I wrote this recipe a few years ago. It was one of the most delicious desserts I’ve made and this coming summer, I am definitely making it again! It consists of three layers: a gluten free sponge cake, chocolate cheesecake layer and an Amurula Cream layer.
The Dessert is quite time consuming but trust me, totally worth the end result!
Ingredients needed
For this recipe you need a good blend of gluten free flour. I would suggest one that contains white rice flour, tapioca and potato starch. I use erythritol as my sugar substitute but if you don’t mind the sugar, use regular white granulated sugar.
Enjoy this yummy dessert for your next dinner party!
