I searched my recipe box first and couldn't find my copy of the chocolate eclair dessert recipe that I used to have. Good old internet, what would we do without it! Is this what you mean? Or are you thinking more along the lines of a boston cream pie(which is really a cake)?

YES! I want to make one! No baking in the heat...good for the summer. Go to recipezaar #55847. All you would need to do is sub those graham crackers for gluten-free cookies, homemade or bought like Pam's. Or make your own crackers. I saw a recipe gluten-free somewhere the other day, maybe someone knows where.

There are soy puddings out there. Haven't tried them yet. And I think there are some cool whips that are CF. Have to check the labels. I tried to make Jello instant pudding with soy milk twice and it never set up. :angry:

I was thinking that too.

Ok here goes:

From the cookbook "Life Tastes Good Again" by Kirsti Kirkland and Betsy Thomas (see website eatingglutenfree.com)

Eclair Cake

Base:

1/2 c water

1/4 c butter (not margarine)

2 eggs

1/2 c featherlight mix

Filling:

1 pkg of instant pudding (i always used chocolate or devil food cake)

1 1/4 c milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

8 oz cool whip

Topping: (i felt like the topping was too much work, so i usually just melted the chocolate chips and butter, and drizzled that on top)

1/4 c semisweet chocolate chips

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 c powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine water and butter in a med saucepan and bring to a boil. Add featherlight mix, stirring until dough forms a ball. Remove from heat, pour into a med bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with an electric mixer after each. Pile dough in a circle on a lightly greased cookie sheet (I also would sometimes make two circles with the dough, so the cake would look cuter).

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven, cool completely. Cake will be relatively flat, not puffy like a cream puff.

While cake is cooling, make filling and topping. For filling, combine pudding and milk. Mix well. Add vanilla and cool whip. Beat with hand mixer.

Make topping by melting chocolate, butter and milk in the microwave for 60 seconds, stirring after each 30 seconds. Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar. Put topping in a sandwich bag.

Carefully slice the cake ring into two semi-circles (unless you make 2 smaller circles). Spread filling on one semi-circle, and place the other on top.

With a toothpick, poke a hole in the bag containing the topping. Drizzle the topping over the cake.

(And this is where I personally would get frustrated, and just started drizzling butter and melted chocolate chips on top. Maybe I didn't have it hot enough, but mine just wouldn't drizzle....)

Refrigerate for at least 10-20 minutes before serving, in order to set the topping.

A delicious dessert. Topping is good, just hard (at least for me) to drizzle. Also, maybe I was always too impatient to let it get harder, but I had a hard time cutting it neatly. If I could eat dairy, I'd try throwing it in the freezer for half an hour, see if that helped solidify things.

Anyway, enjoy!

Hm, will have to look for a soy pudding next time I go to the store.

Thanks for the recipe! YUM! You can find a vanilla soy pudding recipe at recipezaar #309782 and go to allrecipes dairy free chocolate pudding to find chocolate. I have not tried either one.

Recipes for puddings can be found in the book "Gluten Free Quick and Easy" by Carol Fenster. On p. 241 is a cooked choc. pudding. On p.242 is an instant vanilla pudding. She lists what milk subs to use that are best. Be sure to read all of both pages if anyone is interested. Both sound easy.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?

      Just wondering can anyone help me out.heading on holidays and don’t really know what expect.if I get glutened are there tablets that you can take
    • Braver101
      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.
