Celiacs needn’t miss out on this dessert staple thanks to Lisa Faulkner’s Gluten-Free Cheesecake recipe. Gluten-free biscuits (ginger, in this case) are your secret ingredient. Lisa has added blueberries to her recipe, but you can pop in whatever fruits you like for a citrusy addition to your creamy mixture. While prepping, remember that time is really important for a cheesecake, so give it plenty of opportunity to set. Overnight is best, if you can. And when it’s time to serve, a dollop of ice cream on the side goes down a treat.Time and servings
