GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE



Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake image

When my mother was undergoing chemotherapy for the cancer that eventually took her life, I came up with the basic recipe for the cheesecake. It was one of the few foods that she really enjoyed and would stay down. Now my granddaughter has a gluten allergy, so I've adapted the recipe for her by using the gluten-free crust instead of the original graham crumb crust. I think I like this version better!

Time 3h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup almond meal
½ cup crushed slivered almonds
¼ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon baking soda

3 tablespoons melted butter
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups sour cream
1 ¾ cups pumpkin puree
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is set, about 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a pan of hot water onto the bottom rack of the oven to help reduce cracking in the cheesecake.

3 tablespoons butter, earth balance
16 ounces cream cheese, dairy free (room temperature)
1/4 cup dairy free sour cream
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
3/4 cup unrefined sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 eggs, room temperature beaten

Steps:

  • Directions:.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Make Crust:.
  • Run butter stick along bottom and sides of springform pan.
  • Melt the rest.
  • Grind cookies in food processor then add melted butter and press mixture into pan.
  • Bake for 15-20 min until slightly brown.

  • add sour cream, mix.
  • add pumpkin, mix.
  • add beaten eggs, vanilla, spices and cornstarch & mix.

  • When crust is cooled wrap pan with foil and fill baking pan with boiling water to half the height of the springform contents. Place cake into water bath.
  • Bake approx 1 hr till outside is set but inside is still a tiny bit loose. Then turn oven off and leave door slightly open and leave cake in oven for another 30 minute (my water had leaked into foil so I took my cake out of the water bath for this time. The water did not get into the cake though.).
  • Allow to cool on rack.
  • Run a knife around the edges and refrigerate for 6-8hrs or overnight until firm.
  • *note: we ate it after cooling 6hrs same day and it was good but it was much better the next day after sitting overnight and allowing the flavors to settle and meld. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps.
  • Use a springform pan for the cheesecake. This will make it easy to remove the cheesecake from the pan once it's baked.
  • Don't overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly.

Conclusion:

This gluten-free pumpkin cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people with and without gluten sensitivities. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this gluten-free pumpkin cheesecake a try.
