Rather try and find gluten free graham crackers to make the crust, this recipe includes a one step graham cracker crust, similar to making a large graham cracker, but softer (extra butter). So yummy!

This gluten free parfait is perfect for the holidays with its golden caramel color. Use your favorite gluten free brownie recipe or the one linked below. Because so many premade caramel sauces contain gluten, making the Dolche Leche (rich caramel sauce) is the perfect way to go for those on a gluten free diet. The baked apple slices compliment the ingredients perfectly, in color and flavor. The best part about this dessert is that most of the ingredients may be made in advanced. Enjoy, and happy holidays to all! Continue reading “Gluten Free Parfait: Brownie Caramel Apple”

I was honored with the task of developing a recipe for the KitchenAid 6-Quart Slow Cooker with Easy Serve Lid. The baker in me said it had to be a gluten-free baked good. With holiday season upon us I decided on a gluten free bread pudding, as it is a very versatile recipe. However, I baked the gluten free breadenter called for in this recipe in the slow cooker, as well. It rises and bakes right in the slow cooker, without any help from you. Just set it in, cover and bake, all in one step! How convenient is that? Continue reading “Crème Brûlée Gluten Free Bread Pudding in a Slow Cooker”

It’s not only trick or treat time for the kids, but us adults desire treats, as well. Imagine sweetened cream cheese, pumpkin, and graham crackers. What do you get? Pumpkin cheesecake! Then wrap them in chocolate and you get heaven in ball! Alternatively, instead of using ground gluten free graham crackers you can ground chocolate cookies. You can make these pumpkin cheesecake chocolates elegant by topping with candy pearls, drops of colored chocolate or another variety of chocolate, or dip the tops in a second color of chocolate. For the kids you can make them colorful by adding sprinkles, jimmies, etc. Or do a combination of both. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Filled Chocolates”

When I make cupcakes I prefer to use natural frosting rather than artificial food coloring, though when I do use coloring, I use Select Tea’s natural food coloring for non-baked/heated food. In the gluten free Halloween cupcakes pictured, decorations were used for color, which can be used year after year. I’ve listed several links to different cupcake and cake recipe, along with frosting choices. Enjoy and be creative!
