10 Quick No-Bake Desserts with Hazelnut Butter & White Chocolate

Sometimes a good dessert turns an ordinary evening into a special one. But we don't always have the time or patience to bake a cake and turn on the oven. Hazelnut butter and white chocolate, with its creamy texture and delicate, sweet flavor, is a great shortcut for making quick desserts, with no baking skills required. In this Onjil article, we go through 10 simple recipes that are all ready in under 15 minutes.

Why is hazelnut butter and white chocolate great for desserts?

• Ready-made texture: no need to melt chocolate or make a ganache.
• Double flavor: the aroma of roasted hazelnuts and the vanilla sweetness of white chocolate complement each other.
• Real nuts: part of the dessert's sweetness is replaced by hazelnuts, which provide vitamin E, manganese and healthy fat.

10 quick desserts

1. Greek yogurt mousse

Mix one cup of Greek yogurt with two spoonfuls of hazelnut butter and white chocolate until smooth. Pour it into a glass and sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top. 5 minutes!

2. Date and hazelnut truffles

Blend 10 pitted Khasooei dates with two spoonfuls of hazelnut butter in a food processor, roll into balls and coat them in coconut powder or chopped hazelnuts. We have a similar idea in the date and nut butter snack.

3. No-bake dessert cups

Mix crushed whole-grain biscuits with a little soft butter and press them into the bottom of a glass. Second layer: yogurt or whipped cream mixed with hazelnut butter and white chocolate. Top with strawberries.

4. Stuffed strawberries

Hollow out the centers of the strawberries a little and fill them with hazelnut butter and white chocolate. Simple, elegant and perfect for serving guests.

5. Banana ice cream

Blend two frozen bananas with a spoonful of hazelnut butter in a food processor until it takes on an ice cream texture. No added sugar and wonderfully creamy.

6. Crepe rolls

Wrap a crepe or thin lavash bread around hazelnut butter, white chocolate and banana, slice it and garnish with slivered pistachios.

7. Hazelnut chia pudding

Put three spoonfuls of chia seeds in a glass of milk, add a spoonful of hazelnut butter and leave it in the fridge overnight. In the morning you have a ready-made dessert-breakfast.

8. Microwave mug cake

Mix 4 spoonfuls of flour, one egg, 3 spoonfuls of milk, a spoonful of hazelnut butter and a little baking powder in a mug, and microwave for 70 seconds.

9. Party fruit dip

Thin hazelnut butter and white chocolate with a little warm milk and serve it next to a tray of cut fruit.

10. Waffles or pancakes

Spread a layer of hazelnut butter and white chocolate over a warm waffle and garnish with berries and banana. If you like pistachio waffles, see the pistachio butter waffle recipe.

Golden tips for healthier desserts

• Use Greek yogurt instead of cream for more protein and less fat.
• Use the sweetness of fruit and dates in place of added sugar.
• Serve desserts in small dishes; the same enjoyment, a smaller amount.
• For lighter desserts, use sugar-free pure hazelnut butter.
