Are you scrambling on Google to find a quick and easy dessert recipe you can whip up in under an hour? If you’ve ended up here, you’ve found salvation. I’ve got ~~twenty-two~~ dessert recipes for you that are easy and delicious.

Wow Them in No Time at All

Just because a dessert doesn’t take a lot of time doesn’t mean it’s blah. You can certainly do the ole standby dump cake, but everyone does that. Why not be a little different. These desserts are broken down by how much time you’ve got on hand. Some even take less than fifteen minutes! I kid you not!

Full disclosure; not all of these recipes are “purist” desserts. Some of them take advantage of cake mix or pre-made pastry. Sometimes, when time is not on your side, sacrifices have to be made. These recipes will still be healthier and tastier than some random dessert picked up at the grocery store.
