This is more of a sherbet than a vegan pumpkin ice cream, but is still extremely delicious for a diary free version. Since its development, I have discovered that adding one teaspoon of xanthan gum added to ice cream creates a more chewy texture. In this recipe you would need to mix about 1/2 teaspoon of gum with the oil. Note, that this is not a new recipe, but the original, published in 2010, seems to have vanished from this site. Enjoy!

Super Crunchy Gluten Free Bread Sticks Recipe (Breadsticks)
This crunchy gluten free bread sticks recipe is so crunchy, I just had to share it with you. The recipe was inspired by the ingredients in Schar’s Gluten Free Breadsticks. They are much harder and crispier than Schar’s, but in gluten free bread sticks, this is a good thing. Other names for these bread sticks are grissini (thin, crisp Italian breadsticks) or dipping sticks. See my below notes to learn more. Then try them yourself.

Gluten Free Calzone Recipe
The trouble most people run into when developing a gluten free calzone recipe is the lack of starch in the flour blend. Though this one is high in starch, it surely makes it easy to fold and handle the dough. You can fill it with your desire fillings. I have included several suggestions below. Don’t overdo your carb consumption. Tapioca flour is loaded with carbs. Remember, everything in moderation. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Calzone Recipe”
Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Dairy-Free Chocolate Recipe
Sugar-free chocolate can be expensive, and if you have to find a safe gluten-free brand on top it, it can be even more difficult. With this gluten-free sugar-free chocolate recipe, you can make dark chocolate or chocolate ganache. If you are also on a dairy-free diet, you can still make both. For dairy-free ganache, instead of using heavy whipping cream, you use coconut milk. For the fat in this recipe, you have the option of using shortening (I use organic palm shortening) or coconut oil. Depending upon its use and your dietary needs will determine which ingredients you use. This recipe is low in carbs when not using cream. I hope you enjoy this recipe. It has many uses. You can even break it up to use as chocolate chips in your baked recipes.

Gluten Free Pear Crumble
You can make this gluten free pear crumble recipe much easier by using canned pears. However, fresh pears are full of vitamins and minerals. No matter what flour blend you use, it should out about the same because the recipe calls for very little flour. Note, though, tapioca browns easier, but is chewy, and cornstarch has high crisping qualities, and potato starch with just a little less. I have also provided some holiday garnish suggestions. This recipe can be made allergen-free if you skip the nuts. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pear Crumble”
Crusty Multi-Grain Gluten Free Boule (Egg Free)
This gluten free boule has taken me four attempts to create. It is very tasty, has a hard, crunchy crust, and a wonderful texture. During my previous experiment, I only used 1/2 teaspoon of yeast and allowed the dough to rest for about 18 hours. It gave it a bit of sourdough flavor. You can experiment with this yourself. Meanwhile, enjoy this crusty gluten free boule. It tastes so good just with butter. I can’t wait to use it for spinach dip during the holidays and smaller versions for soups and chili.
