Or maybe you’re looking for a quick treat to satisfy your sweet tooth without turning on the oven or using condensed milk? Well, you’re in luck! We’ve got 1-ingredient desserts that can be made in 5 minutes or less, with no baking required and without using condensed milk.

These desserts are perfect for when you’re in a pinch, and they require very little effort, yet deliver all the sweetness and satisfaction you need. From frozen treats to creamy delights, you can indulge in something sweet in no time at all. Let’s dive into these simple yet delicious 1-ingredient desserts!

1. Banana Ice Cream

Sweet, creamy, and frozen—this is a simple 1-ingredient dessert you’ll love.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe banana

Instructions:

  1. Peel the banana and cut it into small slices.
  2. Place the banana slices in a freezer-safe container and freeze them for at least 2 hours.
  3. Once frozen, place the banana slices into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy—this will turn into a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Serve immediately as a soft-serve treat, or freeze for an additional 30 minutes for a firmer texture.

Pro Tip: For extra flavor, you can add a dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract, or even swirl in some peanut butter or chocolate chips once the banana ice cream is ready. But with just one ingredient, this is already a delicious treat!

2. Peanut Butter Fudge

Creamy, rich, and indulgent—this peanut butter fudge can be made in a flash.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

Instructions:

  1. Scoop the peanut butter into a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave for about 20-30 seconds, just enough to soften it.
  3. Stir until smooth and pour the peanut butter into a small dish lined with parchment paper.
  4. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until set.

Pro Tip: If you want to add a touch of sweetness, consider mixing in a bit of honey or maple syrup, but it’s delicious on its own. Once chilled, slice into squares for a rich, peanut buttery fudge!

3. Chocolate-Dipped Fruit

Sweet and simple—your favorite fruit covered in a layer of chocolate goodness.

Ingredients:

  • Any fruit (such as strawberries, bananas, or apple slices)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, but a great addition for a chocolate coating)

Instructions:

  1. If you’re using chocolate chips, melt them in the microwave in 20-second intervals until smooth and completely melted.
  2. Dip the fruit of your choice into the melted chocolate, covering it generously.
  3. Place the chocolate-covered fruit on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Allow the chocolate to set in the fridge for about 10 minutes.

You can easily modify this by using whatever fruit you prefer, from strawberries to bananas to apple slices. The chocolate adds a rich, decadent finish to a naturally sweet fruit.

4. Apple “Cookies”

Crunchy, sweet, and perfectly satisfying with just one ingredient.

Ingredients:

  • 1 apple

Instructions:

  1. Core and slice the apple into rings or wedges.
  2. Arrange the apple slices on a plate.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
  4. Eat immediately as a refreshing and healthy sweet snack!

This one is as simple as it gets, but the natural sweetness of the apple makes it feel like a treat. It’s a crunchy alternative to cookies when you’re looking for something fresh and guilt-free.

5. Frozen Yogurt Bark

Refreshing, fruity, and a great way to beat the heat—this frozen yogurt bark is a quick, no-bake dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup yogurt (your favorite flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Spread the yogurt evenly onto a parchment-lined tray, creating a thin layer.
  2. If you like, sprinkle some sliced fruits (such as strawberries or blueberries) on top, or enjoy it as-is for a creamy treat.
  3. Freeze the yogurt for at least 2 hours or until it becomes solid and firm.
  4. Once frozen, break the yogurt into pieces, and enjoy your yogurt bark.

This frozen dessert is both refreshing and easy to customize with your favorite toppings like granola, coconut flakes, or even chocolate chips. It’s a great dessert to make in advance and keep on hand for when you need a quick sweet fix.

6. Coconut Macaroons

Chewy, coconutty goodness—perfect for coconut lovers!

  2. Place the shredded coconut in a mixing bowl and press it together into small clusters or balls.
  3. Place the coconut macaroons on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  4. Allow them to cool, and enjoy a crispy and chewy coconut treat!
