Gluten-Free Egg-free Cheesecake Recipe

This gluten-free eggless cheesecake recipe is made with a gluten-free graham cracker or cookie crust and uses an egg substitute. It's still got plenty of fat (and flavor!) in the form of margarine, cream cheese, and condensed milk, so it's not low-fat or healthy, but it is an indulgent gluten-free dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed cookies or graham cracker crumbs, gluten-free
  • 1/2 cup margarine, melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 packages low-fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tsp Ener-G Egg Replacer
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 16 ounce contained light sour cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Preparation:

Combine crumbs, margarine, and sugar, blending well. Press out in an ungreased 9 inch pan. Place pan on sheet pan or wrap foil around bottom to ensure no dripping. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In large bowl, mix cream cheese and all ingredients except sour cream until smooth. Add sour cream and mix 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake 1 hour in center of oven. Middle will still be creamy. Outer side will be done. Open door, and let set in oven approximately 2 hours to cool.

Use knives to loosen sides of pan, and remove. Place on serving tray and let cool to room temperature. Place in fridge for about 2 hours before serving.

This egg-free cheesecake recipe is gluten-free and wheat-free.

It was my wonderful friends birthday, who happens to not eat eggs, and loves cheesecake. I have experimented with egg free baking for her in the past and this has been the best outcome by far. I used a water bath at the bottom of the oven and added a little lemon zest to the batter. I was worried there would be consistency or taste issues, but I worried for not. It was a perfect cheesecake and unless you knew ahead of time there would be no clue it is free of eggs.
