Tips for easy no bake desserts
- For ice cream, make sure to chop up any mix-ins. Chocolate chunks, hard shelled candy (like M&M’s) and nuts can become very hard when frozen, so it’s good to chop them up first.
- No churn ice cream needs a consistent temp to freeze, so place your ice cream mix in the back of the freezer (i.e. away from the door), where the temperature is most stable.
- Add herbs to fruit dishes. Fresh herbs can enhance a fruity dish. Mint is super refreshing with melon and citrus. While a bit of basil can be a great when married with berries.
- Fresh citrus zest can amp up the flavors in a fruit salad or fruity dessert – like a pudding. Plus, freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice keeps fruit from turning brown. You only need a couple of spoonfuls to make a big difference!
- If your no bake cheesecake still isn’t firm after chilling it, you can freeze it to further firm up the cheesecake. Make sure not to freeze the cheesecake too long unwrapped as it can cause the texture to become gritty.
- When making a mousse, use good quality ingredients. It’s important to use good quality dark chocolate, this gives a rich texture to the mousse.Also, ensure your cream is fresh and chilled, before whipping.
