10+ Quick Dessert Recipes for When You Crave Something Sweet

Are you looking for some recipe inspiration? In this list, you will find 10+ quick dessert recipes for when you crave something sweet. All of them are yummy, super easy, and quick to make! Give them a try!

Let’s take a look at the following scenario: you come home late from work. You’re super tired. You barely find the energy to heat some leftovers from the fridge to eat. They’re okay, to say the least, but the one real thing you’re craving is a quick dessert. Something that doesn’t require a lot of effort or time from your side. If you can find something that’s ready in 15 minutes, you’ll feel absolutely blessed.

But you imagine something like that is impossible, so you indulge in yet another piece of chocolate from the pantry. Kind of sad, but at least you’re not craving sweets anymore. At least for now.

Sounds familiar, right? I’ve found myself in this situation many times before. There were times, especially at 4 or 5 PM (when my energy is at its lowest during the entire day), when I could’ve killed for a piece of cake. Or a decadent muffin or AT LEAST a slice of banana bread. Maybe with a little bit of ice cream on top too… But I quickly realized that I don’t have enough time on my hands to put something together, so I gave up on that thought. Or I ate some candy from the store or a piece of dark chocolate.

Until one day, when I decided to try some quick dessert recipes to see exactly how quick they are. And I realized that it IS possible. You can prepare a really good dessert in 10, 15, or 30 minutes. It is possible and there are SO many options out there.

Of course, I also found recipes that mentioned “ready in 5 minutes”, only to quickly realize that, 40 minutes later, my dessert still wasn’t done. But that is not the case today!

After a lot of testing and trying things out, I want to share with you my ultimate list of quick dessert recipes. And trust me when I say that these are really quick! Regardless if you have 10 or 30 minutes on your hands to put together a scrumptious dessert, you’ll surely find something for you in my list below.

From my favorite banana brownies in the world (yup, it’s my own recipe, changed and improved over the years) to blondies, cookies, and even a mug cake, I’m absolutely convinced you’ll find the perfect recipe for you and your cravings.

The only secret is to pick your recipes right! I promise you that all the recipes below can be made in the evening, after you get back from work or during the weekend, without spending all your day in the kitchen. Seriously now, some of the recipes below are ready in 10 minutes – what more can you wish for?!
