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

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies. I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved. Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. ...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure! Thank you kitty kitty   I am going to look this diet up right away.  And read the paleo diet and really see if I can make this a better situation then it currently is.
