When you need dessert in a hurry, look no further than one of my famous 3 ingredient desserts! From cheesecake balls to rich and fudgy chocolate mousse-style cake, simple caramel tarts to decadent chocolate fudge, and so many more delicious recipes!

A collage of desserts that have been made with 3 ingredients.

It's no secret that I'm a BIG, HUGE, MASSIVE fan of simple desserts!!

I wish I still had the time to create amazing and time-consuming masterpiece desserts, but the reality is that with young and busy kids, I have zero free time. Zilch. Nothing. Natta.

And as it turns out, virtually all of my amazing readers (that's you guys!!) also have ZERO free time on your hands AND you just want to make an AMAZING dessert without any fuss too!

I HEAR YOU!!!

Have a browse through my 3 ingredient dessert recipes - they're simple, no-fuss and usually don't even require an extra trip to the supermarket.

But don't be fooled... the end product will still look and taste absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Plus, you'll be looking like the dessert queen without making any effort at all!
