Gluten Free Raw Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

Douglas McNish makes a mean Raw Vegan Gluten Free Cheesecake. I started with his recipe and by the time I was finished, it developed into this lovely raw pumpkin cheesecake recipe. You will need a high speed blender to make this. There is no getting around it. If you are not fortunate enough to own one, note that there are lower cost alternatives to the VitaMix brand. Meanwhile, raw pumpkin cheesecake is topped with raw caramel sauce, whipped nut cream, and cocoa nibs. I’ve included all of the recipes including how to make raw vanilla extract “liquid”. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Recipe

A gluten free pumpkin pie recipe with a traditional filling. The use of both granulated sugar and brown sugar create a caramelized flavor that is hard to resist. Top it with homemade whipped cream or a gluten free ready-made brand such as Cabot. For a dairy-free topping, try the crunchy praline topping. The crust tastes amazing, as well, and is fairly easy to handle and roll. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Recipe”

Gluten Free Chow Mein Recipe with Chicken

To make a great-tasting gluten free chow mein recipe you need the same ingredients as its gluten counterpart. It’s all in the quality of noodles you use. I use brown rice spaghetti; however, using spaghetti containing corn is more authentic. Heartland’s gluten free spaghetti is excellent. Quality brands of brown rice spaghetti include Tinkyada and Jovial. Add this recipe to your easy gluten free recipes as it cooks up fast. Enjoy!

  1. Boil spaghetti according to manufacturer's instructions. Drain, toss with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and set aside.
  2. Preheat a wok or heavy skillet over medium-high heat with neutral flavored cooking oil. Add chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Add sesame oil and heat until hot.
  4. Add carrots and saute for 4 minutes.
  5. Add onion and celery and saute for until onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add spinach and garlic and saute long enough to heat, about 1 minute.
  7. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, pepper flakes, and bring to a boil.
  8. Mix cornstarch with equal amounts of cold water and pour into the sauce, whisking as you pour.
  9. Return chicken to pan, stir and heat long enough to warm the chicken.
  10. Toss with gluten free pasta and allow noodles to absorb the sauce for about 5 minutes.
  11. Serve alone, or topped with crunchy chow menu noodles, see the above link.

Tips

*If you have hot chili oil, use 1/2 teaspoon of it to replace the sesame oil and omit the red pepper flakes. Chili oil is what I use, but not everyone can find it.

You can add any vegetables you desire: snow peas, yellow onion, green or red bell pepper, or even water chestnuts.

Gluten Free Butter Cookies (French Sablés)

These gluten free butter cookies are named “sables” after the town in which they were first made in 1670, Sablé-sur-Sarthe, a town in West France. The word means “sand” which is fitting of these cookies as they are tender and have soft crumbs that crumble easily. They are also known as “sand butter” cookies. Generally you make them without eggs, but if you prefer, you may make them with heavy cream. Roll out and cut the dough. You can even sandwich them with your desired filling. However, the dough may simply be sliced and baked. Sables compliment custards, poached fruit, and other moist desserts, similar to biscotti. Of course, you can serve them with coffee, tea, or milk, as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Butter Cookies (French Sablés)”
