Holiday Desserts Minus the Gluten

December 9, 2025 by Emily Moore
  • Guy walks into a cafe and points at a muffin.
    Guy: Excuse me, is this gluten free?
    Server: No, it’s $4.50!
  • What did the doctor advise her gluten-free patient to do?
    Get bread rest!

The sweetest part of the holidays is feeling included. These three desserts are naturally gluten-free, and like all our recipes, can be easily adjusted for any allergy, so your kid chef (and every guest) can join in the fun, safely and deliciously.

 

Three Gluten-Free Desserts Your Family Will Love
  • Strawberry Flummery
    Think pudding-meets-mousse. Strawberry Flummery is sweet, silky, strawberry-forward, and oh-so pretty in a small glass dish.
    Kids Will Love: Hulling the strawberries, blending the ingredients, and choosing festive toppings for each dish.

  • French Chocolate Sweet Potato Truffles with Kid Chef-Created Surprise Roll-ins
    Rich, fudgy chocolate bites with a secretly smart base: mashed sweet potato. Naturally gluten-free and super hands-on.
    Kids Will Love: Mashing the sweet potatoes, stirring everything together, rolling + coating the truffles. Nestle them in mini paper cups on a festive tray, and they’ll be the stars of the holiday dessert table.

  • Easy Thai Banana Coconut Custard
    Creamy custard made with ripe bananas and coconut milk. Simple and soothing.
    Kids Will Love: Peeling + mashing the bananas, whisking the ingredients, sprinkling or drizzling something on top to make it extra fancy.

Why We Love These Recipes

These recipes prove that “gluten-free” doesn’t mean “fun-free.” On the contrary, all three are naturally gluten-free, scratch-made, and easy enough for kids to take the lead on in the kitchen. Each one leaves room for kids to add their own flourish, which boosts their creativity and kitchen confidence!
