Best Dessert Recipes of 2016

Monday, January 2, 2017 by Lolli Leave a Comment

Who else LOVES desserts? I’m a dessert-a-holic, but surprisingly I didn’t share as many new recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth last year as I have in previous years.

I’ll count that as a positive thing (but it probably just means that I’m still making all of the OLD dessert recipes and adding new recipes at a slower rate).

Since I shared my top 10 main dish recipes of 2016 yesterday, I figured it was only fitting that I share my best desserts, too.

My recipe for quick-rise cinnamon rolls was one of the top posts of the entire year, and rightly so! I love freshly-baked cinnamon rolls, but I don’t always love the amount of time they take. This recipe cuts down on a lot of the time but doesn’t skimp on the taste at all!

I’ve been making OR eating this layered strawberry jello salad since I was a kid. It’s synonymous with the holidays for me! You’ll never believe what’s in the middle layer.

I love my husband’s peanut butter cookies, but when we make them with Snickers in the middle, they achieve a whole new level of amazingness!

Sometimes I just want an easy dessert and a quick chocolate fix. This cookie fits the bill!

These easy chocolate crinkle cookies from Food Fun Family couldn't be easier to make. This recipe only calls for 4 simple ingredients, but they turn out moist and delicious every time!

Most people think of granola as a topping for yogurt or a snack to take on hikes or campouts. This dark chocolate granola satisfies my sweet tooth and my chocolate craving but has the added benefit of being a little better for me. So I can eat twice as much, right??

These rainbow-on-the-outside, pink-on-the-inside cake balls are so much fun. They may look like the perfect treat for a kids’ birthday party (which they are!) but I admit I ate more of these than my kids did!

I LOVE all things nutella, and these nutella-cheesecake-filled crescent rolls are sure to please any nutella fan like me!

Nutella-cheesecake crescent rolls: a delicious and easy holiday recipe. These sweet treats are crowd pleasers and sure to disappear fast, but amazingly quick and easy to make!

I love muffins – for breakfast, for dessert, for a mid-day snack! Like the dark chocolate granola above, these flourless banana oatmeal muffins are a great way to satisfy my sweet tooth without the guilt (especially when I add a chocolate chips to the batter!).

Flourless banana oatmeal muffins - these are gluten free, easy to customize, and totally delicious! Great for an on-the-go snack or a tasty flourless breakfast

And last, but not least, no dessert recipe list is complete without my favorite no-fail buttercream frosting. This recipe just happens to come with printable cupcake toppers for St. Patrick’s Day, too!
