I'm not at home right now so if you can wait I have a wonderful recipe for cheese cake. Virtually all cheesecakes recipes are gluten-free other then the crust. And the good thing about cheesecake is it sets up so you don't need a crust.

I've also made a crust out of gluten-free cookies.

I don't have a recipe. However, I recently bought a cheese cake from Mr. Ritt's bakery. It was absolutely delicious. Their products can be ordered and then shipped. I'm relatively close and the 80-mile round trip was well worth it. I can guarantee that you cannot tell the cheese cake is gluten-free.

BTW, the bakery is totally gluten-free.

P.S. This is not an advertisement and I am not related in anyway to the company. I am just a celiac with a sweet tooth.

This recipe is great. Junior's was my favorite cheesecake pre-gluten free. Instead of making the spongecake bottom, I took Midel gluten-free ginger snaps, some pecans and melted a little butter. I used that for a crust/bottom instead.

YES! I made the best lemon cheesecake...it's from the book "The Gluten Free Bible" and I ate the whole thing by myself in less than a week! I'll post it up here if you want.

I don't have a specific recipie but you can subsitute the gluten-free biscuits for gluten-free cornflakes. It would make a nice change.

Sorry this isn't more specific but a week or so ago there was a post on this board about making a crust out of coconut (maybe adding an egg). That would probably work fine as a cheesecake crust. I haven't tried it as I'm alse dealing with diabetic and weight-loss issues.

just today I found great recipes on pamelasproducts.com including some for cheesecake...haven't tried them, but I'm gonna :)

When I could eat all that yummy stuff (I now have other "issues"), I would just modify any 'normal' cheesecake recipes...I was more likely to do that than to follow a "special" gluten free recipe. Sometimes I would get it from Better Homes and Garden Cookbook, sometimes from the Kraft/Philly cream cheese webpage, etc.

Instead of a graham cracker crumb crust, substitute gluten-free cookies, crumbled up (I would use some of Pamela's gluten-free cookies). Or, I think they make gluten-free graham crackers that you could crush. Then, follow normal instructions.

Many (if not most) "insides" of the cheesecake are naturally gluten free. Some call for a small amount of flour--a tablespoon or two....I would just use my flour blend. If it calls for flavoring, make sure you use a safe one (like McCormick's vanilla).

Hope that helps-I really use my "normal" cookbooks more than my "gluten free" cookbooks. It was much easier for me to just modify things that had easy changes.

Hope this helps---enjoy!

I have been reading this board for a long time but have never posted because my questions are always answered when I search and I never felt I had anything to contribute. Finally, I have something!!

Here is my Grandfather's Italian Cheese Cake recipe. It has no gluten, and is AWSOME if you like an "authentic" cheese cake.

3 1lbs Ricotta

6 eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tbs vanilla

pinch salt

3 tbs cornstarch

grated orange and lemon

mix ingredients and put into a springform pan

Bake at 400 degrees for 1/2 hour

then at 325 degrees for 1/2 hour or until nice and golden

**leave in the oven to cool then put in fridge

I remember this from when I was little, I actually did not like it until I got older, but now I LOVE it!!! Only make it on special occasions because I will eat the whole thing!! LISA

This is probably the cheating way out for cheesecake but Kraft just came out with cheesecake filling in the dairy section.... I'm sure it would be like the no bake cheesecake & not the real deal cheesecake. I love the real thing.

Lisa - THANK YOU for your Grandfather's Italian Cheese Cake recipe!! My daughter recently celebrated her 12th birthday & decided she wanted cheesecake instead of regular cake. Of her best friends, one is on a gluten free diet and one is allergic to nuts, so I was thrilled to find your recipe which had no crust at all! Luckily no one in her group of friends has any dairy issues :)

We tried it out - but I put the batter into two round cake pans, since I didn't know if the 10 cups I ended up with would fit into one springform pan!! The cheesecakes did shrink down after cooling, so I wonder if I worried for nothing? I also wondered - having never had a ricotta cheesecake before - is there something I should have done to make a creamier texture? It wasn't unpleasant, just different from what I have had before.

Again, thanks for the recipe - I think we've found a new family favorite!

Here's a reicpe for a fluffy one that I just got off the cool-whip container--it looks super-simple.

gluten-free Fluffy Cheesecake

1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup sugar

3 cups Cool Whip, thawed

Beat cream cheese and sugar on high til smooth

Gently stir in Cool Whip.

Spoon into crust.

Refrigerate until set (3 hours).

Options:

1) Cover with cherry pie filling.

2) Beat in 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce with cream cheese.

3) Increase sugar to ½ cup and beat in 1 cup canned pumpkin and ½ tsp pumpkin pie

spice with cream cheese.

4) Spoon ½ cream cheese mixture in crust, top with ½ cup caramel sauce and ¼ cup

toasted chopped pecans. Add remaining cream cheese mixture, refrigerate, and add

more nuts and sauce.

I bought this the day I saw it hit the shelves... It's NOT great. My husband, a cheesecake fanatic, couldn't even choke down one little dish. Perhaps we're just picky, but it didn't live up to our standards in the slightest. We threw the whole thing away. I'm hoping someone else will have an opinion on it. Please don't take this post as a slam, just wanted to offer up my opinion on a product.

We didnt mind the Philly cheesecake in a tub. It wasnt by far the real thing.. too fluffy and such.. but for a quick sub we didnt mind it. I am not a cheesecake aficionado though. It was good for a quick treat, straight from the tub.. but I wouldnt use it to make a real cheesecake... that is better off from scratch.

Guest ~jules~

Its good to know we can make cheesecake. To be denied cheesecake is just "wrong" if you ask me....

Hi Liz: I am glad that you and your daughter enjoyed it!! I do not think there is a way to make it "creamier" according to my italian family, that is how a "real cheesecake" is supposed to taste. (I like the kind made with cream cheese too, so I don't mean to sound like I'm knocking it!!) I am making it next week to bring to a get together with some friends. It is so nice to be able to enjoy desert with everyone else!!!! I offered to bring it so I knew I would be able to have dessert with my coffee!! LISA

      So after  a long time in which I got my zinc and folic acid levels back on track I will now start with taking Thiamine to see if that does anything. According to my blood levels I'm not low on Thiamine but, if I understand correctly, blood works are not the best way to find out if there is a Thiamine shortage. How much Thiamine should I take to start with? 100 mg?

      I'm in the "never reveal your plans to the enemy" camp on this one--it's none of their business if you're looking for another job, so I would leave that out of any conversation. Also, retaliation can be common with some employers, especially if you bring up the ADA and claim a disability because of celiac disease. I was a corporate paralegal for 5 years and handled employment claims against some major USA companies, and I've seen it all--even by huge companies that contract with the government and should know better. I say keep your cards close to your vest, wear an N95 mask if you handle wheat flour, and quietly look for another job if you feel you can't continue there.  Oh, and when I say "enemy," I mean that unscrupulous managers may quickly become your enemy, even if the law is on your side, and they could find trivial reasons to give you the 3 quick warnings that may be necessary to fire you. Very few lawyers would take such a case on a contingency basis, so unless you have a stockpile of money, you'd have no recourse.

      @ohmichael doesn't have an official diagnosis of celiac disease yet. That would need to happen if he were to pursue a disability claim.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. According to this article your two positive DGP-IgA tests mean:

      This is so very interesting I love all this information, knowledge is so very important for us to help ourselves heal, I have been so wrapped up with my dogs nutrition after vets told me she needed a operation, which turns out I can help with this for her  myself also , I may have been missing the tap on the shoulder to say integration into your own health is needed here too , although I have been aware I must admit myself has been on the back burner at times , I also have a granddaughter with nut allergy I researched for that , this is now screaming at me to turn inward to myself also , and deal with my invisible struggles I also am carrying, thankyou for all the information keep it coming , my ears and eyes are fully open 🙏
