    Celiac.com 04/29/2017 - Spring is cherry blossom season, which means that actual cherries are still far enough off that we'll have to leave their deliciousness ahead, and turn to their canned cousins for this recipe. Turns out, that's not a bad thing. Canned cherries make a tasty cornerstone to this super quick, super-easy no-bake cheesecake. Enjoy!

    Ingredients:

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     1½ cups fresh ground almond meal 
    ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
    ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 
    ⅓ cup butter, melted
    2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese 
    1 pint heavy whipping cream
    1 tablespoon lemon juice 
    ⅓ cup white sugar
    Canned cherries, for topping, as desired

    Directions:
    In a small bowl, stir together the almond meal, brown sugar and cinnamon.

    Add melted butter and mix well.

    Press into the bottom of an 8 or 10 inch springform pan.

    Chill until firm.

    In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and lemon juice until soft.

    Add whipping cream and beat with an electric mixer until batter becomes thick.

    Add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff.

    Pour into chilled crust, and top with pie filling.

    Chill several hours or overnight.

    Just before serving, remove the sides of the springform pan.

    Top with cherries and serve chilled to people you really like.

    What is the “pie filling” that is referred to in the instructions but not ingredient list?

    It looks like it is in this part:

    In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and lemon juice until soft.

    Add whipping cream and beat with an electric mixer until batter becomes thick.

    Add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff.

    Pour into chilled crust, and top with pie filling.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Skinesa

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      Feeling ill

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...
