Superb GF Desserts

Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be complete without those anxiously awaited delicious holiday desserts. This season we’ve taken the worry and uncertainty out of baking gluten-free with five incredible holiday desserts that are guaranteed successes! Pies, cake, tarts and cheesecake, all beautifully gluten-free. These desserts will provide a spectacular finish to a wonderful Thanksgiving feast.

Carrot Banana Cake

A beautiful frosted bundt cake, perfect for dessert or a very special breakfast or brunch. This recipe is very easy and certain to be a favorite. Moist and bursting with flavor, this cake combines carrots, bananas and pineapple to create a cake with a hardy flavor, perfectly topped with a cream cheese frosting.

Lime Meringue Tarts

Beautiful in its presentation, this gluten-free tart is a perfect replica of its larger cousin, Lemon Meringue Pie. These tarts are sweet, tart and sinfully delicious! The lime adds a slightly unique twist to the standard lemon meringue favorite. To ensure your results, and to simplify the mixing of gluten-free flours, we recommend the Gluten-Free Pantry’s Pie Mix for the crust. We used this same mix for our wonderful Apple Cranberry Pie. You will find the crust tastes like and has the same texture as regular pie crust.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

This is truly a ‘to die for’ dessert! Creamy, light pumpkin flavored cheesecake with a delightful sour cream top layer. The nutty, crunchy crust was made with Pamela’s Pecan Shortbread Cookies, crumbled and mixed with melted butter. This cheesecake will be a Thanksgiving favorite for years to come! Pumpkin Cheesecake will also store in the refrigerator for several days.

Apple Cranberry Pie

Try this delicious twist on a traditional Apple Pie. Yes, you can have a double crust gf pie! Just follow the package directions for The Gluten-Free Pantry’s Perfect Pie Crust. You’ll love the flaky, buttery crust, filled with sweet, cinnamon spiced apples and mouthwatering tart cranberry.
