If you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to turn on the oven (or spend all afternoon baking), these frozen desserts are for you. They’re perfect when you need simple desserts for a party, a last-minute treat for family night, or an easy make-ahead option you can pull out whenever the craving hits. Best of all, most of these are no bake desserts, too, so you can mix, chill, freeze, and let your freezer do the work.
S’mores Ice Cream
If you love classic s’mores flavors but don’t want to deal with a campfire, this one is for you. It’s creamy, loaded with marshmallow-y goodness, and has that cozy graham cracker crumble in every bite.
Frozen Lemonade Pie
This is the kind of bright, tangy no bake dessert that tastes like summer in the best way. It’s refreshing, sweet-tart, and ridiculously easy. It’s the perfect simple dessert for making ahead.
Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream
Cherry + chocolate is such an underrated combo, and this ice cream proves it. It’s rich, creamy, and ridiculously simple dessert you can whip up with just a few ingredients.
Brownie Ice Cream Sundae Cake
This one is for the chocolate lovers who want something dramatic but low-effort. You get fudgy brownie vibes paired with creamy ice cream in a dessert that slices beautifully for parties. It’s one of my favorite simple desserts to make ahead when you need a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Dulce de Leche Oreo Ice Cream
Creamy dulce de leche and crunchy Oreo pieces make an amazing flavor combo. This no-churn ice cream is sweet, rich, and packed with texture so every bite is interesting. If you’re looking for no bake desserts that are guaranteed crowd pleasers, this is the one (maybe make a double batch for a crowd, though).
Lavender Matcha Ice Cream
This ice cream is calm, cozy, and a little bit fancy, but in the best way. The matcha gives it a smooth, earthy sweetness, while lavender adds a soft floral note that feels perfect for spring and summer. It’s a standout among frozen desserts when you want something unique but still super easy.
Cookie Butter Ice Cream Pie
If you love cookie butter, you’re going to want this in your freezer at all times. It’s creamy, spiced, and tastes like the dessert version of a warm hug. Plus it’s the kind of dessert that looks impressive with almost no effort, and it’s great for slicing up at parties.
Apple Pie Ice Cream
All the cozy vibes of apple pie, but in a cold, creamy scoop. It’s sweet, spiced, and feels like a fun twist when you want something a little different than the usual chocolate or vanilla. This is a great frozen dessert that works for late summer and fall.
Cookie Monster Ice Cream
This one is pure fun, especially if you’re serving kids (or adults who act like kids around cookies). It’s creamy, packed with cookie pieces, and playful. This one was my son’s favorite, and he doesn’t have a very big sweet tooth.
Pecan Pie Ice Cream
This one tastes like classic pecan pie filling. It’s sweet, nutty, and buttery, but in ice cream form.! It’s rich without being too heavy, and it’s perfect when you want a dessert that feels a little more grown-up. It’s also a great make-ahead option if you love frozen desserts for entertaining.
Biscoff Ice Cream
If you’re a Biscoff fan, this is the simplest Biscoff dessert you can make with just four ingredients. It’s smooth, caramel-y, and has that warm spiced cookie flavor that somehow works year-round. This is one of my go-to no bake desserts when I want big flavor with minimal effort.
Sprinkle Oreo Ice Cream
This one is exactly what it sounds like: Oreo-packed, creamy, and extra fun thanks to the sprinkles. The best part is how customizable it is. You can use rainbow sprinkles for birthdays, pastel sprinkles for spring, or keep it classic for an everyday treat. I made mine with red and blue sprinkles for a fun frozen 4th of July treat.
Whether you’re planning a party, prepping for a busy week, or just craving something cold and creamy, these frozen desserts are the kind of simple desserts that make life feel easier. They’re perfect for make-ahead entertaining, because the freezer does the hard work for you. I hope you have fun making these frozen desserts, and even more fun eating them!
