Over 50 Homemade Gluten Free Puddings and Desserts

I never thought I’d write up this collection of Homemade Gluten Free Puddings and Desserts, I honestly never thought I’d have enough recipes to do it. The idea for this collection has been in my draft posts for about two years now. Finally I can present you with a mahoooosive droolworthy list of frozen, cold, hot and seasonal puddings and desserts. They are all gluten free and many have dairy and egg free options too, so I’m hoping there’s something for everyone here and quick access.

Use the handy links below to skip to the pudding or dessert inspiration that catches your eye, or grab a cuppa and scroll down the collection clicking on anything that takes your fancy.

All my recipes are super simple, they have to be – I made them! I don’t bother with fandangle ingredients that are impossible to source, I keep ingredients simple and the recipe method as stress free as possible because life is a drama, gluten free doesn’t have to be.

Cold Gluten Free Desserts

I’m not going to lie, some of these cold gluten free desserts are a bit fiddly to make. The trifles in particular have a lot of elements to them with the sponge, custard, jelly and cream to have to prepare. The thing to remember with most cold desserts is ‘do I need to make in advance’. Timing is key. Normally cold desserts require a decent amount of chilling time to allow the dessert to set properly. In some cases this can mean leaving in the fridge overnight.

Want a quick fix cold dessert option? Well can I recommend my collection of Fools. I have three fool recipes where fruit is folded into cream and topped with a delicious gluten free crumble to make the fool that little bit extra special .

The Rhubarb and Custard Tarts at the bottom of this section are surprisingly quick and simple to make too but you’d never know by the look of them.
