Favorite Dessert This week: Cheesecake!

Jun 30
Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Baking, Gluten Free Desserts, Special Events

In an instant of sheer brilliance, we purchased a frozen cheesecake for our daughter’s 9th birthday party.  It didn’t occur to me before this, that the cake might actually be gluten free! Come to think of it, my favorite cheesecake is nothing more than eggs, sugar, and cream cheese!  So, yeah, in its truest sense, it IS gluten free!

Is that not the best news ever?!?

Yes, there is a slight chance that you already knew that.  But how can I keep news like this to myself??
Here’s the one that always works for me – the classic cream cheese cake – from the Philadelphia Cream Cheese package:

  • 3 bricks (250g) of cream cheese, softened
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  1. Preheat oven to 325, spray/coat 9″ springform pan
  2. combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until well blended.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, just until blended.
  4. Pour into prepared pan.
  5. Cook for 45 – 50 minutes until center is just about set.
  6. Cool, remove rim, refrigerate for four hours until set.

As long as you don’t contaminate your cheesecake with a dirty springform pan, you have a perfectly delicious and gluten free cake!

Dream Jello “salad”

May 17
Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Desserts, Gluten Free Side dishes

I just love that these jello moulds are called salad – it is a perfect accompaniment to the burgers and hot dogs that will be barbecued soon. Of course we all know that it IS dessert. ;)

Ingredients:

  • 2 pkg raspberry jello (the small 4oz ones)
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 can strawberry / raspberry pie filling

Topping:

  • 8oz cream cheese
  • 1 tub cool whip (The Kraft brand of this “edible oil byproduct” IS gluten free in Canada) It probably is horrible for your body – but tastes like heaven!
  • 1 can crushed pineapple, well drained

Directions:

  1. Dissolve the jello in the hot water. Completely.
  2. Mix all the jello ingredients, and pour into 9X13 pan. Chill until firm (several hours)
  3. Blend topping ingredients, spread over jello.
  4. This can be served right away, or kept refrigerated until needed.
