The Easiest 2-Ingredient Desserts for When You Want Something Sweet

While you can customize your fudge by adding chopped nuts or trying another savor of frosting, I recommend sticking to a creamy, no-stir name of peanut butter. Jif, Skippy, and Peter Pan all work.” —Meghan Splawn, Recipe Developer “My favorite way to serve this cinnamon apple cobbler is with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. The ice cream gets all melty and mixes with the sweet icing for the most amazing saucy topping for the fruit-filled cobbler.” —Jessica Furniss, Recipe Developer “One easy way to customize the taste is by changing the ice cream.

Note that the ice cream’s savor tends to be subtle in the final bread, so I like to add an extra component to emphasize it. For example, if you use chocolate ice cream, add 1/2 cup or so of chocolate chips for a perfectly sweet loaf.” —Laurel Randolph, Former Associate Editorial Director “We like to add a generous sprinkle of flaky salt to balance out the sweetness, but it’s certainly optional.

You could add colorful sprinkles, chopped nuts, or Health Bar crumbles. Just be sure to add your topping while the chocolate is still melted so that everything adheres.” —Laurel Randolph, Former Associate Editorial Director “It is so ridiculously easy to make that even when I’m tired, emphasised, or crazy busy, I can whip up a bowl of chocolate comfort.

It’s as well made with elements that are easy to keep on hand, and any leftover yogurt or chocolate (ha, leftover chocolate!) will not languish in the fridge.” —Robin Asbell, Recipe Developer “I actually permitted my four-year-old to do all the method testing here, which should tell you everything you need to know about the method. It could not be simpler.” —Molly Adams, Recipe Developer “This simple method is great for making ahead since it needs to chill for at least an hour in the fridge.

It’s easy enough for a weeknight but elevated enough for a dinner party. I can imagine serving it at Thanksgiving, its lightness a welcome change after a heavy meal.

I love Blue Bottle’s Instant Espresso—it’s made with 100% Arabica beans and has a rich, chocolatey savor.” —Alexandra Emanuelli, Recipe Developer “I’ve tried using both soft and silken tofu, and they both give a really soft pudding texture that melts in your mouth. I promise you won’t be able to taste the tofu in this method.
