If you're looking for gluten free desserts, you've come to the right place! On these pages, you'll find gluten free recipes for every dessert that you can imagine, including cookies, brownies, cakes, ice cream, cheesecake, apple pie and everything in between.
Looking for easy no bake gluten free desserts? But of course. Want to make something sweet with “normal” ingredients? Try my flourless baking recipes. You'll be amazed what you can do with cooked quinoa, peanut butter, or even black beans as a base instead of gluten free flour blends.
Even if you stopped by hoping for something to buy instead of make, maybe you'll change your mind and whip something up from scratch. I hope you'll stick around!
Here are some tips for making your dessert memorable:
Don't jump right into the deep end
As we discuss in our post on the top 20 gluten free desserts, I love a perfect gluten free puff pastry, too, but if you're new to gluten free baking, start slow! If you want something quick and easy, try starting with a drop cookies recipe like our gluten free chocolate chip cookies. They don't require any rolling or cutting out, or even an electric mixer of any kind. Just a bowl and a spoon!
Take your butter and eggs out of the refrigerator early
Lots of dessert recipes call for room temperature butter and eggs, so your wet ingredients combine well and fully. You'll get the best results from letting these ingredients sit on the counter for a while before you bake, so why not set them out when you think of it. They won't spoil in a day, so let them wait for you instead of the other way around!
Bake ahead and freeze
Most cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and bars freeze exceptionally well. Leave them all unfrosted and undecorated, let them cool completely and wrap them tightly, then freeze your favorite baked goods. Defrost them at room temperature, not in the refrigerator, since the icebox tends to dry out baked goods.
