Because no one wants to open up a blazing-hot oven in the summertime but everyone wants to be able to indulge in sweet treats — especially your kiddos — keep your family's sweet tooth satisfied with a no-bake dessert that requires zero to minimal heat (you might need a stovetop or microwave, but it's worth it, we promise!). From popsicles and ice cream sandwiches to pudding pies and edible cookie dough bites, these no-bake desserts are going to be winners this Summer (or any other time of the year when you're just feeling way too lazy to turn the oven on).
No need to bake these Funfetti Edible Cookie Dough Bites, which are made with butter, sugar, vanilla pudding mix, vanilla and almond extracts, milk, oat "flour," salt, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles.
Nothing says dessert like funfetti, so why not mix a family-favorite cake flavor with the joy of a cool popsicle on a Summer day? These funfetti yogurt popsicles are a great way to celebrate every day.
