23 Crazy Easy No-Bake Valentine’s Day Dessert Ideas

Are you planning a big Valentine’s Day date night but admittedly aren’t the best baker around? We’re swooping in to save the day and help you sweep your valentine off their feet with no-bake dessert recipe ideas that are easy to make, require absolutely no oven time, and some of them are even super-duper healthy.

We compiled the below list from our favorite food blogs — some of which specialize in raw, vegan, and gluten-free goodness. This is great news for those of us with a partner with dietary restrictions or a specialized meal plan. Showing that you understand their dietary needs or simply ~get~ the life they’ve chosen to live is a huge turn on. Trust us.

However, as you’ll see, just because a recipe is no-bake does not necessarily mean it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, or “raw.” Some of the below no-bake recipes use mainstream ingredients like instant pudding and graham crackers. These recipes are brilliant and quick alternatives to fancy cakes, pies, and cookies, but definitely aren’t the healthiest of desserts.

Make sure you’re on the same page as your valentine about what kind of desserts they can consume and then go to town creating one, several, or all of these no-bake recipes. And heck, if you’re just making these for yourself (Singletine’s Day for the win), we thoroughly hope you enjoy the self-love you’re about to give yourself.
