An easy dessert is a simple and quick to prepare sweet dish that can be made with minimal ingredients, equipment or skills. These types of desserts are perfect for those who love sweets but don't have much time to spend in the kitchen. They usually require only basic cooking techniques such as baking, melting or mixing and can be prepared using everyday pantry staples like chocolate, fruits, nuts, and spices. Examples of easy desserts include fruit salads, ice cream sundaes, cookies, cakes from a mix, or even store-bought pastries that just need to be warmed up before serving.
