Healthy No-Bake Dessert Recipes with paleo, raw, and vegan options #glutenfree

Happy first day of Summer! What’s your living environment like right now? It’s roasting in my neck of the woods, which means two main bullet points:

  • I’m working in the horizontal position from my couch slash floor right now (girl doesn’t handle heat with flying colors).
  • There will be no cooking, but plenty of salad and no-bake treat eating.

Welcome to a Mecca of No-Bake dessert recipes, all of which are gluten-free, cane sugar-free, and of the healthy varietal. For those of you who follow a vegan, raw, or paleo diet, there are options galore here, as the majority of the recipes are grain-free, dairy-free, and egg-less!

To make your search easy, I’ve broken the desserts into type (Popsicles & Ice Cream, Bars, Tarts, Pies, and Cheesecake, Bites/Truffles, etc) and have also noted in parentheses which recipes are vegan, raw, and paleo (unless already denoted in the title). You’ll notice many of the recipes fall under all three categories.

A couple of the recipes here do require you heat ingredients on the stovetop for a hot minute, but rest assured, there is no pre-heating, no oven-baking required for any of these treats. Without further adieu, here are over 53 no-bake desserts for summer!

Sing it, sister...I don't do high temps, either. I'm all about cooking sans heat, too, so I say cheers to all this no-baking we'll be doing. And you're very welcome - your recipes are superb!
