Gluten Free Christmas Desserts!!
In my previous post I mentioned how gluten free baking has come a long way. Because of that, you can take almost any recipe, make a couple simple swaps and voila! It’s now gluten free. I wanted to show you how easy it can be. With Christmas right around the corner, I’m sure you’re looking for some gluten free Christmas desserts. I found some that look so good and so easy to make gluten free.
As I mentioned in my last post, when you’re doing gluten free baking, it’s important to use a good quality cup for cup gluten free flour blend. It really does matter!!
Take this cheesecake for instance. A couple simple swaps and it’s gluten free. You’ll need a gluten free flour blend and gluten free graham crackers. Or, you could use a premade gluten free graham cracker crust.
For this one, just replace the saltines with a gluten free table cracker. I like the Schar Gluten Free Table Crackers.

Once again, with this one you just need to replace the flour with a good quality gluten free flour blend.
