Quick & Easy No-Bake Desserts for a Picnic

Enjoy a very portable Key Lime Pie with this delicious no-bake Key Lime Bars recipe. With all the flavour of traditional Key Lime Pie, these bars are also a little healthier for you. This recipe doesn’t require Graham Cracker crust or sweetened condensed milk. Made with coconut, nuts and dates, you get all the fresh creamy flavours of the original but without the added calories, fats or gluten. I love this dessert for summer picnics and parties.

Fudge is a versatile dessert and the perfect addition to any picnic basket. It’s not just sweet and delicious, but it’s also an elegant sweet treat that is easy to manage al fresco.

This four-ingredient fudge recipe is super simple and requires very little prep time. Whip it up and pop it in the fridge; it’s that simple. You can make it very grown-up fudge with different additions or add fun candy sprinkles for kids.

Fat Bombs used to be associated mainly with keto recipe ideas. But what is essentially an energy ball is also a fantastic picnic sweet treat. These no-bake Cocoa Peanut Butter Fat Bombs are super delicious and even a little healthy. They are also a great dessert when catering to a crowd or hiking picnics.

If you really love the fresh and zesty flavours of a Key Lime Pie, these Key Lime Truffles are an even more portable picnic dessert than our Key Lime Bars. We love these for summer beach picnics, they are also the perfect picnic dessert for a crowd. Whip these zesty no-bake beauties up in under 40 minutes.

Granola bars are a wonderful alfresco dessert, especially for hiking picnics or when catering for kids' picnics. These No-Bake Chocolate Granola Bars are a delicious and healthy energy boost or sweet snack that proves homemade is best.

Chewy chocolate with the right amount of crunch; you can have these in the fridge in under 30 minutes.

I love an effortless, no-bake, portable dessert. These Coconut Balls are sweet and creamy and, being a no-bake recipe, quick and easy to make. They are also healthier as they don’t use sweetened condensed milk or powdered sugar.

With only four ingredients, this recipe is suitable for Keto, vegan, gluten, dairy and nut-free diets without sacrificing taste.

We also give you the quantities for making 12 or 40 coconut balls so you can make a quick sweet treat or cater to a crowd.

A rich and decadent Dark Chocolate Sweet Potato Fudge – Yep! Sweet potato is the secret hero of this no-bake fudge recipe.

As easy to make and just as elegant as our White Chocolate Fudge, this fudge uses sweet potato, adding a gorgeously creamy and soft texture while adding a little natural sweetness. You would never guess sweet potato was the reason for the lovely texture of this fudge.

These no-bake truffles also have a secret ingredient that gives them a lush, creamy texture. Avocado is used instead of unhealthy heavy creams to create a decadently rich chocolate truffle that is not nearly as naughty as they taste.

These truffles are so easy to make, and you can dress them for any occasion, rolling them in nuts, coconut, dark chocolate or even candy sprinkles for kids.

Energy balls are such a wonderful go-to sweet treat for picnics, and these Choc Chip Tahini Balls are no exception. You can whip these nutty, choc chip balls in 15 minutes for a very portable sweet snack that is also healthy.

There are also many ways you can change this recipe to include dried fruits, switch up the kinds of nut butter, or add extra proteins with chia seeds or protein powder.
