The Conversation
When it comes to dessert, sometimes you just want something nice and simple to satisfy your sweet tooth. Creative yums like dessert lasagna recipes or dessert hummus recipes can be fun, but they often require a packed pantry full of ingredients and mix-ins. These drool-worthy recipes are made with just three (that's right, THREE) ingredients or less. Whip up one of these sweet treats next time you're in a pinch to quell a sugar craving.
1. No-Bake Bonbons: Cream, butter, and chocolate chips form the base of the truffles. If you want to make it boozy, add in a splash of Baileys. If you want to make it crunchy, roll it in sprinkles afterward. (via Brit + Co)
Banana Cinnamon Rolls
Talk about clean eating. These amazing cinnamon rolls are completely vegan and grain-free. The sweetness, of course, comes from bananas and dates — two of the most beloved dessert ingredients in the world of healthy eating. You only need three ingredients (bananas + dates + cinnamon), but you can add vanilla and/or salt if desired. (via Feasting on Fruit)
