Gluten Free Lava Cake – Molten Lava Cake

Image: Gluten Free Lava Cake

Lava cake is the perfect dessert for 2, especially on Valentine’s Day! It is known by several other names: chocolate lava cake, molten chocolate cake, fondant, chocolate fondant, fondant pudding, chocolate coulant, coulant au chocolat, and chocolate moelleux. This gluten free lava cake is made no differently than its gluten cousin. You only need to ensure that you use gluten free chocolate. For best results use dark or bittersweet chocolate. The best way to melt chocolate is to use real chocolate, versus chocolate chips. My favorite is Scharffen Berger Bittersweet 70% cocoa, the thick 9.7 oz. bar. It’s gluten free. When dusting the ramekins with flour and cocoa, be sure to also use a gluten free “pure” cocoa powder. I like using Rodelle’s Dutch processed cocoa, as it is less bitter than regular unsweetened cooca powder, and darker in color. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this decadent recipe. Perhaps you can make it tonight. It’s fairly easy, and you may just have all of the ingredients on hand. Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! Continue reading “Gluten Free Lava Cake – Molten Lava Cake”

I don’t know about you, but I have been consuming way too much rice lately…rice pasta, rice flour in baked goods, rice as side dishes, and more. I thought you would appreciate more gluten free potato sides dishes, and this easy potato salad recipe is so fast to make if you use a microwave. This recipe is especially great to make for one individual or multiply to feed a crowd. If you desire, you can make this recipe much richer by substituting mayonnaise or sour cream for the olive oil. They’re all delicious! Continue reading “Easy Potato Salad with Dill (Naturally Gluten Free)”

Duchess Potatoes (Naturally Gluten Free)

Duchess potatoes, also known as duchesse potatoes, are a French dish, pommes de terre duchesse, consisting of seasoned mashed potatoes, made stiffer than traditional mashed potatoes, with the addition of egg, in this case, egg yolks. They are piped using a piping bag or device, and browned just enough to accent the design. Most recipes call for heavy whipping cream, however, my recipe below is a lower-fat version, and may be made dairy-free. Now you’re the duchess. Enjoy Continue reading “Duchess Potatoes (Naturally Gluten Free)”

Egg Yolk Substitute

For my egg-free allergic friends, as well as the dairy-intolerant, I tried quite a few versions of vegan egg yolk substitute recipes today, none of which tasted like egg yolk to me. So, I gotta thinkin’…”What does egg yolk taste like?” I had some in the frig, and dipped my finger in it. It tastes like melted butter with a little salt. That was the easy part. I knew a little shortening and salt would create the flavor, but how was I going to make the right color. Well, adding some carrot juice (I just pureed some carrots with a little water in my small food processor, and strained it to make my own juice), makes it orange, but how was I going to make it yellow. Continue reading “Egg Yolk Substitute”

Gluten Free Apple Crisp

Whether you live in the U.S. and call this dish apple crisp or in the U.K or Australia and call it apple crumble, they all taste the same. The use of rice flour makes this gluten free apple crisp, actually crisp on top. Adjust the juices to your liking by using lemon or apple juice. Or kick it up a notch with rum; or when all else fails, plain old water works. You’ll find many apple crisp recipes that call for tart apples, however, this one calls for red apples. You will want to use sweet crisp apples such as Braeburn, Empire, or Gala, however, good old Red Delicious will do. Just make sure they’re firm. They don’t hold up as well as the other varieties. On the other hand, I enjoy soft, cooked apples. How about you? Continue reading “Gluten Free Apple Crisp”

Cheesy Gluten Free Polenta

Being half Italian, once in awhile I just get a craving for polenta. This creamy, cheesy, gluten free polenta recipe was a welcome change compared to the plain creamy polenta I usually make. You can spice it up with fresh garlic or powdered; use milk, or a dash of whipping cream; anything your heart desires. Two different kinds of cheese work best, but you do not need to stick with the Parmesan and cheddar listed below. Dive in and experiment with your favorite ingredients!
