What is a no-bake dessert

A no-bake dessert is a dessert that requires no baking. The moisture from the cream and the natural sweetness of the fruit come together to create a dessert without the use of chemicals, sugar, or eggs. The result is a gluten-free, dairy-free, and easy dessert that is perfect for last minute entertaining or when you want to treat yourself or a loved one. There are many no-bake desserts on the market that you can purchase at specialty stores or online.

There are also many recipes that can be made at home that call for cornstarch, egg whites, sugar, and baking soda. These recipes usually involve a stovetop cookery process that requires a good deal of clean up after the fact.

Maple syrup, honey, and other high-fructose corn syrup are also great Alternately, you can use 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal instead of the olive oil. Once the crust and filling have been combined, press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
