Sometimes it takes just a few minutes and only three ingredients to satisfy your sweet tooth. We’re here to share these super easy three-ingredient recipes, which are perfect for any occasion and can be thrown together in advance or at the last minute.
Rich three-ingredient chocolate cake
Free of yeast, flour, and milk, this cake will blow your mind. You’ll surely have everything you need right at home: 2/3 pound of chocolate, 2/3 stick of butter, and 4 eggs. The result? A slightly crispy outside and a moist, decadent inside. There’s no sugar in this cake, so it’s perfect for all the dark chocolate lovers out there. Alternatively, you can use milk chocolate for a sweeter taste. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and melt it, heating it briefly in the microwave or over a bain-marie, then add the softened butter and combine. Beat the eggs for about 10 minutes with a whisk. Since you’re not using other ingredients such as yeast or baking powder, you’ll have to try to incorporate as much air as possible. Slowly add in the chocolate-butter mixture, continuing to mix from the bottom upwards until you get an even batter. Pour the batter into a cake pan and bake in a preheated 320°F oven for 40-45 minutes. Let cool and serve dusted with powdered sugar.
Easy coffee semifreddo
This 3-ingredient no-bake dessert is extremely simple to make. You’ll need: 2 cups of whipping cream, 3/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 shot of espresso. Prepare the espresso and, after letting it cool, combine it with the condensed milk until you get an even mixture. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks and incorporate the coffee mixture, mixing gently from bottom to top. Pour the mixture into a silicone mold or an aluminum mold lined plastic wrap. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about 5 hours. Remove the semifreddo from the mold and serve on a serving dish.
Easy coconut balls
These butter-free, egg-free treats are also a delicious no-bake dessert that can be made with just three ingredients: 2 1/2 cups of shredded coconut, 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 2 cups of ricotta. First mix the sugar with the ricotta, then add in 3/4 of the shredded coconut until you get a very even mixture. Create little balls using your hands and a spoon, and coat them in the remaining shredded coconut. Place them on a serving dish and chill them in the fridge for one hour or in the freezer for 15 minutes. It’s as easy as that!
