Cheap and Easy Desserts

We have a lot of cheap easy desserts to share on our holiday blog here for you! From cakes to brownies, cake mix desserts, Christmas bread pudding, Thanksgiving pies, Easter cheesecake and sweets to make for your family.

What is the cheapest dessert?

  • Peeps rice krispy treats made with colored or regular marshmallows, butter, and cereal are inexpensive and quick to make.
  • Sugar Cookies are basic requiring just a few pantry staples like flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. You can also add a simple glaze or sprinkles for decoration.
  • Pudding mixes are very affordable and can be made with milk. You can also layer it with crushed cookies or whipped cream for a more elaborate dessert.
  • Banana Bread is a great way to use overripe bananas, and the other ingredients (flour, sugar, butter, eggs) are inexpensive. It’s a comforting and popular dessert.
  • Ramekin Cake is simple made with minimal ingredients or with boxed cake mix. It’s a quick, single-serving dessert.
  • Jello is one of the cheapest desserts you can make. It’s easy, colorful, and can be dressed up with fruit or whipped cream.
  • Candied Fruit is an inexpensive way to use fresh produce and sugar to make a "fancy" treat. We show you how to do this in How to Make Tanghulu Strawberries.
Cheap Easy Desserts

What is a cheap dessert for a lot of people?

If you are having a party and on a budget you want to provide a fun experience that is sweet and people can create on their own. It should not spoil either so guests can enjoy them throughout the get together. Think of a s'mores bar with skewers to roast their own marshmallows over the firepit.

Create an ice cream bar with a cooler at one end of your island with the main ingredient and all the toppings in bowls set out with small spoons to add whatever they'd like to the top. Boxed brownies can be made in bulk and cut into shapes using cute cookie cutters. And a variety of cookies are a given.
