Brownies are known for being chocolatey, fudgy, and delicious.

• Swap out the traditional chocolate frosting for a peanut butter or caramel frosting.
• For a fun twist, top your brownies with ice cream and hot fudge sauce.

Pro Tip: If you’re short on time, you can always use a box mix. Just be sure to follow the directions on the back of the box!

3. Easy Chocolate Mousse

If you’re looking for something that doesn’t require a ton of ingredients or time, this chocolate mousse is perfect.

It’s rich, creamy, and SO chocolatey.

These chocolate oatmeal bars are so easy to make, and they’re always a hit with my family.

We love them plain, but you could also:

• Top with a layer of peanut butter
• Stir in some chopped nuts or dried fruit
• Drizzle with melted chocolate

5. Blueberry Crumble Bars

Blueberries have a way of making any dish feel special, and these crumble bars are no exception.

They’re the perfect combination of sweet and tart, with a buttery crumble topping that just melts in your mouth.

To really take these bars over the top, try serving them with:

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• A drizzle of honey
• A sprinkle of cinnamon

6. Italian Tiramisu

If you want to get fancy, you can serve this tiramisu in little espresso cups.

Or, you could make it in a trifle dish and top with chocolate shavings.

I’ve even seen people pipe the mascarpone mixture into shot glasses for a fun and unique presentation.

There are endless ways to enhance this dessert.

Some other ideas include:

• Adding a layer of Nutella in between the coffee soaked ladyfingers
• Swapping out the coffee for Bailey’s Irish Cream
• Using a chocolate or vanilla cake instead of ladyfingers

Pro Tip: If you’re using frozen strawberries, make sure to thaw them before adding them to the blondie batter. Otherwise, your blondies will be too wet.

9. No Bake Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Balls

For this recipe, you don’t even need an oven!

That’s music to my ears on a hot summer day.

These cookie dough balls are coated in chocolate and can be served as is, or with a few extra toppings.

I like to put out a toppings bar with things like:

You can serve it plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Quick and easy coffee panna cotta with chocolate caramel sauce and chocolate curls (yeah, this is a bit of a chocolate overload, but it’s so worth it).

Tips:

• To make the panna cotta extra smooth and creamy, use an immersion blender when blending the hot cream mixture.
• Make sure to let the coffee grounds steep in the milk for at least 5 minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients. This will give the panna cotta a more pronounced coffee flavor.
