It shows the texture, which is like tender pastry. I’m going to start filling them more than just ice cream! Continue reading “Gluten Free Churro Bowls and Rings (Baked)”

If you’re tired of your pastry cream tasting like flour or lumping when you make it, this is a must-make! Not only does this recipe create the perfect gluten free pastry cream, but it is so easy to make! Its rich and satiny texture is hard to resist. Your guests will surely be impressed. Serve this pastry cream as a sauce over unfrosted cakes, use as filling for cakes and cupcakes, like a custard, or use to fill pastries. They make homemade cream puffs and eclairs taste like a professional pastry chef made them. Turn this pastry cream into a sturdier and lighter filling by mixing with whipped cream.

I recently purchased a pint of Talenti Sea Salt Caramel Gelato. However, it turned out to NOT be gluten free. It is one of the few flavors that may contain wheat. I was so sad because it is truly an amazing flavor! They made it even better by adding a few miniature chocolate-covered caramel truffles. Oh my goodness! My husband and I fell in love with it! I just had to create a gluten free salted caramel gelato recipe for everyone without the gluten, corn, and soy. I also use organic ingredients in mine. Do whatever you can afford. Also, feel free to add gluten free chocolate chips, or caramel truffles if you have some on hand. Continue reading “Gluten Free Sea Salt Caramel Gelato Recipe (Ice Cream)”
