Best 3 Gluten Free Cheesecake Cupcakes Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, pecans, butter, and brown sugar together in a bowl until mixture has a sandy texture. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup; press to create a flat and even crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is dry, about 12 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until very creamy. Add sugar and salt; mix well. Beat in eggs one at a time until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract and lemon extract.
• Pour cream cheese mixture evenly over each crust.
• Bake cheesecakes in the preheated oven until set, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

NEW YORK CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two standard 12-cavity muffin pans with cupcake liners. Evenly distribute the gluten-free cookie crumbs into the liners, about a tablespoon in each cup.
• Crack the eggs into a small container and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until it is light in color and fluffy. Add the sugar to the butter and continue beating until the sugar is uniformly incorporated into the butter. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl, and then restart the mixer on low speed. Add 1 egg at a time, waiting until it is fully incorporated in the butter mixture before adding the next egg.
• Once all the eggs have been added, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure that all the butter is incorporated with the eggs. Add the vanilla bean paste and blend uniformly.
• Add the gluten-free baking mix in three additions, alternating with the milk, in two additions, fully incorporating each addition into the batter before moving to the next step. If needed, stop the mixer after each addition and scrape down the sides of the bowl and then resume mixing on low.
• Once all the dry ingredients and the milk have been combined with the butter mixture, evenly fill the cupcake pan cavities two-thirds of the way full. Bake the cupcakes until the top of each cupcake is slightly springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and immediately turn the cupcakes out of the pan onto a cooling rack. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
• Using an apple corer or knife, core out the center of each cooled cupcake. Then fill with 1 tablespoon raspberry preserves and top with the Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Frosting. Drizzle a small amount of the Raspberry Coulis over the top.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese and butter and beat until soft and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla bean paste. Whisk on low speed to combine so there is no loose powdered sugar on the bottom of the bowl and then turn the mixer onto medium-high. Whip until very light and fluffy.
• Fit an 18-inch plastic piping bag with an 847 star tip and twist the bag right by the tip to prevent the buttercream from leaking out. While you grasp the piping bag right above the star tip with your hand, fold the top of the piping bag over your hand and spoon the cream cheese frosting into the piping bag. Set aside.
• Put the raspberries in a heavy saucepot and heat until warm. Mix together the sugar and 3 tablespoons water and add to the raspberries. Bring just to a boil, until all the sugar dissolves. Let cool and pour the raspberry mix into a blender or food processor and puree. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove all or part of the seeds.

GLUTEN-FREE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch springform pan.
• Prepare crust: Process graham crackers in a food processor into fine crumbs. Mix with sugar and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and increase heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Let cool while you prepare the filling.
• Place cream cheese cubes into a large mixing bowl; beat on low, scraping the sides as necessary, until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add salt and 1/2 of the sugar; beat until mixed. Mix in flour and remaining sugar. Add lemon juice and vanilla; mix well. Add cream and mix, scraping the sides, until smooth.
• Add egg yolks and mix until well incorporated. Add eggs in 2 batches, mixing well and scraping the sides as needed. Pour filling into the pan on top of the cooled crust. Gently lift the pan about 1 inch and let it drop onto the countertop; repeat twice more. (This will help air bubbles to rise to the surface, helping to prevent cracking.)
• Place in the preheated oven on top of a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) without opening the oven door; the edges may look golden and the top may be puffy. Bake for 1 hour 40 more minutes; the internal temperature of the cake should be between 150 and 160 degrees F (66 to 71 degrees C).
• Remove the cake from the oven and let sit for about 10 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edges to help pull it away from the sides of the pan as the cake contracts. Cover with a large bowl and let sit for 2 to 3 hours. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 5 hours.
