A lot of people have made this misconception that to have that perfect dessert, it can only be bought from the most expensive bakery. Whether it’s a sheet cake, fondue, or a chocolate fountain, these desserts are easy to make and do not take that much time. Here are the tastiest and easiest home desserts that are fun to make.

1. Cinnamon Rolls

Nothing is better than waking up on a Christmas morning to the warm fresh scent of Cinnamon rolls and a nice hot cup of hot chocolate. Turns out, this vibe recipe is not difficult at all to make.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 oz package yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 cup divided sugar
• 1/2 cup scalded milk
• 1/3 cup of melted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup of walnuts
• 1/2 cup plus 4 tablespoons divided, 1/2 cup melted
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 to 6 tablespoons hot water

Steps:

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter or shortening, salt, and the egg. Add two cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Beat the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in a well-greased bowl and let rise until doubled, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When doubled, punch down dough. Spread out on flour surface into a rectangle then spread melted butter all over the dough. Mix 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts, pecans, or raisins if desired. Beginning at 15-inch side roll up the dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12 to 15 slices. Spread the bottom of the baking pan with butter and sprinkle with light sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 °Fahrenheit for about 25 to 30 minutes or until nicely browned. Meanwhile, mix 4 tablespoons of butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Spread over slightly cooled rolls.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

3. Banana Pudding

If you want to talk sweets, Banana pudding is a multi-layer of deliciousness. I know that it may come across as intimating to make by its appearance, but the process is quite simple.

4. Peach cobbler

Some of the best sweets are the ones that include other ingredients like fruit. Peach Cobbler is a dessert that offers the taste of a sweet treat with the delectable citrus flavors of fruit.

Pour mixture over melted butter and place fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. The batter will begin to rise to the top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Finally, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to serve.
