Here’s a simple and delicious gluten-free cheesecake recipe you can make at home 🍰
Gluten-Free Cheesecake
Ingredients
For the crust:
1 ½ cups gluten-free biscuits or graham crackers (crushed)
5 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp sugar (optional)
For the filling:
500g cream cheese (softened)
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream or yogurt
1 tbsp cornstarch (helps stabilize and keeps it gluten-free)
Instructions
1. Prepare the crust
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
Mix crushed gluten-free biscuits with melted butter and sugar
Press mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan
Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let it cool
2. Make the filling
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth
Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently
Mix in vanilla, sour cream, and cornstarch
3. Assemble
Pour filling over the cooled crust
Tap gently to remove air bubbles
4. Bake
Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 45–55 minutes
Center should still jiggle slightly
5. Cool properly
Turn off oven, leave door slightly open, let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best)
Optional toppings
Fresh strawberries or blueberries
Fruit compote
Chocolate drizzle
Caramel sauce
Tips
Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks
Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother texture
A water bath (placing the pan in hot water) gives extra creaminess
If you want, I can give you a no-bake gluten-free version or a low-calorie / keto cheesecake too 👍
