12 Desserts For Two – Quick & Easy Delicious Ideas!

Cooking for two people seems more difficult than cooking for a large group, doesn’t it?

It seems strange, but the truth is that since we want a dessert for fewer people, we can’t make a lot of recipes. We won’t make a pie, because we’ll only eat two slices… We won’t make a casserole, because there will be a lot of leftover food…

So, we have a challenge on our hands! What can we make for dessert for two people, without wasting any food? I have 12 easy, quick and cheap alternatives for you!

Shall we get started?

1) Puff Pastry Chocolate Banana Bites

I made this recipe a few days ago and loved it! It’s ideal for two people because you can make just 2 bananas (or even one!).

You choose the quantity you make, without any waste. Plus, it’s simple and quick to make (it took me about 25 minutes in total).

2) 3-Ingredient Nutella Cookies

If you like cookies, you’ll love this recipe! Here you can also make as much as you want, as you can perfectly control the amount of ingredients. My recipe is for about 11 cookies, so for two people make half the amount of ingredients and you will have 4 to 5 cookies. It’s ideal for 2 people!

3) 3-Ingredient Oreo Nutella Mug Cake

This is my favorite mug cake! It’s really simple and fast! I made this in just a few minutes in the microwave and shared it with my boyfriend. However, if you want, you can always make 2 mugs.

Trust me, this mug cake won’t disappoint you. The video is on our TikTok, so if it’s easier you can watch it there.

4) Puff Pastry Cinnamon & Nutella Banana Bites

This recipe is similar to the first one in this article. The difference is that it has a very characteristic cinnamon flavor that cinnamon lovers will love! Instead of banana you can put apple, pear or other fruit.

5) Oreo Ice Cream for Two – Ninja Creami

This recipe is one of my favorites for the Ninja Creami. It is really tasty and, once again, you can control the quantities of ingredients for just two people. The recipe is for about 3 people. Remember that you need a Ninja Creami for this ice cream.

6) Irresistible Nutella French Toast

No… This recipe is not just for Christmas! In fact, I often make this recipe with my boyfriend at the end of dinner because it always tastes so good! It’s super simple and they’re really good warm (I don’t really like cold French toast).

7) Eggless Microwave Brownie Mug Cake

This is another mug cake that I make regularly. It’s a little “lighter” than the one I recommended earlier. Which one is better? I like both, but I actually prefer this one more because it’s not as sweet.

8) Delicious Nutella Brownies

First of all, the recipe I’m recommending to you yields a lot of brownies. We made the recipe and it was enough for 6 people, so I recommend you only make 1/3 of the recipe to make about 4-5 brownies.

It takes a little longer to make than the other recipes, but if you find it worth the effort, trust me, you’ll like it.

9) 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

I say this without any doubt: these were the simplest cookies I have ever made!

They were really quick! It’s almost impossible for them not to go down well! This recipe is delicious and, if you want, the video is also on our TikTok.

10) Swirled Chocolate Buns

I’ll be honest with you… This recipe takes a bit of work! However, it was SO GOOD!!!

I recommend that you only make half the recipe and I also recommend that you use puff pastry from the supermarket if you want to save time, but know that it won’t have the same taste… If you have the time, believe me you won’t regret it.

11) Melt-in-Your-Mouth Vanilla Sugar Cookies

If you like eating cookies for dessert, I believe you will love these cookies. They are very simple to make and (super) delicious. I tried these cookies and they fell apart straight away, so I think they’re an excellent option for those who don’t have time to waste!

So, did you like all my suggestions? I hope so!

I remember that I tested all of these recipes above and that many of them have videos on our TikTok, so you can do whatever you want without fear of going wrong!

Before you go, I wanted to ask you to save this list to your Pinterest boards, so you never run out of ideas for dessert again!
