    Birthdays: Easy Gluten Free Ice Cream Cake

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.
    Birthdays: Easy Gluten Free Ice Cream Cake -

    Celiac.com 08/14/2014 - I have missed ice cream cakes since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Below is a make-ahead ice cream cake for a gluten-free birthday celebration, so that no one has to miss ice cream cake again!

    You will need:

    • 1 Gluten Free Betty Crocker Devil’s Food Cake Mix
    • ½ - 1 gallon Gluten Free Vanilla Ice Cream, or Favorite gluten-free Ice Cream Flavor
    • 1- 2 Containers Duncan Hines or other Gluten Free Fudge Frosting
    • Cake Decorating Frosting, optional to write happy birthday message
    • Candles, optional for birthday party.

    Directions:

    1. Bake the Gluten free Devil’s Food Cake as per box instructions, in two 8” cake pans. Remove from oven and cool.
    2. When the cake is completely cool, take the ice cream out of freezer to soften.
    3. Place one Gluten Free Cake Layer on a cake platter. Put an even layer of softened ice cream on top. Next, place the other Gluten Free Cake Layer on top of the softened ice cream. If the ice cream is getting to soft place the cake in the freezer for 10 minutes before frosting.
    4. After frosting the cake put it back into the freezer until about to serve.
    5. Take out 10 minutes before serving, add birthday candles to top if using and enjoy!

    I have always LOVED ice cream cake myself & this sounds like a wonderful alternative to satisfy my gluten-free lifestyle, which has been an uphill battle to eat the great foods I always loved & not feeling left out <3 Thank you so much for posting this--wish I'd thought of doing this myself, but that's why we have creative people such as yourself <3 Cannot wait to make this.

    Hmm. I've always wondered how many people know or have been tested for dairy issues who have celiac disease or Gluten Intolerance (GI)?

     

    I did an interesting poll once and discovered that many, many people who were celiac were labeled lactose intolerant (which, really, they shouldn't be having dairy--or should at least use something to break the lactose down) and that almost all the people who had GI also had either a whey or a casein allergy (the two milk proteins in cow dairy--they shouldn't be having any cow dairy at all, because an allergy is hard on the body).

     

    That begs the question: should people with celiac and/or GI be eating any cow dairy at all? And if they do--are things like ice cream that are labeled gluten free also lactose free? (people with GI shouldn't have cow dairy period; you can't get rid of whey and/or casein proteins in ice cream)

     

    Some people are so sensitive to cow dairy they shouldn't have any at all; others can moderate/control and have a little bit (I'm talking about those with Gluten Intolerance). Still others are able to tolerate goat and sheep products, because their milk proteins are different than those from cow (like my family; we are GI).

     

    I sometimes wonder if celiacs and those with Gluten Intolerance would be healthier if they quit having any cow dairy products at all.

    My mom tries her best to keep my brother who's gluten intolerant away from milk and dairy products!

    I recently rediscovered my love of all things mousse. It's something I've eaten from time to time in the past, but which never really lit up my food radar.
    That changed recently when I was served a heavenly chocolate mousse for dessert. Now, I'm not much of a chocolate fan, but the mousse was a knockout. Light, fluffy, and flavorful, with a luscious texture.
    I came away from that dinner thinking that I'd have to try my hand at making a strawberry version.
    This recipe was the result. It makes 6-8 servings of tasty, delicious mousse with big strawberry flavor.
    Ingredients:
    1½ pounds ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced 2 tablespoons granulated sugar ¼ cup confectioners' sugar 1 pint heavy cream or whipping cream 2 t...
