While there are certainly plenty of times when we'll spend a couple of hours in the kitchen to bake an elegant layer cake or impressive pie, there are also times where we want a sweet treat that's a little easier to pull together. Weeknight sugar cravings are real, and that pint of ages-old ice cream in your freezer just won't cut it. These are the times when we'll rely on our favorite 5-ingredient dessert recipes. Aside from pantry and refrigerator staples, these simple dessert recipes need just 5 ingredients (or less!) to pull together.

We have homemade ice creams, like Homemade Cookies-and-Cream Ice Cream and Blueberry Ripple No-Churn Ice Cream. We've got cookies, like our Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies, and cakes (it doesn't get much easier than Two-Step Pound Cake). No holiday cookie tin would be complete without our Fudgy Pecan Bourbon Balls. From cakes to pies to cookies, let one of our simply satisfying dessert recipes provide the sweet finishing touch to your meal.
