    Delicious Gluten-Free Dessert Recipes

    For years readers have asked me if I have a list of all my gluten-free desserts. While this list does not include every gluten-free dessert recipe on my blog (I have a few hundred), this post has some of my BEST gluten-free desserts.

    If you are looking for specific gluten-free dessert recipes, there's a good chance that I have them here. When we went gluten-free, finding good recipes for gluten-free desserts was our biggest challenge (that and a recipe for a good gluten-free bread). Meals and snacks are simpler with protein sources, fruits, veggies, rice, quinoa, and starchy root vegetables. Over the years, I've really focused on good easy gluten-free dessert recipes.

    I hope you enjoy these gluten-free dessert recipes as much as we do!

        I have no idea what a dessert shot glass is or how much it holds so I’m going to double the recipe, use 1/2 pint canning jars and cross my fingers. I’ve already made the fudge sauce you suggest but I’m a little concerned about the corn syrup being gluten free. Say a pray a prayer!

        Because the ingredients are safe to eat raw, you don't bake it. Think of it as a chewy granola bar. 🙂

      Is it best to make it a couple of hours before serving or a day before?

        Hi Francesca,
        You can make it an hour before, or the day before. It's up to you. These will stay good in the fridge for a day or two 🙂

      How does the whipped cream last a few days? Whenever I make homemade whipped cream, it deflates within a few hours. I want to make this for a potluck, but I have to make it the night before.

        Hi Misty,
        I use full fat or "heavy" whipping cream and I whip it until it's really stiff. Hope that helps.

      Hi - could I use coconut flour in place of almond flour for the cookie crumbs?

        Hi Julia,
        Yes, you can use coconut flour instead of almond flour. You might have to adjust the other ingredients.

        This dessert shots recipe makes 3 mini dessert shots, but you can double or triple the recipe.

      Can we use honey instead of powdered sugar? Your recipe looks amazing but I can not have sugar. Thanks!

        The powdered sugar gives it the consistency. I don't think honey would work they same way.

        Hi Karen,
        It's about 2/3rds the way down the page, under the other dessert recommendations.

      Hi there, you used to have a recipe for Chocolate Peppermint dessert shots that has apparently been removed from your site completely. Is there anyway to find that again or at least get ingredients/amounts?

        Hi Stephanie,
        Yes, I removed it. Here it is, if you want to save it 🙂

        Yields 4

        1 box Enjoy Life Foods Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies
        1 cup dairy-free whipped topping
        1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
        2 allergy-friendly candy cane, crushed
        Instructions: Place 1 cookie in the bottom of each tall shot glass, or small glass (4 glasses total).
        In a small mixing bowl, mix dairy-free whipped topping and peppermint extract. Put 1-2 tablespoons (depending glass size) on top of the cookies in the glasses.
        Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.
        Repeat two more times.
        Serve cold. Store in the refrigerator covered for up to three days.

      Hi, Chrystal,

      These look great! Can I substitute olive oil or canola oil for the coconut oil?

        Yes, you can use your oil of choice. I recommend a neutral flavored oil.
