It can be overwhelming and time-consuming, especially if you’re not a seasoned baker. Don’t worry, there are easy chocolate recipes available that taste like they took all day to make, but in reality, they require only five ingredients or less and no baking! Here are three of our favorite, impressive-yet-easy chocolate dessert recipes: Chocolate Mousse: If you’re looking for a dessert that is both elegant and easy to make, chocolate mousse is a perfect choice. This recipe from Half Baked Harvest only requires four ingredients: heavy cream, vanilla extract, chocolate hazelnut spread, and espresso powder. Simply whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold in the remaining ingredients. Let it chill in the fridge for a few hours, and voila! Plate in individual dessert cups, or even small water glasses. For garnish, add whipped cream, chocolate shavings, raspberries, or a sprig of mint and you are ready to serve this delicious and easy chocolate dessert at your next brunch or dinner party.

GET RECIPE Chocolate Bark: Chocolate bark is a great option if you’re in a rush but still want something sweet and chocolatey. All you need is chocolate chips and your favorite toppings. This recipe from Martha Stewart recommends using almonds and sea salt, but we really love using chopped dried fruit, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and pretzels. Simply melt the chocolate in the microwave or on a double boiler, spread it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle your toppings on top. Let it chill in the fridge until it’s set and hard, and then break it into pieces for a quick and easy chocolate treat. We also love chocolate bark as a wonderful, personal gift for a friend, teacher, or co-worker.

GET RECIPE Chocolate Truffles: Truffles may sound fancy and time-consuming, but they’re actually very easy to make. This recipe from Allrecipes only requires three ingredients: bittersweet or dark chocolate (can be chocolate chips, chopped baking chocolate or grated baking chocolate), heavy cream, and butter. Simply melt the chocolate, butter, and cream together, let it chill in the fridge until it’s firm enough to roll into balls, and then roll them in cocoa powder or your favorite toppings like chopped pretzels, your favorite chopped nuts, or even sprinkles. These easy chocolate truffles make great party favors and hostess gifts, and they taste like they were made by a professional chocolatier. Ready to try something new?
