Gluten-Free Kahlua Dessert Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling

Yield: 12 Servings

30 30

Ingredients

1 cup gluten-free cornflakes, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
12 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
2 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
2 cups fat-free whipped topping
2 ounces dark chocolate candy bar, melted
Fresh raspberries and mint leaves, optional

Directions

Combine cornflake crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom of a 9-in. square pan coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the milk, Kahlua and gelatin mixture until blended. Gently fold in whipped topping; pour over crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Drizzle with melted chocolate; garnish with raspberries and mint leaves if desired. Yield: 12 servings.

I made this for New Year's Eve and it was a hit! The one mistake I made when making this was I added about a 1/2 cup more of the gluten-free cornflakes. It was too much and took away from the rest of the flavors. The texture was too rubbery with the excess cornflakes.

It was too sweet and I did not like the taste of the Coffee Liqueur.

Okay, this may be gluten-free -BUT- look at the high calories and carbs!!

Just a note to Tonah: Since the recipe calls for Coffee liqueur, I would not use fruit juice, the acids of the juice will probably change the consistancy of the recipe. Your best bet would be to try a Chocolate Liqueur or a hazelnut liqueur.

I just got this recipe so haven't tried it. It sounds good, but we don't like coffee. So, what can you replace that with - maybe fruit juice or what?

Very easy to make and was a hit at the office! If you didn't want to make it for a Gluten-Free recipe, you could use a graham cracker crust instead.
