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.

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!

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.

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

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
