need dessert idea

[figaromeetsmarie]

That doesn't use flour. o

 

[runsandjumps]

What about pavlovas? Or a cheesecake without crust?

 

[lizabu]

Flourless chocolate cake...yum

 

[Jana49]

How about a beautiful fruit salad served in parfait glasses with whipped cream on top? Leave out the bananas and you can make it early in the day.

Ice cream pie- graham cracker crust, two pints of ice cream, topping for a middle layer in between.

Graham crackers have flour in them, so this dessert doesn't help the OP.

OP - what exactly are you needing to avoid? White flour? Wheat? Gluten?

I'd go with a flourless chocolate cake or a fruit/pudding dessert.

My FIL has Celiac Disease. Our go to dessert is Rice Pudding w/or w/out raisins (super easy, can be served warm or cold) with fresh whipped cream and fruit compote. Can look really elegant in a glass serving bowl if you want a "fancy" dessert too. Even my kids love it!

My daughter and I have Celiac Disease and eat gluten free. If you're avoiding flour because of a gluten issue than stay away from rice krispy treats unless you're using a gluten free cereal. Normal rice krispys contain gluten.

For flourless desserts some of my favorites are:

Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Combine all ingredients together and spoon by the tablespoon onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. So easy and they taste just like regular peanut butter cookies. I make these all the time and everyone loves them.

Cocoa Pebbles bars
Just make rice krispy treats but subsititute cocoa pebbles as the cereal. These are really good and always go over well.

Black Bean Brownies
I know this sounds weird but they're actually amazing!
1 15.5 ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained
3 eggs
3 TB vegetable oil
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp instant coffe (optional)
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease 8x8 baking dish.
Combine beans, eggs, oil, cocoa powder,salt, vanilla, sugar and instant coffee in the blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and pour into baking dish. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Bake 30 minutes or until top is dry and edges start to pull away from the pan.

Like I said this sounds unusual but it's actually really good and a great way to sneak some fiber into your kids diet!

I'm also Celiac. The brownie recipe is intriguing. One I think I do with the peanut butter cookie recipe is mix up the type of sugar I use (all brown sugar, all white sugar, some of both). Also, you can roll it into small balls and stick them in a mini muffin tin. Then, when you take them out of oven, drop a few chocolate chips into each one - the cookie make a divot and make a yummy chocolate and peanut butter cup.

Kitchen Sink Cookies

1¼ cups light brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/3 cups creamy peanut butter
8 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. salt
4½ cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1¼ cup pretzel M&Ms
½ cup chocolate chips
¼ cup raisins

Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sugars, peanut butter and butter. Beat on medium-high speed until well blended. Mix in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Blend in the baking soda, vanilla, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, mix in the oatmeal just until incorporated. Fold in the pretzel M&Ms, chocolate chips and raisins with a spatula.

Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a couple of inches between each dough ball. Bake 8-11 minutes, until light golden and just set, being careful not to overbake. Let cool on the baking sheets 5 minutes.

one packet of pistachio pudding
one can of crushed pineapples
one can of mandarin oranges

Umm...panna cotta or macaroons!

if you are going healthy i'd try a greek yogurt pannacotta...I personally love greekyogurt, vanilla extract and orange juice its kinda like one of those orange dream pops!

if you want a show stopper I'd go with french macaroons you can make a bunch of different flavors just by tinting them with different colored foodcoloring and changing the filling flavor(I personally just use my favorite no sugar added jellys and jams). My FAVORITE macaroon is a snickers macaroon...chocolate cookie filled with nougat(marshmallow fluff and peanutbutter), caramel and peanuts.

I've grown rather fond of cheesecake with a crushed walnut crust in place of traditional crust. I make mine in a springform pan so the crust is only on the bottom, not up the sides.

Hehe-I've done the brownies and black beans-make sure you completely puree the black beans-my kids never knew! I also brought some into work and everyone ate them up. They are denser than regular brownies but the chocolate hides the bean flavor! Yummy!
