I don't really measure when I bake, and I am leary by anything from Tofutti (non-dairy cream cheese), so I tend to just stick to tofu. That would, no doubt, make it more cream cheesey, but I like this anyway. This is the basic recipe - change it however you can! (I like carob raspberry).

1 block of silken tofu (I use a container of Mori-Nu), drained.

about 1/2 cup of soymilk

1/2 c. sucanat

1/4 c. honey or maple syrup

vanilla extract

Put in crust and bake at 350 until set. I don't recall how long... I'm sorry! Maybe about 20 minutes? I'll keep looking for where I jotted it down.

What is sucanat? I have not heard of that before. But this looks great.

I know tofutti does say that they can't guarantee their cream cheese but I have had no problems in the past with it but things could change.

You can always do a tofu / cream cheese mix.

Sucanat is pure, unfiltered sugar. If you are okay with regular sugar, it will work fine !

Is silken tofu gluten-free? I thought it wasn't...

Thanks for the recipe!

The unflavored varieties of tofu is usually fine and I know silken is okay, Now flavored ones you need to read, I read everything anyways to be sure.

I read labels like I have been doing it all my life.

I use Mori-Nu because whenever I got tofu in a non-aspectic package, I felt ill... Then I read that those are bacteria traps. So Mori-Nu all the way!

I have a no-bake cheesecake sometimes referred to as the crack-cocaine of cheesecake. It has Philly cream cheese, dream whip, icing sugar and pie filling/fruit for the topping. It goes on a gluten-free graham cracker crumb crust.

Any takers?

Cheesecake

Crust

1/3 cup butter

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs (I've never found these in the store. I use the Bette Hagman recipe but with less cinnamon than she calls for)

Middle

250g (8oz) cream cheese

1 cup icing sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 pkg dream whip, prepared

Top

1 can cherry pie filling

Mix together melted butter, graham crackers and sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Beat together cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla. Add the prepared Dream Whip and beat until well mixed and smooth. Spread on top the graham cracker mixture. Spread a can of cherry pie filling on top of that. Chill and serve.

I hope this can be made dairy-free for those of you with dairy problems, but I don't know how to do that. Cream cheese must be dairy...how could you replace it?

I really like the recipes from Philadelphia cream cheese. Their 3 step cheesecake is awesome. I used to make it in an oreo crust with cherries on top. Yum! I haven't made one since going gluten-free. I was thinking about trying a crushed nut crust.

1/2tsp. Vanilla

2 eggs

1 crust 9"

Mix cream cheese, sugar & vanilla with electric mixer at med. Speed until well blended.

Add eggs. Mix until blended.

Pour into crust.

Bake at 350* 40 min. Or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hrs. Or overnight.

Flavour variations

Cherry

Top chilled baked cheesecake with 1 can(19oz.) cherry pie filling.

Chocolate chip

Stir 1/2 cup baker's semi-sweet choc chips into batter.

Sprinkle with additional 1/4cup chips before baking.

Lemon

Stir 1 tbsp. Fresh lemon juice & 1/2tsp. Grated lemon peel into batter

Makes 8 servings

I found the recipe for Junior's Cheesecake online and used that. Instead of their spongecake bottom I ground up gluten-free ginger snap cookies, pecans and mixed with egg and just smooshed that on the bottom of the pan for a crust.

Technically, it's a recipe for graham crackers. I let them dry out a bit and then chop 'em up in the food processor. I've discovered two cheesecakes later to use less butter in the crumb crust that needs butter/crumbs/sugar mixed up. The recipe is in the Bette Hagman Bakes Bread cookbook, and I believe the Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids cookbook has a recipe as well. I haven't tried that one.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article
