While recently on vacation in Cabo, I tasted the best flan I have ever had! I used to hate flan because I had only tasted it in the United States where some restaurants use a package mix that contains gelatin. Meanwhile, I developed a recipe for flan using only evaporated milk not too long ago, without any gelatin. It was much better. However, this latest recipe is amazing! The recipe was given to me by Chef, Caesar, at El Molina restaurant, at the Hyatt Ziva in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. (Soon, I’ll share more about this all-inclusive resort in regards to gluten free menus.)

This makes the richest and most decadent chocolate mousse you’ll ever have. It reminds me of what five-star restaurants serve. Don’t skimp on perfection. Use high-quality chocolate. Serve alone, top with whipped cream, or use as a filling for my upcoming Crunchy Gluten Free Chocolate Mousse Pie recipe. Continue reading “Five-Star Gluten Free Chocolate Mousse”
I had never heard of Indian pudding before this week. So, I did some research and came up with my own version. I found a couple versions online that sounded good, but weren’t just right for my taste buds. One contained egg and other did not. Without egg, it just wouldn’t taste like custard, which is what I really prefer. The other contained egg, but neither were baked in a water bath. I have provided you with the traditional egg-free and custard versions. I hope you enjoy this recipe. It is a reminder of the dish our early settlers made and is a traditional Thanksgiving dessert in New England. A matter of fact, it’s also called, New England Indian Pudding. I enjoy it because it tastes similar to pumpkin, to which I am allergic. I think I’ll try it without the corn next time, and perhaps an additional egg. That would make it pumpkin-spiced custard. Mmmm. Enjoy! Continue reading “Indian Pudding – Naturally Gluten-Free Pumpkin-Free”
Sabayon is French for a light, whipped custard containing sweet wine or champagne. In Italian it is called zabaione. You can become extremely creative with this dessert. I added some caramelized fruit and topped it creme brulee style. You can use fresh fruit, but when not in season, canned peaches will do or a little pie filling. Below, I have shared the recipe as well as the different sweet sparkling wines you can use in this naturally gluten free sabayon creme brulee. It’s a perfect dessert to serve to those who are gluten-free when you’re not, as it doesn’t call for any special ingredients.

You will find recipes calling for flour in pastry cream. However, it creates a sandy, almost powdery texture. There is an easy workaround for this problem, which creates an amazingly smooth texture. Use pastry cream to fill pastries, Boston cream pie, and other desserts.

I made this flan recipe on Cinco de Mayo. It is a Mexican and Spanish tradition, though you may find some slight differences in recipes. It is naturally gluten free. This is my personal version which omits sweetened condensed milk. I find it too sweet. You can easily make flan using evaporated milk only and control the amount of sugar you add. I have leftovers of this luscious dessert and can’t wait to have some again tonight. Yum! Continue reading “Flan Using Evaporated Milk Only”
Today is National Chocolate Souffle Day! Who can resist? Not me! Souffles have a bad wrap for being difficult to make, but they aren’t. I wouldn’t advise poking them with a toothpick, but they are fairly easy. Just be sure to beat those egg whites, as instructed. With chocolate, you really can’t do any wrong. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chocolate Souffle”
While not all ready-made or boxed pudding brands are gluten free, you can always use naturally gluten free ingredients to make them from scratch. Instead of making gluten free pudding, which contains flour, I prefer custard. There isn’t any floury taste or texture in custard because it does not contain flour. While this may not occur in pudding with wheat flour, it does in gluten free pudding. In addition, gluten free flour creates a bit of slimy texture in pudding (too thick). Custard really is the way to go. Serve this rich butterscotch custard plain or topped with caramel sauce and/or whipped cream. It’s so decadent! Continue reading “Butterscotch Custard Recipe”
We had a couple of guests for an early dinner on New Year’s Day. I ran out of time and hadn’t made any dessert. So, right after dinner I began experimenting with a quick chocolate mousse recipe and whipped up one that I will make again and again. I was so pleased and so were our guests. They were gluten-eating guests, but one loved it so much, she cleaned the mixing bowl. Enjoy! Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free Chocolate Mousse in 5 Minutes”
