Making Dessert Doesn’t Have To Mean Hours In A Kitchen. Here Are 20 Pieces Of Proof!

If only every meal began with dessert, the world would be a much better place.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth like I do, then you know that dessert is where it’s at. It’s hard to say which is my one true weakness when faced with cookies, brownies, cakes, and pies. However, as much as I enjoy a good dessert, there aren’t too many occasions where one is served with a meal cooked in my home.

In most cases, with all the extensive prep for the main course, there is little to no time left to whip up an elaborate dessert. But not all delicious sweets require as much work as the main event. Here are 20 quick and easy recipes.
