Sometimes you're craving something sweet in the moment, need to prepare something for a potluck on the fly, or you're just not in the mood to deal with a finicky oven. Whatever the reason, it's never a bad idea to have a few no-bake dessert recipes up your sleeve - like a sweet, sugary magician. No-bake desserts took off in the 1960s, back when Jell-O brand products were a fixture in every American kitchen.

If you enjoy the finer things in life without the fuss or the price tag attached, then you'll want to check out these white chocolate Oreo truffles, from the kitchen of recipe developer Jennine Rye. This straightforward recipe is great for kids and adults alike (after all, who doesn't enjoy Oreos?) and will give you a fun, family-friendly afternoon activity that elevates a simple packet of Oreo cookies to decadent, gift-worthy chocolate truffles.

If you're looking for a festive, kid-friendly Christmas dessert that is as fun to make as it is to serve, these Vanilla Cookie & Berry Trifles are guaranteed to be a hit. Soft layers of sweet berries, creamy dairy-free whipped topping, and crunchy Homefree Vanilla Mini Cookies come together to create a treat that feels like holiday magic in every spoonful.

Whether you're looking to spruce up a dessert table or create tasty treats to perk up afternoon snack time, cake pops are not only delicious but easy to make. These sweet snacks are delicious and don't require an oven to bake. Instead of reaching for boxed cake mix, you can rip open packages of your favorite Pop-Tarts flavors. With a range of options to choose from, cake pops can be customized to suit any palate or occasion.

A classic no-bake dessert filled with nostalgic childhood memories, the humble Rice Krispie treat is as effortless to prepare as it is to enjoy. There are countless ways to upgrade your Rice Krispies treats, including mixing up your marshmallows, swapping in new cereals, and dipping or drizzling the squares in chocolate and other sauces. For a flavorful twist that makes the most of your melted marshmallows, try adding a packet of your favorite instant pudding to the batch before folding in the cereal.

The No Bake Cherry Cheesecake has a creamy filling made from cream cheese and whipped cream, combined with a lightness not typical of traditional cheesecakes.

No-bake desserts are great when I feel like I need a no-contact order with my oven for a period of time, too.
