You don’t have to turn on your oven in the middle of the hot summer to enjoy a decadent dessert! These 50 – now 53! – no-bake paleo desserts are healthy, easy, and delicious. For more Paleo Desserts, check out all of the options here!
How quickly I have gone back on my promise to stop talking about the weather, but seriously, with a heatwave like we’re having right now, how can anyone be expected to focus on anything else? And I don’t know about you, but these days turning on the oven feels like a mortal sin. If you live in a place where you can even consider turning on your oven right now, I envy you. But for the rest of us, short of starvation (or, at the very least, dessert withdrawal), the only solution is a no-bake treat. All of these paleo desserts fit the bill.
And there are plenty to choose from because I’ve pulled together 50* of my favorites here – and none of them is an apple with almond butter, since you already know about that one.
Nope, these are some of your favorite sweet treats, but made with almond flour and coconut flour instead of grain flours, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup, honey, stevia, and other refined sugar-free alternatives. Almost all of these desserts recipes are, as you would expect, made dairy free with coconut oil and coconut milk, too.
They’re all paleo diet-friendly, or at least paleo-adaptable (a few contain peanuts, peanut butter, and/or cane sugar, so I’ve noted next to the links where you should expect to make slight adaptations) and don’t worry – it’s more than just a list of ice cream and popsicles. Much more.
There’s something for every sweet tooth: paleo brownies, paleo chocolate chip cookies, paleo candy, pa– you get the idea. Anyway, there are also truffles, fruity desserts, bars, puddings…. you name it. Any time your sweet tooth strikes, I have you covered.
Several of the recipes are dairy free and vegan and there is plenty of variety on the list, including lots of paleo chocolate recipes! What can I say? Nothing puts a damper on chocolate love – not even extreme heat.
Bottom line: these are some of the best paleo dessert recipes on the internet: delicious, easy to make, and not one requires you to even think about turning on your oven. A few may require a microwave, but since that’s fast and doesn’t heat up the kitchen at all, that seems manageable, right?
I thought so. The only question now is….what are you making for dessert tonight?
