"Sometimes you're craving something sweet in the moment, need to prepare something for a potluck on the fly, or you're just not in the mood to deal with a finicky oven. Whatever the reason, it's never a bad idea to have a few no-bake dessert recipes up your sleeve - like a sweet, sugary magician. No-bake desserts took off in the 1960s, back when Jell-O brand products were a fixture in every American kitchen."
"" The Joys of Jell-O" cookbook, published in 1963, featured recipes like the now-legendary cheesecake and fruity cheese pies, none of which needed to see the inside of an oven to be brought to fruition. Some of these vintage no-bake treats are alive and well to this day, while others laid the groundwork for modern desserts that are still frequent flyers on holiday and potluck dessert tables."
