We’re so glad you’re here exploring our no-bake dessert recipes! Before you start creating delicious treats, please take a few minutes to read this disclaimer. It’s important stuff about what our content is (and isn’t), and what you need to know to use our recipes safely and successfully.
We test every recipe thoroughly and share honest information, but we can’t control what happens in your specific kitchen. This disclaimer explains our limitations and your responsibilities when using our content.
General Information & Educational Purpose
What Our Content Is: No Baking Dessert provides recipes, cooking techniques, ingredient information, kitchen tips, and dessert-related content for general informational and educational purposes. We share what works in our kitchens based on our testing and experience.
What Our Content Is NOT: Our content is not professional medical advice, nutritional counseling, food safety certification, dietary planning, or a substitute for consulting with qualified professionals.
We’re passionate home cooks and recipe developers—not registered dietitians, medical doctors, certified nutritionists, or food safety inspectors. Our recipes and advice come from practical experience, research, and testing, but they shouldn’t replace professional guidance when needed.
Recipe Accuracy & Results
⚠️ Important: While we test every recipe multiple times in our own kitchens, we cannot guarantee results in yours.
Why Results May Vary:
- Ingredient Differences: Brand variations, ingredient freshness, regional differences in products (cream cheese texture varies by brand, for example)
- Equipment Variations: Different mixer speeds, bowl sizes, refrigerator temperatures, measuring cup accuracy
- Environmental Factors: Kitchen temperature, humidity levels, altitude differences can all affect no-bake desserts
- Execution Differences: Mixing time, chilling duration, interpretation of instructions—even small variations can impact results
- Substitutions: If you substitute ingredients (different sweeteners, dairy alternatives, etc.), results may differ from our original recipe
Our Testing Process: We test recipes 4-6 times in our Alabama kitchens with grocery store ingredients before publishing. We photograph actual results (not styled perfection), document what works and what doesn’t, and update recipes when we discover improvements. However, we test under specific conditions that may not match yours.
No Guarantees: We provide recipes “as is” without guarantees of specific outcomes. We can’t promise your dessert will look exactly like our photos, set perfectly every time, or receive rave reviews from your family. Baking and cooking involve variables we can’t control.
Food Safety & Handling
⚠️ Critical Responsibility: You are solely responsible for food safety practices in your kitchen.
Food Safety Best Practices:
- Proper Refrigeration: No-bake desserts containing dairy, eggs, or other perishable ingredients MUST be refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below. Don’t leave desserts at room temperature for extended periods.
- Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh, unexpired ingredients. Check expiration dates on dairy products, check eggs for freshness, inspect fruit for signs of spoilage.
- Cross-Contamination: Use clean utensils, bowls, and work surfaces. Wash hands thoroughly before food preparation.
- Storage Duration: Our recipes include suggested storage times, but these are estimates. Use your judgment—if something looks, smells, or tastes off, don’t consume it.
- Temperature Control: Pay attention to temperature requirements in recipes. If a recipe says “chill for 4 hours,” that’s for both texture AND food safety reasons.
- Raw Ingredients: Some no-bake recipes may contain ingredients that haven’t been cooked (raw eggs in some mousses, for example). Understand the risks, use pasteurized products when available, and don’t serve to high-risk populations (young children, pregnant women, elderly, immunocompromised) without proper precautions.
When in Doubt: If you’re unsure whether a dessert is safe to eat, err on the side of caution and discard it. Food poisoning is serious and not worth the risk.
Food Safety Resources: For authoritative food safety guidance, consult resources like the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, the FDA, or your local health department.
Allergens & Dietary Restrictions
⚠️ Life-Threatening Consideration: If you have food allergies, you MUST verify ingredients independently. Our allergen information is provided as a courtesy but cannot be guaranteed to be complete or current.
Allergen Information Limitations:
- We try to note common allergens (dairy, eggs, nuts, gluten, soy), but we may miss some or manufacturers may change formulations
- We cannot guarantee “allergen-free” claims—cross-contamination can occur in manufacturing facilities
- Ingredient formulations change—a product that was safe last year may contain allergens now
- Hidden allergens exist in processed ingredients (modified food starch, natural flavors, etc.)
Your Responsibility:
- Read Every Label: Always read complete ingredient labels on every product you use, every time you shop
- Contact Manufacturers: If you have serious allergies, contact manufacturers directly about allergen information and cross-contamination risks
- Consult Medical Professionals: Work with allergists, registered dietitians, or other healthcare providers to understand safe food choices for your specific situation
- Don’t Rely Solely on Us: Our allergen notes are starting points, not definitive medical guidance
Dietary Restrictions: If you follow specific diets (gluten-free, vegan, keto, diabetic, etc.) for health reasons, verify that recipes and ingredients meet your requirements. We may label recipes with dietary categories, but you must confirm they’re appropriate for your needs.
Nutritional Information
Estimates Only: Nutritional information provided on our recipes is calculated using standard nutrition databases and recipe calculation tools. These are estimates, not precise measurements.
Why Nutrition Info Varies:
- Ingredient brands have different nutritional profiles
- Serving sizes are approximate and subjective
- Measuring precision varies (a “cup” of something can vary significantly)
- Calculation tools use average values, not your specific ingredients
- Optional ingredients or suggested modifications aren’t always reflected
Not Medical Nutrition Advice: We are not registered dietitians, nutritionists, or medical professionals. Our nutritional estimates should not be used to:
- Manage medical conditions (diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, etc.)
- Calculate precise macros for medical diets
- Make decisions about medication or medical treatment
- Determine appropriate intake for specific health conditions
For Medical Nutritional Needs: If you need accurate nutritional information for medical reasons, consult with a registered dietitian who can:
- Calculate precise nutritional values using your specific ingredients
- Adapt recipes to meet medical dietary requirements
- Provide personalized guidance for your health conditions
- Monitor your nutritional intake in context of your overall health
No Professional Relationship
No Client Relationship: Using our website, reading our recipes, subscribing to our newsletter, or communicating with us does not create any professional-client relationship. Specifically:
- Not Dietitian-Client: We don’t provide personalized meal planning, medical nutrition therapy, or dietary counseling
- Not Medical Professional-Patient: We don’t diagnose conditions, recommend treatments, or provide medical advice
- Not Business Consultant-Client: If you’re starting a dessert business, we can’t provide business, legal, or regulatory guidance
General Information Only: Everything we share is general information based on our experience. We don’t know your specific situation—your health conditions, dietary needs, kitchen setup, or skill level. You’re responsible for determining whether our content is appropriate for your circumstances.
Consult Professionals When Needed:
- Health concerns? Talk to your doctor or registered dietitian
- Serious food allergies? Work with an allergist
- Starting a food business? Consult food safety authorities, business advisors, and legal professionals
- Dietary restrictions for medical conditions? Get guidance from qualified healthcare providers
Results Not Guaranteed
We share recipes and techniques that work for us, but we cannot guarantee you’ll achieve the same results. Your experience may differ based on countless variables.
No Promises About:
- Perfect Texture: Your dessert may be softer, firmer, smoother, or grainier than expected
- Exact Appearance: Photos show our results under specific conditions with specific styling. Yours will likely look different.
- Taste Preferences: What we find delicious, you might find too sweet, not sweet enough, too rich, etc. Taste is subjective.
- Time Requirements: Prep times are estimates. You might work faster or slower than we do.
- Family Acceptance: We can’t promise your kids will eat it, your spouse will love it, or your party guests will rave about it. People’s preferences vary wildly.
- Problem-Free Execution: Even with clear instructions, things can go wrong. Desserts may not set, flavors may not blend as expected, techniques may be challenging.
Learning Process: Recipe success often improves with practice. If something doesn’t work the first time, that’s normal. Cooking and baking involve learning curves, even for experienced cooks.
External Links & Third-Party Content
Links to Other Sites: Our website includes links to external websites (ingredient suppliers, equipment recommendations, related resources). We’re not responsible for:
- Content accuracy on external sites
- Privacy practices of other websites
- Products or services offered by third parties
- Changes to external content after we link to it
- Any transactions you make with external businesses
Product Recommendations: When we recommend specific products (mixers, ingredients, tools), these are based on our personal experience and preference. We don’t guarantee they’re the best choice for you or that you’ll have the same experience. Product quality can vary, manufacturers change formulations, and individual needs differ.
Affiliate Relationships: Some links may be affiliate links (disclosed when present), but this doesn’t change the accuracy or reliability of information. We recommend products we genuinely use or believe are valuable, regardless of affiliate status.
Content Updates & Accuracy
Ongoing Learning: We’re constantly learning and improving. We update recipes when we:
- Discover better techniques
- Receive helpful reader feedback
- Find errors in instructions or measurements
- Learn new information about ingredients or food science
No Guarantee of Current Information: While we strive to keep content current, we can’t guarantee every recipe reflects our latest knowledge or that all information is completely up-to-date.
Ingredient Changes: Food products change—manufacturers reformulate, ingredients are discontinued, seasonal availability varies. Information that was accurate when we wrote it may become outdated.
Report Issues: If you notice errors, outdated information, or have suggestions for improvements, please email us at [email protected]. We genuinely appreciate feedback that helps us improve.
User Comments & Community Content
Not Our Advice: Comments, reviews, and tips shared by readers are their own opinions and experiences, not ours. We:
- Don’t verify every reader tip or substitution suggestion
- Can’t guarantee accuracy of user-submitted content
- Aren’t responsible for advice given by commenters
- May not catch all inaccurate or harmful comments before publication
Use Discretion: Reader comments can be helpful, but evaluate them critically. What worked for one person may not work for you. Verify important information independently.
We Moderate: We remove spam, offensive content, and clearly harmful advice, but we can’t review every comment in detail or verify every claim.

Use at Your Own Risk: You use our website, recipes, and information entirely at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability for:
- Recipe Failures: Desserts that don’t turn out, wasted ingredients, disappointing results
- Food Safety Issues: Foodborne illness, spoilage, allergic reactions, or any health problems related to food preparation or consumption
- Injuries: Kitchen accidents, burns, cuts, or other injuries that may occur during food preparation
- Financial Loss: Cost of ingredients, equipment purchases, or any other financial impacts from using our content
- Indirect Consequences: Missed events due to recipe failures, embarrassment from results, or any other indirect consequences
In Plain Terms: We’re not legally responsible if a recipe doesn’t work, if you get sick, if you have an allergic reaction, if you cut yourself chopping ingredients, if you’re disappointed with results, or for any other problem that arises from using our content.
We genuinely care about your success and safety (we respond to every troubleshooting email!), but we can’t assume legal liability for outcomes we can’t control.
A Personal Note:
We know this disclaimer sounds scary and negative. Here’s the truth: thousands of people use our recipes successfully every week. We care deeply about creating content that works, and we’re genuinely invested in your success.
This disclaimer isn’t because we expect problems—it’s because we legally need to be clear about limitations and responsibilities. We want you to have realistic expectations and understand that while we do our absolute best, we can’t control every variable in your kitchen.
If you have questions, concerns, or run into problems, please reach out. We’re here to help troubleshoot and make your dessert-making experience as joyful as possible. — Jennifer, Meriam & Jessie
