5 Minute Gluten Free Cheesecake - So Easy, So Good!
By John D Lee
Well, I have certainly plumped up while here at home visiting my folks - but I do it all in the name of research! And so I can proudly say that any of my mom's gluten free recipes that I post have been well and truly tested before hand!
Cheesecake, I guess it's kind of hard to make a bad cheesecake, but there are plenty of mediocre recipes floating about, and plenty, to the chagrin of the gluten intolerant among us, that manage to sneak a fair amount of flour into the mix.
Well, here's a 5 minute, couldn't by easier, everyday cheesecake recipe that you takes no forethought, contains no wheat and is very very good.
5 Min Gluten Free Everyday Cheesecake
- 2 eggs
- 2 packages of cream cheese (1 lb in total, and it's easier to work with if you let it soften out of the fridge for an hour or so – but not at all necessary).
- ½ cup of white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of full fat sour cream
- Pre heat the oven to 350
- Mix up the eggs, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a mixer or blender until well incorporated.
- Scrape into a medium pie pan (about 8 inches)
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top has set well
- Right away, while it is still piping hot, spread on your full fat regular sour cream (Cheesecake baking time is not the time to go and start worrying about counting grams of fat). Lower fat sour creams do not spread well, and do not get absorbed by the cooling cheese. The sour cream will stop the cake from cracking.
Let cool and eat, or refrigerate and eat for days and days. This cake actually tastes better the day after baking, making it perfect for an easy entertaining dessert.
I like it topped with some fresh fruit or good homemade jam…and just a little bit more whipped cream on top.
Enjoy.

This sounds yummie. I'm going to make for my birthday. Thanks for sharing.
No crust? The picture looks like theres a crust
This recipe is AWESOME!!! I made it for my friend's birthday dinner and everyone LOVED it!! I increased the recipe by 1/2 and baked it in a greased springform pan. I also added one teaspoon of almond extract. When cooled topped with a can of cherry pie filling. SSSSSOOO delicious!!! Will be making it again for a Valentine's party I'll be going to.
A little disappointed in consistency & taste. I would beat the cream cheese with sugar first, add eggs & vanilla last to get a creamy texture. I would double the ingredients & bake in a springform pan & cook longer until set. It definitely will taste better the next day. I put a scoop of cherry pie filling on each serving.
The photo shows a crust....wheres the crust? THATS the part that has the gluten!
i've been meaning to thank you. this cheese cake has become a staple for me, a girl with celiac, for many holidays. we just gorge on it. the full fat sour cream makes it delectable. thank you
You can do an almond crust
2 cups whole unblanched almonds
5 tablespoons of sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a food processor, blend the almonds, sugar and almond extract until the almonds are coarsely chopped. Add unsalted butter and process until almonds are finely chopped. With your hands, press the almond mixture firmly onto the bottom and 2 inches up the side of a 9-inch-diameter springform pan. Fill a small glass (no handle) with coins and use it to gently press the crust onto the bottom and sides, allowing the weight from the coins to do the work for you.
Bake crust until light brown, about 15-20 minutes. Allow the crust to cool in the pan on a rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
We used your cheesecake recipe last week http://wp.me/p1VzJI-4b it was decidedly the best cheesecake ever.
