Topping Suggestions

Gluten-free cheesecakes are great on their own, but adding toppings can elevate them further! Try fruit like strawberries or blueberries for a fresh twist. For a richer taste, caramel or chocolate drizzles work perfectly too. You can even get creative by using gluten-free cookie crumbles for added texture!

This gluten-free cheesecake is a game-changer for those avoiding gluten, but don’t hesitate to make it your own. Why not try adding a dash of cinnamon or lemon zest to the crust? The best part of cheesecake is its versatility, and you can finish it off with your favorite topping, whether that's fresh fruit, a drizzle of chocolate, or a sprinkle of nuts!
