We are going to my brother and SIL's place for dinner Saturday night and I am taking dessert. SIL is gluten intolerant. Any ideas on what I can take that she can also eat? I don't really want to have to go out and buy too many ingredients and I don't know how often I will use them. ------------- Lindsey

How about:
Do you have a butlers chocolate cafe up there? They do a delicious gluten free chocolate brownie.
Go out http://www.mfd.co.nz - www.mfd.co.nz to find out if ingredients/products are gluten free. -------------

If you really want to get into baking, there are some Arnotts Rice Biscuits (not crackers) that are suitable for putting in the likes of homemade cheesecake. But I'd go for the fruit salad and icecream plan! -------------  |

I've got a GF chocolate truffle cake recipe if you want, but fruit salad and icecream sounds much easier and really yummy. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Flissty, can you post the truffle cake recipe anyway? Linzy, the other thing I thought of was chocolate mousse. You can even buy the packet stuff if you're too busy to make it from scratch - Hansell's Chocolate Mousse is gluten free. -------------

Rice Biscuits for cheesecake base! What a great idea, must remember that one.
I'm going have to try that chocolate fudge cake. I make the rich moist chocolate cake with rice flour and it comes out a treat. If you were eating in your house I'd suggest 'Baked Alaska'. I think the original version has sponge cake but my version is whisk 6 egg whites until stiff, fold in a few dessert spoons of sugar. Then layer a dish with frozen berries, icecream and the meringue mixture. Put in the oven @ 250degs until the top of the meringue is cooked. Has to be eaten quickly

I love apple crumble in winter - just swap the regular flour for something GF (I just use a GF baking mix) and use either ground almonds or coconut or whole rice flakes instead of oats - YUMMO!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
