pour the mixture into popsicle molds. If your popsicle mold has slots for sticks, you can insert them before freezing – if not, freeze for 2 hours, then put a wooden popsicle stick in the middle (that is what I did). Continue to freeze for an additional 6 hours or overnight – overnight is recommended for easy removal.

Run popsicle molds under hot water to remove easily.
