    Celiac.com 08/05/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain brands and products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about Jello brand products. Lately, we've seen a lot of questions about Jello No Bake Cheesecake. Specifically, is Jello No Bake Cheesecake gluten-free?

    The short answer is that the Jello No Bake Cheesecake mix contains no gluten ingredients, but only if you avoid the graham cracker crust mix. The longer answer is that Jello No Bake Cheesecake is labeled gluten-free on the company website

    Ingredients and formulations can change, so be sure to read labels and avoid any gluten ingredients.

    I would not ever, in any way, call that cheesecake.   If you're going to make cheesecake, do it right.  Just replace the typical crust with gluten-free ingredients... and be sure to bake (and cool in the oven) with a pan of water.

    It's not on nearly every store shelf in the USA for nothing...yes, it's probably the most popular cheesecake mix in the USA.

    I'm with you on this one, JMinNC!   The gluten-free food sector is mostly just junk-food, which further contributes to the obesity of us Americans.  It would be nice to have more gluten-free food that's more akin to ready-to-make "mains". But instead, it's almost all chips/crackers, bread-type products and sweets.  And every time someone really does come out with a stellar semi-healthy product, it's gone within a year or so. 

    But back to the original comment, I would wager that most Americans have probably never even had a proper baked cheesecake.

    😂Correctly stated...just look at the number of chemicals alone.  Disodium Phosphate causes major league diarrhea as does cellulose gums.  Your emoji is a perfect statement in and of itself.

    You dont need a crust to bake cheesecake. Make the batter, pour into lightly greased springform pan, bake in a water bath and voila!  I've done it several times and it turns out great

    Sure, you don't "need" it. But the texture variation is what makes cheesecake so enjoyable.  My favorite cheesecake ever... was a baked Italian torta di ricotta--super-dense, small-curd ricotta cheese somehow baked into 4" deep pan with a 1" pie-style crust... and a caramelized "skin" over the surface of the top.  I didn't understand the process then (1997) and I certainly don't now.  I've never been able to find a recipe for it.  So I don't know how to adapt it to gluten-free. 

    But rest assured, it's the complete opposite of a Jell-o no-bake! 

    Foodies are the sort that if we can't do it right, then we'd rather not waste the time doing it at all.  It must be rich, dense and offer varying textures.  A proper slice should be no more than an inch or two wide.

    Celiac.com 06/25/2020 - Jell-O Pudding and Jell-O Instant Pudding are manufactured by Kraft Foods, and while Kraft does not specifically label Jell-O pudding products as gluten-free, nearly all of them are made without gluten ingredients, and so we regard them as gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease.
    Officially, Celiac.com puts Jell-O Pudding and Jell-O Instant Pudding in the Gluten-Safe category. Gluten-Safe products are products that do not contain gluten ingredients, and for which we have not received any credible complaints of gluten-contamination. While not officially labeled "Gluten-Free," Gluten-Safe products are very unlikely to contain gluten, and are likely safe for people with celiac disease on a gluten-free diet. We consider gluten-safe products to be...
