gluten-free/df Deserts

[Chrissyb]

I need your help I am looking for recipes for gluten-free/df deserts for Christmas. I made a Coconut Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving, the pumpkin part turned out good but the crust was one that was like a cookie crumb curst not so good. I also made a Peach Cobbler using Earth Balance and I think because of the water content in it that did come out so well either.

I am looking for some easy and not time comsuming since my MS is acting up and my fatigue is really bad, so any ideas would be most appreciated.

Thank you so much.

I made Cherry Jazz for Thanksgiving.

Start with two cans of cherry pie filling. Or any other kind of fruit pie filling, or if you prefer, you can use canned peaches or other fruit. Dump these in a 9" x 11" pan. Top with a package of Namaste (or any other gluten-free 2 layer cake mix) white cake mix. Drizzle over the top, 1 cup of melted coconut oil. I mixed in a few drops of artificial butter flavoring. You don't want to really mix this up, but you also don't want vast areas of powder, so you may have to use a spoon and lightly spread out the oil. Mine seemed to pool up in the corners of the pan.

Bake at 350 for about a half an hour. The top will be more like a cookie than a cake.

I have also made an apple crisp using fresh sliced apples with the peels still on and a topping of gluten-free flour, gluten-free oats, brown sugar and some melted coconut oil. I don't have an actual recipe for this. Just mix it up until it looks right.

Last Thanksgiving, I made Namaste Blonde brownies and added a can of pumpkin to the mix. I then glazed them with some frosting made of powdered sugar, orange juice and some food coloring to make it orange. They were quite nice. You can also make the brownies and add some Enjoy Life chocolate chips.

One quick dessert type is pudding. Both tapioca and rice pudding are very quick and easy to make. I like making them with fruit juice instead of water, and/or adding fruit to it. Use Stevia instead of sugar, and you have a delicious treat without the usual guilt!
