Good desserts feed the soul and even if you don't have a major sweet tooth, there has to be some sort of dessert you like. But there is one problem with desserts, many desserts take a lot of time to make, and a lot of ingredients, complete with meticulous steps and timing. This makes the process of making desserts too complicated but not all hope is lost! Here are five dessert recipes that are quick, easy, and use as few ingredients as possible.
