Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Whether it’s due to warmer temperature or a lack of oven space, sometimes you just don’t want to (or can’t) use the oven, which makes makes it difficult to make dessert favorites such as cakes, pies or brownies. Fortunately, there are many delicious treats that satisfy the sweet tooth – no baking required. These eight tasty sweets are the perfect way to top off a warm-weather meal, or AT any time of year.


1. Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler

Some things are worth waiting for, such as this fruity oven-free cobbler. Dripping with apple butter and brown sugar, the peaches and crumbly batter cook in just a few hours in a slow cooker. For a little extra flavor, add a dash of bourbon.

2. Lemon Icebox Cake

Calculating in the time it takes to set, this cake also takes some planning ahead, but it’s its sweet-and-tart flavor is worth the effort. Made with graham crackers, lemon pudding, lemon juice, milk and a few other ingredients, it solidifies in the freezer for a cooling treat.
