Top Ten Gluten Free Desserts

Top Ten Gluten Free Desserts

When it comes to following a strict gluten free diet, desserts can be one of the hardest things to find substitutes for. So many cakes, puddings and biscuits are based around gluten, from the crumb base of a tasty cheesecake to the pastry case of a lemon meringue pie.

You’ll find gluten everywhere from crumble crumbs to trifle sponges, from the choux pastry of profiteroles to the crust of a Bakewell tart. But don’t worry; all is not lost. You can still satisfy your sweet tooth without straying from your strict gluten free diet.

Here at Glutafin, we know how much you love your puddings, and so we’ve created a whole range of delicious desserts that you can enjoy by following our simple gluten free recipes.

Pick of the puds

We recently asked our newsletter readers which were their favourite gluten free puddings and we were amazed at how many of you responded. No less than 468 of you got in touch to share your pick of our puds.

Here are the top ten gluten free desserts, as voted by you. Fortunately, we have gluten free recipes for almost all of these on our website. Just click on the links to see how to create your favourites using ingredients like Glutafin Gluten Free Select Multipurpose White Mix.
