Gluten Free Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake Bars

Do you need to feed a crowd where the typical size cheesecake just isn’t enough? This gluten free cheesecake is made in a 13 x 9-inch dish and cuts up into bars quite nicely. Rather than having to make homemade gluten free graham crackers, you make and pre-bake the crust all in one step. Use strawberry jam or make homemade agave jam (recipe linked below). Either way, it’s a special treat, even gluten-eaters enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake Bars”

Triple Chocolate Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake & Crust

This is the best dessert I could possibly think of serving on Thanksgiving out of all of my gluten free dessert recipes. It not only fits in perfectly with the holiday, but it contains tons of chocolate. The filling contains white chocolate, cream cheese, and pumpkin puree. The crust of this gluten free pumpkin cheesecake is is made of chocolate cookies and is covered with a thin layer of pumpkin chocolate ganache. I took a shortcut by using Pamela’s Products mini chocolate cookies for the crust. They really are ideal. This recipe has received rave reviews, even by gluten-eaters. Enjoy the recipe as well as your Thanksgiving. Continue reading “Triple Chocolate Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake & Crust”

It is extremely important to use a moist cake recipe when making gluten free cake pops. They turn out much smoother. You can use these cake pops for Thanksgiving as a decoration or as a dessert. In addition, they would make a lovely hostess gift. There’s nothing like bringing something you can actually eat to a dinner party. Acorns are synonymous with fall so I chose to make them this shape versus balls. I think they turned out adorable. I was very pleased. You can use gluten free candy or chopped nuts for he tops. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Cake Pops for Thanksgiving: Chocolate Acorns”

Baked Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

These gluten free chicken nuggets are fast and easy to make. The great thing about them is that you bake them instead of deep-frying. This makes a healthier gluten-free dinner. Use the recipe for homemade seasoned bread crumbs, or add dried herbs and/or parmesan cheese to commercial gluten free bread crumbs. You can even grind up gluten-free cereal or crackers to substitute for the bread crumbs. No matter what sauce you dip them in, they are delicious, even plain!

Gluten Free Checkerboard Cake Recipe

My new gluten free yellow butter cake recipe is perfect for this gluten free checkerboard cake. You don’t want to use a thin batter in a checkerboard cake because when you remove the divider ring the batters will run into one another. Yes. You need a special ring for this recipe. I have linked to the Wilton’s Checkerboard Cake Pan Set in the ingredients list. It is so fun to make this cake. Don’t feel intimidated as it is not complicated at all. It turned out very moist and delicious. You may skip the chocolate and add another flavored extract or food coloring to the other half of the batter. You can make it to fit any holiday color scheme. Be creative and enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Checkerboard Cake Recipe”

Gluten Free Yellow Butter Cake

Gluten Free Cake with Dairy Free Whipped Cream

I already have a Gluten Free Yellow Cake Recipe on this site, but it calls for my Self-Rising Gluten Free Cake Flour Blend. Since creating that recipe over two years ago, I find that my Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend Recipe works much better in gluten free cake recipes, provided you add a bit more oil or butter compared to gluten cakes. This yellow cake recipe is much richer than a normal yellow cake. It contains tons of butter, is moist, but is not heavy like pound cakes. Use it as a substitute for any gluten free yellow cake. Feel free to decrease the butter to make a more traditional yellow cake. Meanwhile, all of your gluten-eating friends will even enjoy this cake.

Vegan Pumpkin Ice Cream

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!

Thomas Keller is a cookbook Author, chef, and owner of the world renowned restaurant, The French Laundry in Yountville, California, where you have to wait months for a reservation. One of his restaurant chefs, Lena Kwak, had created a gluten free cup for cup flour blend that she used in the restaurant. After one of their gluten free guests cried after tasting Lena’s brioche, and having not had bread for over 10 years, Lena knew that she had to share her talents with the world.
