Mounds Bars Cheesecake

One of my co-workers was talking about this to die for cheesecake, made out of Mounds Bars. I am searching for some holiday recipes, so I did a google search for this. It only required one modification and tasted so good. The crust was a crumbly, so I will probably use 8 T. of butter next time.

It also makes a HUGE cheesecake, so you can easily half the recipe to use in a regular pie pan.

Crust:

2 cups Gluten Free Graham Crackers

1 1/2 cups coconut

6 tablespoons butter, melted

Mix and pat into bottom and sides of springform pan.

Filling:

2 pounds cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

5 jumbo eggs, at room temperature

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon coconut extract

1/2 cup coconut

1 cup almonds, coarsely chopped

Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat again. Add eggs one at a time; beating after each. Add cream, cornstarch and extract. Mix well. Stir in coconut and almonds. Pour into springform pan. Bake at 425F for 15 minutes with a pan of water on the bottom rack of oven. Reduce temperature to 300F and bake 1 hour longer. Run knife around edge of cake. Cool. Top with melted chocolate and whole almonds.

I also added coconut to the melted chocolate. My tummy still hurts from all the richness of it! :wacko:

I live in the N. Texas area and there is a Gluten free bakery close by. She makes the best Gluten Free graham crackers and that is what I used. You could also sub with Gluten free vanilla wafers or gluten-free chocolate wafer cookies. I have seen the recipe with both.

It is really, really good if you like coconut. My husband wants everything with coconut and coconut flour, so it was a huge hit at my house.

Of course, no calories-they all go out when you beat it :lol:

It is owned and run by a lady here locally. I support her every chance I get-cause I don't want her to go away :lol: She is really an outstanding baker. Her entire resturant and store is Gluten Free. She will also modify to just about anything free you need-dairy, soy, etc. My staff is actually getting me a gluten free cake from there tomorrow, it's my last day at this job.

I hope it works out for you. Let me know.

Thanks for the information on the bakery, I love that the crackers are dairy free and egg free also. You are so lucky to have a restaurant and bakery that close to you!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Tazfromoz · Posted

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Celiac Screening

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      By Churro · Posted

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
