I’m all about easy no bake desserts like my No Bake Peanut Butter Preztel Cookies, Peach Ice Box Cake, Creamsicle Pie, and Classic No Bake Cookies!

My family is absolutely NUTS about ice cream though! Crazy enough that we buy it in 2 1/2 gallon boxes. Should I be embarrassed to admit we buy at least one box a month?

Anyway, ice cream is a classic dessert for good reasons! It’s obviously super easy, and tasty! It’s also fun to make homemade ice cream at home, and really easy with these no churn recipes!

Ice cream desserts are also perfect for company or serving to crowds because they are so easy to make!
