Recipe Round-Up: Gluten Free Desserts

Whenever I have guests who are  gluten-free coming to my home, I tend to panic and worry about what I can prepare for a sweet treat.  I shouldn’t because I have made many delicious gluten-free desserts over the years.  I thought it would be easier to find these recipes if they were all corralled in one place, hence this 16-recipe round-up.  From virtuous pistachio-encrusted chocolate-dipped dried apricots, to a decadent, show-stopping flourless chocolate torte, these desserts have been tested and are crave-worthy.  Click on the highlighted link to access the recipes.

Almond~Date Amaretto Truffles

“Christmas cookies and happy hearts, this is how the holiday starts.”  Unknown

Truffles denote decadence,sophistication and a guilty pleasure.  These sweet little morsels only taste like it!  These healthy truffles get their natural sweetness from the dates, are gluten free and take but a few minutes to assemble.  With the aromatic flavoring of almonds, cocoa, orange juice and Amaretto liqueur, they are a perfect little addition to your sweet holiday offerings.  The Amaretto makes them just a little bit naughty but the wholesome ingredients make them nice!  They are made directly in the food processor for no fuss, easy clean up.  A guilt-free sweet little nugget!
