I can't start getting ready for bed until I've had a little something sweet. It might be as simple as a squidgy, caramel-y date or a little piece of dark chocolate, but when I want something a bit more special—but not too involved—these recipes fit the bill.
Every recipe below can be made with just 2 or 3 ingredients and is incredibly easy to make, and many of them are freezer-friendly so you can keep them stocked for any late-night or midday cravings. You can thank me later!
3-Ingredient Brownie Cookies

Get Recipe: I Make These 3-Ingredient Cookies Once a Week—They're My Favorite
"Any standard brownie mix will work for this recipe, but not all brownie mixes are created equal. All of my fellow brownie lovers know that Ghirardelli makes some of the best brownie mixes out there. I like to use any of their mixes that say “includes chocolate chips” on the front, such as the Double Chocolate, Triple Chocolate, and Ultimate Chocolate varieties." —Laurel Randolph, Associate Editorial Director
2-Ingredient Chocolate-Dipped Orange Segments
Simply Recipes / Molly Adams
Get Recipe: The 2-Ingredient Dessert I Wait All Year Long To Make
"I add a little olive oil to the melted chocolate to keep the coating shiny and also to thin it out a bit. I like the coating to be thick enough to evenly coat the orange but thin enough that it doesn't overwhelm the base flavor of the Sumo." —Molly Adams, Recipe Developer
2-Ingredient Cherry Cobbler
Simply Recipes / Jessica Furniss
Get Recipe: The 2-Ingredient Dessert I Make Every Saturday
"Use apple pie filling or blueberry pie filling for a different-flavored cobbler. Apple works especially well for fall and winter, and blueberry really brings spring vibes." —Jessica Furniss, Recipe Developer
2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge
Simply Recipes / Meghan Splawn
Get Recipe: The 2-Ingredient Retro Dessert I'm Making for the Holidays
"While you can customize your fudge by adding chopped nuts or trying another flavor of frosting, I recommend sticking to a creamy, no-stir brand peanut butter. Jif, Skippy, and Peter Pan all work." —Meghan Splawn, Recipe Developer
3-Ingredient Chocolate-Peanut Butter Spooons
Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm
Get Recipe: The 3-Ingredient Dessert I’ve Been Making Since Childhood (It’s Still My Favorite)
"It’s basically a homemade peanut butter cup, but ten times easier than using a muffin tin since you eat it directly out of the spoon. They’re the perfect no-bake dessert to store in your fridge when you need an afternoon pick-me-up or post-dinner treat. Kids will love these, too!" —Rebecca Fennel, Recipe Developer
3-Ingredient Crème Brûlée
Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm
Get Recipe: Easy 3-Ingredient Crème Brûlée
"If you don’t own a torch, you can simply watch the sugar transform under a broiler. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and broil on high, 3 to 4 minutes." —Emily Weinberger, Recipe Developer
2-Ingredient Chocolate Pudding
Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm
Get Recipe: The 2-Ingredient Chocolate Dessert I Make All the Time
"Whole-milk Greek yogurt makes a rich, sweet pudding, or you can go lean and mean with fat-free yogurt." —Robin Asbell, Recipe Developer
2-Ingredient Ice Cream Sandwiches

Get Recipe: 2-Ingredient Ice Cream Sandwiches
"For the ice cream flavors, I recommend mint chocolate chip, black raspberry, coffee, salted caramel, peanut butter, and green tea." —Laura Manzano, Recipe Developer
3-Ingredient Lemon Curd Tart
Simply Recipes / Jessica Furniss
Get Recipe: I Make This Easy 3-Ingredient Dessert Every Easter
"Not only does this recipe require just three ingredients, it’s done in four steps. Score the pastry, brush it with beaten egg, bake, and spread on some lemon curd. Done!" —Jessica Furniss, Recipe Developer
2-Ingredient Ice Cream Bread
Simply Recipes / Mihaela Korzaric Sebrek
Get Recipe: This 2-Ingredient Cake Is My Favorite
"To melt the ice cream for use in the recipe, let it sit out to thaw or microwave it (in a microwave-safe bowl) at 50% power, stopping every two minutes to stir, until melted but still cool to the touch." —Laurel Randolph, Associate Editorial Director
2-Ingredient Chocolate-Rice Mousse
Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm
Get Recipe: The 2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse That Totally Blew My Mind
"There are no fancy techniques or ingredients here, just a quick and easy treat that’s perfect for kids and adults alike. Blend it up and chill it in coupes (like I did) or ramekins. Before serving, add a dusting of cocoa powder on top and you’re done. You’d never guess there’s rice in there." —Shayma Saadat, Recipe Developer
3-Ingredient Lemon Posset
Get Recipe: This 3-Ingredient British Dessert Requires Zero Baking Skills
"I’ve called for fresh lemon juice, but almost any citrus juice in equal parts will work. Note that if you use a less acidic citrus juice, the custard may not set as firmly. A mix of citrus juices like lemon and lime or orange and lemon will also work." —Stephanie Loo, Recipe Developer
2-Ingredient Pumpkin Quickies
Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm
Get Recipe: The 2-Ingredient Retro Dessert I'm Making on Repeat This Fall
"If you want to upgrade these a bit with one more ingredient, add 1 cup of mini chocolate chips, poking a few extra into the tops of each quickie before baking." —Laurel Randolph, Associate Editorial Director
3-Ingredient Banana Nice Cream
Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek
Get Recipe: The 3-Ingredient Frozen Treat to Make With Your Ripe Bananas
"There is really only one challenge, and that’s making a smooth puree before the bananas thaw. To make this easier, make sure to slice the bananas thinly before freezing. That means the blender or food processor can blast through more quickly, without as much heat-creating friction." —Robin Asbel, Recipe Developer
3-Ingredient Nutella Brownies
Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm
Get Recipe: The 3-Ingredient Dessert I Make When I Need Instant Comfort
"For easier mixing, make sure your Nutella is at room temperature." —Kris Osborne, Recipe Developer
2-Ingredient Jam Bars
Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe
Get Recipe: The 2-Ingredient Bars I Make Every Christmas
"My favorite jam to use for this recipe (and a favorite in general) is raspberry jam. I like to use a flavorful, tart jam to act as a counterpoint to the sweet cookie dough. I recommend using jam or preserves as opposed to jelly, but any will work." —Laurel Randolph, Associate Editorial Director
3-Ingredient Skillet Apple Crisp
Simply Recipes / Shilpa Iyer
Get Recipe: 3-Ingredient Skillet Apple Crisp
"For a mix of flavors and textures, I like to pair a sweet variety (Honeycrisp, Gala, Braeburn, or Jonagold) with a tart one (Pink Lady, Winesap, or Granny Smith). I also prefer to bake with medium to large apples, simply because they’re less tedious to peel." —Grace Elkus, Recipe Developer
3-Ingredient Italian Nut Cake
Simply Recipes / Devan Grimsrud
Get Recipe: This 3-Ingredient Cake Is as Good as a Trip to the South of Italy
"For this recipe, it's important to separate the eggs properly. The key is to avoid breaking the yolks. You want absolutely no egg yolks in the egg whites—you'll have to start your egg whites over because they won't become stiff." —Devan Grimsrud, Recipe Developer
3-Ingredient Tahini-Chocolate Dates
Simply Recipes / Shayma Saadat
Get Recipe: My 3-Ingredient Dessert Is Perfect for Making Ahead
"My son prefers to enjoy his dates straight from the freezer, which gives them a firm, candy-like texture. But if you prefer yours softer, you can store them in the refrigerator instead." —Shayma Saadat, Recipe Developer
3-Ingredient Cake Mix Cookies
Simply Recipes / Sarah Crowder
Get Recipe: The 3-Ingredient Cookies I Can’t Stop Making
"This recipe is for a confetti version of cake mix cookies because sprinkles make everything a little bit more fun (plus, this is my family’s current favorite cake flavor). However, you can make cake mix cookies with any flavor of cake mix in the 15-ounce size range." —Meghan Splawn, Recipe Developer
2-Ingredient Pumpkin Mousse
Simply Recipes / Annika Panikker
Get Recipe: 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Mousse
"The setting time of the mousse will depend on the serving dish—the larger the dish the longer the setting time—so plan accordingly." —Annika Panikker, Recipe Developer
3-Ingredient Coconut Macaroons
Simply Recipes / Coco Morante
Get Recipe: The 3-Ingredient Holiday Cookie I Make Every Year
"Not only are macaroons easy to make, they’re naturally free of many allergens. Being gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and tree nut-free, nearly everyone can enjoy them." —Coco Morante, Recipe Developer
