Gluttonous Post

I need to come up with a better way of organizing recipes, so in the meantime I am going to use this blog. I will only post yummy recipes, so if you want to steal them go right ahead.


Gluten Free Cheesecake with Nut Crust Supreme

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2 cups Gluten Free Baking Mix
½ cup dark brown sugar
2/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces1 cup
finely chopped pecans
Spray cheesecake pan lightly with vegetable oil spray

The Crust
In a medium bowl stir together the flour mix and brown sugar. Cut in the butter until fine crumbs form. Stir in the nuts and pat into your pan. The crust will be “crumbly” but will hold together once pressed into the pan.

The Filling
4 – 8 oz bars of gluten free cream cheese, softened
1 cup of granulated sugar
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla

Mix all of the ingredients with a beater until smooth and pour into the unbaked crust. Place in preheated oven for 30 minutes.While that is baking, prepare the topping.

The Topping
2 cups gluten free sour cream
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon of gluten free almond extract (Maybe less depending on how Almondy you want it)
Juice from ½ a lemon

Mix the topping ingredients in a bowl. After the first 30 minutes of baking, remove the cheesecake and spoon the topping onto the cheesecake. Be careful not to overfill the pan. Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for an additional 10-20 minutes. You may want to place a piece of foil under the cheesecake just to catch any drippings. Cooking times can vary dramatically depending upon the amount of topping you choose to use. Watch to see when it starts to solidify but don’t let it stay in so long that the crust begins to burn.
