3Caramel Crunch Tart
PHOTO: RYAN LIEBE; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREThis chocolate tart is great for a last-minute dessert because it mainly uses store-bought ingredients, and the majority of time required for this recipe is just letting it chill in the refrigerator. If you really wanted to feel like you made something homemade, you can always opt for a homemade caramel instead of store-bought caramel. Sometimes, though, you just need an easy dessert that doesn’t require a lot of effort.

4Éclair Cake
PHOTO: ANDREW BUI; FOOD STYLING: SPENCER RICHARDSTraditional pate a choux, the French dough used to make classic eclairs and profiteroles, can be a difficult pastry to make, so for this cheater version we use graham crackers. They're not technically anything like an éclair, but they're still great for layering in this cake and become soft as the cake chills (sort of like in an icebox cake!).

7Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta

We put a slightly more nutritious spin by incorporating Greek yogurt and honey into the recipe and swapping out most of the cream. The result is a rich treat that isn’t overly sweet, perfect for enjoying again and again.

8Cannoli Icebox Cake

Making your own is a fun little project but a little time consuming, and frying the shells can be intimidating. This easy cake is a great alternative. The filling is similar: sweetened ricotta and orange zest combine with whipped cream to make the cake even lighter.
