Desserts

Dessert does not have to mean an all-day baking project. This collection ranges from creamy no-bake treats to cakes and quick, nostalgic sweets, giving you options for both relaxed family meals and occasions that deserve something a little more special. Some recipes are rich and indulgent, while others rely on a few familiar ingredients and a simple method. Pick the dessert that suits your time, your appetite and the amount of washing-up you are prepared to face afterwards.

Choosing a dessert for the occasion

When time is limited, a no-bake dessert can be a useful option because much of the work can be done ahead. Cakes are better suited to occasions where presentation matters, while simple tray-style treats are easy to portion and share. Whichever route you choose, accurate measurements and enough chilling or cooling time usually matter more than adding extra decoration.
