Tips & Notes
Pro tips
- Use a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum already included to avoid dense, crumbly crusts in pies.
- For cheesecake, allow extra cooling time (at least 4 hours) before chilling overnight—gluten-free crusts are more fragile when warm.
- Test peanut butter pie filling with a toothpick at the center; it should have minimal jiggle but not be fully set to avoid overbaking.
Substitutions
- All-purpose flour → certified gluten-free flour blend (use xanthan gum if blend lacks it)
- Regular graham cracker crust → gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour base (binds better)
Storage & make-ahead
Both desserts keep refrigerated for 3–4 days; cheesecake freezes well up to 1 month, peanut butter pie up to 2 weeks.

Can I make these gluten-free desserts at home?
Yes. The video demonstrates techniques for both cheesecake and peanut butter pie using gluten-free substitutes for crusts and standard baking methods for the fillings.
