A collection of scrumptious easy chocolate desserts including cakes, pies, ice cream, cookies, and dips. A chocolate lover’s dream!

Four chocolate desserts, text overlay reads "20+ easy chocolate recipes."

Can you ever have too much chocolate? I don’t think so. 

Does everyone love chocolate? Do you know anyone who doesn’t love chocolate? Think about it. I heard a  joke recently, “There are two types of people in this world: people who love chocolate, and liars.”

I won’t lie, I love chocolate. While I don’t normally have a sweet tooth, chocolate is the exception, particularly dark chocolate. 

I’ve collected twenty of my favorite chocolate recipes for you to peruse. I know you’ll discover one that you can’t live without. You’ll find recipes for chocolate cookies, tarts, fondue, trifles, cakes, ice cream, and more. 

About these easy chocolate desserts

Dark chocolate brigadeiros (fudge balls) rolled in red and white sprinkles. Flourless chocolate cake with fudge ganache and garnished with toasted coconut. Homemade chocolate cocoa nib ice cream. Double chocolate pecan cake (you won’t have to frost this one!). Red raspberry and brownie mini trifles.

Are you drooling yet? Irish coffee ice cream pie with whiskey ganache. Hot chocolate cheesecake dip. Decadent chocolate tart with berries. Banana chocolate chip cake piled with chocolate cream cheese frosting. And more!

You may want to try them all! 

You know, Valentine’s Day is almost here. Choose one of these spectacular chocolate recipes to make, and surprise someone you love! Nothing says love more than a home baked treat. 

Perhaps you can think of a person who would appreciate the thoughtful gesture of a homemade chocolate goodie, maybe a new neighbor or someone who lives alone. Invite them over for a cup of coffee or tea, a piece of chocolate cake, and conversation. Kindness makes a difference, even better if it’s paired with chocolate.

“Kind hearts are the gardens. Kind thoughts are the roots. Kind words are the blossoms. Kind deeds are the fruits.” (Kirpal Singh)
