If you tell me that you don't like chocolate, I'm going to do everything within my power to prove you wrong. But it's not just chocolate. If you tell me you don't like pretty much anything, that's my cue to get to work.
Now, I've watched my own son develop right before my eyes into a young man who truly doesn't love chocolate. He'll take a few bites of a rich brownie, and push it away. A flourless chocolate cake is just not his jam after bite one.
But there is a chocolate recipe in this list of 15 of the very best gluten free chocolate recipes for everyone. Including my son.
For the true deep-as-you-dare chocolate lovers, go for the flourless chocolate cake, chocolate lava cakes, chocolate cakes for one, or the chocolate mousse cake (personal fave).
For the other end of the spectrum, you and my son will love the red velvet cake, chocolate mug cake (a great last minute for your Valentine!), or the devil's food cake.
And really and truly for everyone, the crazy cake (seriously everyone's favorite, including the cook!). Also, the one bowl chocolate cake, chocolate pound cake, black bean or avocado brownies (for the healthiest!).
The vegan white chocolate is just in a class by itself. That is the recipe for people who swear they don't like white chocolate.
This crazy cake is a gluten free chocolate cake made with no eggs, no butter and no chopped chocolate—but it’s still super moist and tender. It's so simple, and it's consistently one of the most popular recipes on this blog. For good reason!

It's worth buying zucchini in the middle of the winter for this gem, and you'll making it all summer long when you can't get rid of that pushy veg fast enough!

Finally, last but not least, a classic flourless chocolate cake. This is one of those restaurant-style desserts that it’s tempting to think is too fussy to make at home. It’s naturally gluten free, you know. But let's be real: only true chocolate lovers need apply.

Hi, I’m Nicole. I create gluten free recipes that really work and taste as good as you remember. No more making separate meals when someone is GF, or buying packaged foods that aren’t good enough to justify the price. At Gluten Free on a Shoestring, “good, for gluten free” just isn’t good enough! Come visit my bio!

Nicole, I the comments for the post (recipe) I wanted to comment on are closed so I decided to comment here. I just made your churros con chocolate sauce. I made 4 batches within the past couple days and my family and friends are addicted. THANK YOU for providing us with recipes of GF foods that remind us of life before celiac disease. I love all of your cookbooks and buy them in both kindle and physical copy to support your efforts.
