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!

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.

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.

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

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
