These Desserts Only Have 2 Ingredients, & They're Totally Amazing

06/14/2023 | Diet & Food

If you were born with a sweet tooth, you know what it’s like to get a late-night sugar craving, to plot your dessert when you’re still eating breakfast, and to salivate through the pastry department when you make your grocery runs. And if you like to make your desserts from scratch, you might get a little overeager in the baking-supplies department. Chances are you don’t really need that second bottle of sprinkles, right? But what if we told you you could make a decadent dessert with merely two ingredients?

If you want to keep it simple every once in a while, we recommend these two-ingredient desserts. They’re easy, fast, and delicious, and they won’t require you to pull every last baking supply down from your cabinet to make them. (Seriously!)

And when you’re ready, you can level-up to three-ingredient desserts.

2-Ingredient Strawberry Ice Cream

The secret to making an easy, dairy-free ice cream that’s still creamy and sweet? Using frozen bananas as the base, then adding in your favorite summer berries. But you can experiment with fruit other than strawberries, too!

Get the recipe from Two Peas & Their Pod.

Who knew this classic dessert could be made with just two ingredients? All you’ll need is a box of angel food cake mix and a can of lemon pie filling.

Believe it or not, these golden-brown, sweet and nutty cookies are made with just two ingredients: banana and shredded coconut.

Fudge seems like it would be a hassle to make, but this recipe proves how easy it can be to satisfy that craving. Chocolate chips and condensed milk are all you’ll need.

This two-ingredient dessert recipe is decadent enough to serve company, but it’s still so easy to make. Top with fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, or hot fudge if you’re feeling fancy.

2-Ingredient Chocolate Cake

This white hot chocolate really is as easy to make as it sounds. Combine white chocolate and warm milk for a sweet and soothing sipper.

2-Ingredient Peanut Butter-Caramel Dip

Crunchy peanut butter and caramel sundae sauce come together to make a dip that will make you eager to eat your fruit — apple slices, frozen bananas, you name it!

2-Ingredient Cherry Pie Bites

Store-bought phyllo cups make quick work of a batch of cherry mini-pie bites. Top them with whipped cream if you feel like going all in with a third ingredient, or keep things simple.

2-Ingredient Cookies & Cream Oreo bark

Cookies and cream Oreo bark is a treat so simple the kids can help make it. Keep it for yourself or pack it up in a cute tin and give it as a gift.

2-Ingredient Toaster Pastries

You don’t need to buy toaster pastries at the store when it’s so easy to make them at home! Piecrust and jam are all you need. If you do have the extra time (or the craving for even more sweetness), you can drizzle on some simple homemade icing, too.

2-Ingredient Chocolate-Covered Macadamia Nuts

Macadamia nuts are luxe enough to taste like an indulgent treat when they’re simply covered with chocolate.
