Dessert Pizza with Banana Ice Cream

You only need a food processor and a freezer to make this dessert magic, which also happens to be one of the best no-bake recipes to make ahead. Prepare the three-ingredient banana ice cream the night before, so it can set overnight. The next day, stir together the crust and ask the kids to help decorate with their favorite fruit and nut combos.

Copycat Musketeer Bars

If you consider yourself a true chocolate fiend, you must make this candy-aisle copycat dessert. With chocolate cookies, malted milk powder, and fluffy marshmallow crème, these easy no-bake dessert bars taste almost exactly the same as the candy bar the kid in you remembers devouring on Halloween night. Good thing they're freezer-friendly for up to a month, because otherwise your entire pan might disappear in a single day.

Sparkling Rosé Blueberry Floats

Icy blueberry granita, creamy coconut gelato, and fresh fruit are topped off with a splash of sparkling rosé (or club soda for a spirit-free drink). The bubbly helps cut a bit of the sweetness—and makes this easy no-bake dessert festive.
