10 of the Absolute Fastest Chocolate Desserts
We’ve all had that moment when such a deep chocolate craving happens suddenly that we need to do something about it immediately. Rummaging the kitchen for a chocolate bar is an easy fix, but not if the desire is for warm brownies or a rich slice of cake. But you don’t have to run out to your local bakery! Instead, let these quick recipes save you. They come together in no time, require mostly basic pantry ingredients, and all are extra-decadent.
You might not always have baking chocolate in the pantry when a brownie craving strikes, but you probably have cocoa powder. That’s what makes this recipe a saving grace.
Easiest isn’t an overstatement: The batter comes together in a few minutes and the cakes take just under 20 minutes to bake.
These brownie-like bites are naturally gluten-free, thanks to the use of almond flour instead of regular flour. That also makes them ridiculously moist and fudgy.
These gooey, truffle-like cookies can be adapted to your taste and what you have on hand. Feel free to swap the cherries in for dried cranberries or raisins and the walnuts for pecans or hazelnuts.
What makes this cake so wacky is it doesn’t use any eggs or dairy. Instead, a combination of vinegar and baking soda ensures it bakes up moist and tender.
All that’s required of you to make these no-bake clusters is to melt chocolate and toast some coconut flakes and sliced almonds. To help them set faster, place them in the freezer instead of the fridge.
If you don’t want to wait for the skillet to cool completely before cutting, you can actually just scoop out portions. It will be more like pudding cake than brownies and you’ll need a spoon to eat it, but you won’t be disappointed.
When you don’t even want to wait for the oven to preheat, let the microwave save the day. This chocolatey mug cake bakes in under two minutes.
You need just good-quality milk chocolate and some crisped rice cereal to make this homemade version of classic Crunch chocolate bars.
With cocoa powder in the dough and chunks of chocolate speckled throughout, these cookies are sure to conquer your deepest chocolate cravings.
