11 Quick & Easy No-Bake Gluten-Free Desserts

No bake gluten free desserts are sweets made without an oven, using ingredients that are naturally gluten free. They typically rely on nut butters, almond flour, certified GF oats, dark chocolate, and coconut, with the fridge or freezer setting them in place of heat. Most come together in under 15 minutes of active prep and can easily be made dairy free.

Looking for new gluten-free dessert ideas that are no bake? This list includes chocolate truffles, cheesecake bars, peanut butter fudge, chia pudding, and cookie dough bites you're sure to love.

Four no-bake gluten-free desserts: chocolate almond bark, energy bites in a glass bowl, cheesecake slice with whipped cream, and pecan chocolate clusters.

I love these no-bake gluten-free desserts! I love that I can throw them together in 15 minutes with ingredients I already have. I love that most of them live in the fridge for days, so I'm not making dessert from scratch every time I want something sweet, especially on a hot summer day when the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven. When I want something chocolatey, I make chocolate truffles or chocolate bark, both use just a handful of ingredients and take almost no effort. When I want something creamy, I go straight to no bake cheesecake or strawberry cheesecake bars. And when I need something I can grab and go, I keep a batch of cookie dough bites or lemon coconut balls in the fridge all week.

Below you'll find 11 of my favorite easy no-bake gluten-free desserts. All of them are naturally gluten-free and most can be made dairy free with one simple swap. No matter what you're craving or occasion you're making this for, you're guaranteed to find a sweet treat you'll love. I hope a few of these make it into your regular rotation!
