Gluten Free Dessert Ideas

I have been to a lot of gatherings lately where dessert has been served. Desserts can present quite a problem for someone who is gluten free because so many of the things that are usually served for dessert have gluten (cakes, brownies, cookies, cheesecake, etc) but this doesn't have to be the case. So, if you are serving dessert to someone who is gluten free or if you are gluten free and want to bring a dessert to share with everyone, here are several relatively easy/normal dessert ideas:

• ice cream or frozen yogurt (as long as it doesn't have mix-ins such as brownies or cookies that would contain gluten)
• root beer floats (or vary it with orange soda, sprite with sherbet, etc)
• ice cream bars (unfortunately not ice cream sandwiches)
• fresh fruit
• fruit smoothies
• milkshakes
• chocolate covered strawberries
• rice krispies (plain, peanut butter, cake batter, nutella - just make sure to use gluten free rice krispies)
• any of the Betty Crocker Gluten Free line: chocolate chip cookies, brownies, yellow cake, chocolate cake

Also make sure you check out the dessert section of the blog. These are some of my favorites:

• macaroons
• mini cheesecakes with gluten free crust
• fudge crinkles
• pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
• pretzel turtles
