Raspberry Cream Pie
Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies make up the base of this party-ready pie, which gets its flavor (and pretty pink hue) from a combination of fresh raspberries and raspberry yogurt in the filling. Store-bought instant pudding mix helps the filling turn out rich and thick (and saves you time when prepping the dessert).

Lemon Thyme Pudding
These individual-serving puddings look fancy, but they’re actually so easy to prep. Ree balances the super-creamy lemon pudding with a base of crushed cookies.

Crazy Chocolate Shakes
When concocting a milkshake of this magnitude, layering becomes key. Ree starts with swirls of ganache inside the glass, plus along the rim, so candies can stick to the chocolate. After that, she opts for a base of chocolate ice cream, then she piles on the toppings, including caramel bars for over-the-top dessert decadence.

Triple Chocolate Tiramisu
For a no-bake dessert that yields impressive results every time, look no further than this party-ready tiramisu. The espresso-soaked ladyfinger cookies will slowly soften as they absorb the indulgent combination of white chocolate-mascarpone, sweetened egg yolks and whipped cream.

Salted Caramel Frosted Brownies
