Looking to find some new gluten free ideas for dessert? After going gluten free, I quickly tired of the one recipe I knew how to make well. Gluten free brownies are good, but I was craving something a little more special. I wanted other options for gluten free chocolate desserts, but found myself craving all those baked goods I used to think I could not longer have on a gluten free diet- cookies, cakes, pie, cupcakes and cheesecakes. Fortunately, some of my favorite food bloggers created some pretty incredible gluten free dessert recipes. Here are 42 of my top picks, complete with step by step instructions and gorgeous photos. I highly recommend the mini cheesecakes and the quick no bake raspberry chocolate tart, but all of these are amazing. Try a few of these gluten free sweets for yourself. Yum, yum, yum.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
