I searched my recipe box first and couldn't find my copy of the chocolate eclair dessert recipe that I used to have. Good old internet, what would we do without it! Is this what you mean? Or are you thinking more along the lines of a boston cream pie(which is really a cake)?

YES! I want to make one! No baking in the heat...good for the summer. Go to recipezaar #55847. All you would need to do is sub those graham crackers for gluten-free cookies, homemade or bought like Pam's. Or make your own crackers. I saw a recipe gluten-free somewhere the other day, maybe someone knows where.

There are soy puddings out there. Haven't tried them yet. And I think there are some cool whips that are CF. Have to check the labels. I tried to make Jello instant pudding with soy milk twice and it never set up. :angry:

Looks yummy!!

I was thinking that too.

Ok here goes:

From the cookbook "Life Tastes Good Again" by Kirsti Kirkland and Betsy Thomas (see website eatingglutenfree.com)

Eclair Cake

Base:

1/2 c water

1/4 c butter (not margarine)

2 eggs

1/2 c featherlight mix

Filling:

1 pkg of instant pudding (i always used chocolate or devil food cake)

1 1/4 c milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

8 oz cool whip

Topping: (i felt like the topping was too much work, so i usually just melted the chocolate chips and butter, and drizzled that on top)

1/4 c semisweet chocolate chips

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 c powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine water and butter in a med saucepan and bring to a boil. Add featherlight mix, stirring until dough forms a ball. Remove from heat, pour into a med bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with an electric mixer after each. Pile dough in a circle on a lightly greased cookie sheet (I also would sometimes make two circles with the dough, so the cake would look cuter).

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven, cool completely. Cake will be relatively flat, not puffy like a cream puff.

While cake is cooling, make filling and topping. For filling, combine pudding and milk. Mix well. Add vanilla and cool whip. Beat with hand mixer.

Make topping by melting chocolate, butter and milk in the microwave for 60 seconds, stirring after each 30 seconds. Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar. Put topping in a sandwich bag.

Carefully slice the cake ring into two semi-circles (unless you make 2 smaller circles). Spread filling on one semi-circle, and place the other on top.

With a toothpick, poke a hole in the bag containing the topping. Drizzle the topping over the cake.

(And this is where I personally would get frustrated, and just started drizzling butter and melted chocolate chips on top. Maybe I didn't have it hot enough, but mine just wouldn't drizzle....)

Refrigerate for at least 10-20 minutes before serving, in order to set the topping.

A delicious dessert. Topping is good, just hard (at least for me) to drizzle. Also, maybe I was always too impatient to let it get harder, but I had a hard time cutting it neatly. If I could eat dairy, I'd try throwing it in the freezer for half an hour, see if that helped solidify things.

Anyway, enjoy!

Hm, will have to look for a soy pudding next time I go to the store.

Recipes for puddings can be found in the book "Gluten Free Quick and Easy" by Carol Fenster. On p. 241 is a cooked choc. pudding. On p.242 is an instant vanilla pudding. She lists what milk subs to use that are best. Be sure to read all of both pages if anyone is interested. Both sound easy.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
