Griswold Inn Indian Pudding

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:36:37 -0400

The Griswold Inn, built in 1776 in Essex, Connecticut, has promised first-class accomodations to travelers since the stagecoach-steamboat days. This traditional molasses-rich dessert isn't as popular as it used to be, but it remains a very tasty treat. Despite the title, early New England settlers did not adapt this recipe from native Americans: 'Indian' refers to the 'Indian meal' used - cornmeal, as wheat flour wasn't available. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. -- posted by Molly53

Iranian Saffron Rice Pudding (Sholeh Zard) (Dairy Free & Glu

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:17:13 -0400

This beautiful traditional Persian dessert is now a favorite of ours. This version is not overly sweet. Saffron, one of the most precious and most expensive spices in the world gives this pudding it's beautiful golden colour and rewarding flavour. Recipe by Nahal Lovessert, modified from http://www.lovescool.com. I never would have imagined a rice pudding without milk could be so good! -- posted by UmmBinat

Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - Gluten Free

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:19:27 -0400

A recipe from www.celiac.com that I have altered slightly. If your flour mix does not include xanthan gum, add 1 T of ground flax seed (although you may add it anyway as the outcome of the recipe won't be affected). It is also very important to chill the dough before you bake them - they won't spread as much. NOTE; If you are making this recipe as a non-gluten free recipe using regular all-purpose flour, do not use quick oats as the recipe was made with regular long cooking oats. -- posted by LARavenscroft

Gluten Free Cream Puffs

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:46:07 -0400

As a child, I remember making cream puffs with my grandma and my dad. We took a short cut in the filling department though and just used Cool Whip instead of a Bavarian cream. I like them both ways, but the Cool Whip does lighten up the end product, not only in calories and fat content but they are not as filling. They are super easy to make so I hope you try them out and let me know what you think! I got the recipe from the Today Show website a few years ago. -- posted by Adventures of a Gluten Free Mom

Gluten-Free Creamy Breakfast Rice Pudding

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:18:25 -0400

This was something I came up with this morning, because I was tired of nut/seed granola and cold milk. It turned out delicious! For a lower sugar content, try using a packet of stevia in place of the agave nectar. You could also substitute almond milk or even water for the milk. -- posted by Jainene

Berry Yoghurt Smoothie

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:55:23 -0400

I got this recipe from Sarah Owen's book "The Top 100 juices", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "The super-nutrient vitamin C is needed for more than 300 diferent processes in the body, but it is easily wiped out by smoking, pollution and stress. Found in abundance in berries, vitamin C and other antioxidants help to quash the damaging free radicals that are associated with many illnesses." The original recipe calls for natural bio yoghurt to be used, but any yoghurt will do. This makes a large amount of smoothie, and if you're making it just for yourself, I'ld recommend halving it. I hope you enjoy this healthy - but still tasty - smoothie :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Teff Muffins With Fruit & Nuts

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:34:56 -0400

The grains of teff are so small, the bulk of the grain consists of the bran and germ. This makes teff nutrient dense as the bran and germ are the most nutritious parts of any grain. This grain has a very high calcium content. It is considered to have an excellent amino acid composition, with lysine levels higher than wheat or barley. Teff is high in protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. It contains no gluten so it is appropriate for those with gluten intolerance. Teff flour, brown rice flour & arrowroot flour can be purchased at whole food stores. -- posted by lwatkins

Sour Cherry and Almond Spoon Sweet

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:10:58 -0400

Another yummy spoon sweet recipe! This particular recipe is from figbaywine.blogspot.com***************************************************************************************"This description of what a "spoon sweet" is is from "The World Of Greece: Odyssey" Magazine - May/June 2008 issue. "Syrup-laden baklavas, karydopitta, or even the thicker, cakey ravani-style desserts are served on holidays and special occasions, but the everyday sweet is customarily a spoonful of a glyko koutaliou. To this day, spoon sweets are a traditional offering, literally a sweet welcome for visitors into the Greek home, whether theyve come for a chat or on a more formal occasion. Spoon sweets are also served at the village kafeneion, a teaspoon-sized serving on a small dish set before the guest or visitor with a glass of iced water and a cup of strong Greek coffee. Traditionally each household put up their own spoon sweets according to the availability of fruit in season. Sweets were made in small quantities, usually to recipes handed down from one generation to the next." * * * ************************************************************************************** Keeps in the fridge for 4 6 months. -- posted by ThatSouthernBelle

Simple Flourless Chocolate and Chestnut Truffle Cake With Fresh

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:54:40 -0500

This is absolutely DIVINE! The texture is smooth and somewhere between a chocolate cake a chocolate truffle. If you love chocolate, you'll love this as its just out of this world. A good substitute for those who don't like Christmas pudding, though I bet everyone will go off Christmas pudding once they taste this! Double or Triple the quantities for a larger party, a small slice is usually enough as its very rich. The brandy is optional and comes through more as a subtle flavour than anything else but feel free to add more to the cream if you prefer a stronger flavour (I do). If I make this during the summer I would leave out the brandy. Also this cake needs to be made at least a day in advance and it freezes well too. -- posted by robd16

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip, Raisin, Walnut Cookies

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:32:32 -0500

These relatively healthy absolutely delicious chocolate chip cookies are a gluten-free adaptation of my favorite chocolate chip cookie. The raisins keep the cookies moist but they are hardly noticeable. It is easiest if you use a pre-made brown rice flour mix (Food Philosopher®) but here is the breakdown of those ingredients*: 1 1/2 cups brown rice flour 1/3 cup potato starch 8 teaspoons tapioca flour 1/2 teaspoon tapioca flour. I have had success with other gluten-free flour mixes but this one works the best for me. -- posted by Yankiwi

Pumpkin Pie (No Sugar)

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:06:18 -0500

This came from my recipe #401813, in a desire to make pumpkin pie with no sugar. Here in England, we don't really have access to tinned pumpkin, and I don't buy things in tins, so I make this with fresh pumpkin or squash. It's a tasty pie, or could be baked as a custard. I bake it with a grain-free crust, mixing ground almonds, egg yolk and a bit of honey. Preparation time does not include preparing a pie crust. -- posted by Aimee88

Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:37:11 -0500

I have tricked several wheat eaters with this recipe. Very tasty and not gritty like typical gluten free recipes. Our normal grocery store carries soy flour and shouldn't be too hard to find. Definitely worth using! Adds protein and fiber and I think it helps with texture. You could probably get away with omitting the teaspoon of guar gum, but I have it on hand and use it. I've used both milk, lactaid and soy milk for this recipe without any problems. I have also used pure pumpkin and pumpkin pie mix (this will make the batter more watery, so bake a little longer). You don't have to use the chocolate chips, they'll still be quite tasty! -- posted by Zizek

Incredible Gluten Free Butter Cookies

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:35:23 -0500

These cookies are so delectable it's hard to believe they are gluten free ;-) Shortbread-like and not overly sweet, they keep very well and make a perfect holiday gift! The recipe is a result of experimenting with all kinds of cookie recipes, combining things I liked and then patiently changing the resulting recipe slightly, time after time until it met my expectations. I hope it will meet yours as well :-) The dough is easy to roll out for cutting and also suitable for using a cookie press. I often freeze them raw in large amounts to bake later, but even without freezing these cookies hardly spread. If you need to avoid lactose, you can replace the butter with 4/5 dairy free margarine and 1/5 Ghee so as to have the buttery taste without the lactose. -- posted by Suzy mom to 2

In my picture - I had accidentally burnt the top, so I had cut it off and just coated the remainder in cream :) .... also, if you want your cake to be a bit sweeter - a teaspoon of vanilla essence when you're adding the sugar to the egg. -- posted by ByNDii

El Tesoro Mousse Cake Recipe

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:28:16 -0500

I saw this Recipe on Willie's Wonky Chocolate Factory, and thought it might be a good glueten free choice. Haven't tried it but wanted to save it for later. Taken from Willie's Chocolate Factory Cookbook © Willie Harcourt-Cooze. Photography Copyright © Cristian Barnett -- posted by Mazey

Peach Freeze

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:41:27 -0500

This recipe is from the side of a large can of SPC Peach Halves in natural fruit juice. The can is 825g (roughly 30 ounces) and the fruit content is labelled at being at least 59% of the can. The original recipe had 2 tablespoons of sugar....but I dont think it's necessary with lovely sweet fruit. Cook time does not include freezing time -- posted by **Jubes**

Creamy Coconut and Rum Baked Pineapple

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:55:14 -0500

I came up with this as a solution to leftover coconut milk and a fresh pineapple. And even on Weight Watchers, it was worth saving points for this dessert. The whole recipe has a total of 8 points. The rum for this dessert should be golden- a light rum will not produce the same depth of flavour. Number of servings will depend on the size of pineapple used- increase the sauce if using a large pineapple. -- posted by Shuzbud

Gluten-Free, Egg-Free Cheesecake Recipe

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:44:51 -0500

We all love cake, but there is only one kind of cake whose heavy creamy texture relentlessly visits me in my dreams night after hungry night until I finally break down screaming all right Ill make some! I promise!: Cheesecake, of course! (I know, I need help.) Cheesecake has always been my Achilles Heel. It can be very expensive, fattening, and artery clogging, but its just sogood!

Gluten Free "molasses" Spice Cookies

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 20:00:36 -0500

These cookies were inspired by Dorie Greenspan's delicious looking Molasses Spice Cookies which I saw in a recent Parade Magazine. I read Parade every weekend (it comes in our local paper), and I especially enjoy checking out the recipes in it and then renovating them for my gluten free higher protein desires. http://www.elanaspantry.com/molasses-spice-cookies/ -- posted by Elana's Pantry

Gluten-Free Date Pecan Muffins

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:02:03 -0500

Satisfying and highly nutritious, these lightly sweetened muffins have chunks of date (a good source of potassium, calcium and iron) and pecan (high in protein, fiber, and antioxidants) in every bite, and are sweetened with low-glycemic agave nectar. From the book " The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook" by Elena Amsterdam, this recipe calls for blanched almond flour (Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour WILL NOT work for this recipe-it is too coarse). Blanched almond flour can be found at www.nutsonline.com, www.honeyvillegrain.com, or www.lucyskitchenshop.com. -- posted by FloridaNative

Lemon Lavender Cookies

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:22:23 -0500

Don't worry, even though this recipe sounds a tad weird, it's subtle and I think, delicious. It kinda reminds me of the recipe in my gluten free cookbook for Rosemary Hazelnut Cookies. http://www.elanaspantry.com/lemon-lavender-cookies/ -- posted by Elana's Pantry

Gluten Free does not have to mean dessert free! I came up with this dessert bread recipe that is really easy AND tasty! I am the one who needs to be Gluten Free, but my husband loves this so much, he usually eats most of it himself! -- posted by Food Addict!

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:23:02 -0500

From San Francisco Chronicle & SFGate.com. "One of my neighbors in Provence introduced me to this simple little dessert, which makes a light conclusion to a hearty winter meal. Serve the compote with biscotti or other cookies for dipping." -- posted by Trnquilit

Mascarpone Creme "custard"

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:11:34 -0500

I use this instead of custard when I make a fruit tart. Alternatively, it works great for making a parfait with strawberries, mini chocolate chips, and shortbread cookie pieces. Prep time include 30 minutes in the refrigerator. -- posted by YoungEngineer

Gluten Free White Chocolate Raisinets

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 12:37:51 -0500

I use Enjoy Life chocolate chips. For a nut free chip, you can also try Vermont Nut Free Chocolates. Earth Balance works for a dairy free option. Make sure the cookies are small. I use a small melon baller which I fill level. Bigger cookies will spread. -- posted by Cookin' on the Prairie

The Easiest Flourless Chocolate Cake

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:35:06 -0500

I found this recipe on the food network's website, and it is the easiest flourless cake I have come across. Especially since you don't have to separate the eggs. The key is in whipping them for a long enough time to make them increase in volume. -- posted by Chef #497345
