Goodie Girl Cookies
I know your here for the mini no bake cheesecake, but I gotta tell you just a bit about what makes this crust so amazing. A lot of times, when you go gluten free (by necessity or by choice), the first thing to go is all the sweets. Most cookies, cakes and desserts are loaded with gluten and it can be very difficult to find a replacement that doesnt taste gritty or have a weird after taste.Goodie Girl Cookieshave managed to make a cookie so good, that no one will notice that they are gluten free. I shared a few of these Chocolate Chip Cookies with my father and he said,
If it didnt say gluten free on the bag, I would not know. They just taste like good chocolate chip cookies.
These cookies are perfect for anyone who is going gluten free, lives in a gluten free household or just likes yummy cookies. They are also made in a peanut free facility! Plus, they are now available in Publix and they are a great price! Only $3.99 a bag and you can get a 75 cents off coupon here ->Goodie Girl 75 cents off coupon.
Gluten Free No Bake Cheesecake
Now what you came here for, thegluten free no bake cheesecake! I love cheesecake. Not to long ago I madeGluten Free Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Browniesand they were amazing. When I started to think about what I could make with Goodie Girl Chocolate Chip Cookies, I immediately thought they would make an awesome cheesecake crust, but it is 100 degrees here and I did not want to turn on the oven.
Thus, mini no bake cheesecake was born. It is so simple an so delicious. The Goodie Girl Chocolate Chip Cookies make an amazing crust. You get all that cookie goodness, filled with creamy cheesecake. With mini chocolate chips on top they are festive enough for a party or you can just keep a few in the freezer for when you want a bite of something sweet.
Recipe Notes
Here are a few notes to make your gluten free no bake cheesecake making a success.
The Crust:
- I know cookies already have sugar, but the brown sugar helps them bind together. Without it, it stays crumbly.
- Be sure to melt your butter completely. It works best if it still warm when you combine it with the cookie/brown sugar mixture.
The Cheesecake Mixture
- Let your cream cheese soften completely. It is extremely hard to beat cold cream cheese, it will not come out well.
- Use a high sided bowl for the whipping cream. It tends to splash.
- Feel free to double the cheesecake mixture. Add a little extra to the cheesecakes, or make yourself a cheesecake parfait with some crushed cookies and blueberries!
Happy Gluten Free Eating!
