Chocolate Chantilly – Rich Egg-Free Chocolate Mousse

Image: Chocolate Chantilly

The definitions of chantilly is 1. (of cream) flavored whipped cream, usually flavored with vanilla, but it can also be rum or liqueur; and 2. (of food) food prepared or served with whipped cream such as peach chantilly: peaches served with whipped cream which is usually flavored. Chocolate chantilly is a very strong flavored whipped chocolate which contains about 75% cocoa. Because the chocolate is so intense I decided to set some of it aside whip some heavy cream and powdered sugar into it. This enabled me to create a nice layer affect. It creates a beautiful presentation, and once you add whipped cream to the top, it all balances out nicely. With the hot weather we’ve been having, a nice cool dessert that doesn’t have to be baked or cooked long is just perfect. Enjoy!

Caramel Gluten Free Cheesecake with Almond Graham Crust

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. However, I’ve been getting a bit more creative as you can just make so many of the same old gluten free cheesecake recipes before you get bored with them. I’m always looking for something different and ran across a Caramel Cheesecake Recipe on the BBC’s website. Though all of the ingredients were listed by weight since the BBC is in Europe, I weighed all of the ingredients and converted into cups for you and made a little change. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Continue reading “Caramel Gluten Free Cheesecake with Almond Graham Crust”

Creme Fraiche Substitute (Naturally Gluten Free)

Creme fraiche, pronounced “crem fresh,” meaning “fresh cream,” is a soured cream containing 30-45% butter fat. To provide you with a comparison, heavy whipping cream  contains at least 36% butterfat. It is predominently used in France, but is finally manufactured in the United States (U.S.). It is found in specialty stores, however, it is still very difficult to find in the U.S. I have seen a few recipes online for a creme fraiche substitute, but you have to wait overnight or several hours for it to sour using buttermilk or yogurt, but I do not feel good about leaving dairy out overnight.

Easy Gluten Free Caramel Fudge Recipe (Corn-Free)

This is a very old fashioned caramel fudge recipe that has been passed around a lot, but I have made it much easier to make. If you’ve ever made it and run into problems with the sugar clumping as in this example or worse completely hardening where you couldn’t even stir it anymore, then this recipe is for you. Who can’t resist a shortcut, especially if it will prevent the wasting of ingredients, and the time of having to start over? Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free Caramel Fudge Recipe (Corn-Free)”

Strawberry Rhubarb Dessert Soup (Naturally Gluten Free)

Decades ago, rhubarb was considered a vegetable. It actually is, but in 1947 it was reclassified as a fruit because that’s what people used it as. No matter the classification, rhubarb complements desserts well as its tartness balances out sweet flavors. This strawberry rhubarb dessert not only makes for a cooling summer treat, but a healthy one. Rhubarb contains Vitamin C, A and potassium. Potassium is a great way to fight the summer’s heat. It definitely adds a splash of color to the table and it’s fairly easy to make. I like it because it’s naturally gluten free. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Cake Pops for Weddings and Other Special Events

The old fashion “June Bride” doesn’t exist anymore. Typically, wedding bells are heard from April through October. One of the latest trends is to serve gourmet cake pops instead of wedding cake. They also make an excellent grooms cake. I went to one wedding wear they gave out individual boxed groom cakes as an additional favor. You could something like this withe gluten free cake pops and decorate them more masculine, if desired. Meanwhile, my feminine side got the best of me, and I opted for pink cake pops.

Gluten Free Blueberry Pie

Today is National Blueberry Pie Day! What better way to celebrate it than with a gluten free blueberry pie? You will find the link below to my gluten free double pie crust, which is pretty easy to handle compared to most gluten free pie dough. This makes transferring the crusts a breeze, especially in a double pie crust. If you’re pretty new to pie baking, consider  cutting out shapes and placing it on top, like in this Gluten Free Cherry Pie. I think I’d use smaller stars next time, though. Meanwhile, I hope you get to enjoy some of this delicious blueberry pie, as it is made with fresh blueberries. If you don’t have the time for fresh, use Comstock or Wilderness brand pie fillings. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Blueberry Pie”

Soft Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you looking for soft gluten free chocolate chip cookies, you’ve come to the right place. If you prefer firm cookies check out my previous Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies made with a bit of almond flour. While this recipe is delicious, I favor the almond flavor a bit more. If you have access to superfine rice flour, I highly recommend using it over regular rice flour, as the regular is quite gritty. See the tip section to prevent a bit of this gritty flavor. Meanwhile, enjoy! Continue reading “Soft Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies”
