I made a gluten-free version of this recipe over the weekend, and wanted to share my results in case anyone else is interested.

I omitted the flour from the crust. It held together fine, but was way too buttery. Next time, I would cut the butter down to 4 tablespoons.

In the cheesecake, I substituted cornstarch for the flour. In the original recipe, the amount of cornstarch should be half the flour, so 1/2 tablespoon. In my case, I forgot to buy the heavy cream. I deduced that since I would be omitting said cream, I should decrease the thickening agent, too. I used 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and it worked beautifully.

Very yummy. Everyone loved it!

The flour is a thickener for both parts of the recipe. In that case, corn starch would be a fine substitute. For the crust, you may be able to leave it out entirely. Another good flour you might want to use is tapioca flour, which I use instead of wheat flour quite often, but make sure the person with celiac disease is fine with it. I am pretty darn sure it has no gluten, but it’s always better to know ahead of time.

I had bookmarked this to save it for my hubby’s birthday in September, because he loves cheesecake AND mangoes. However, a family member has celiac disease, so I try to make celebratory desserts gluten-free when possible. How critical is the flour in the crust? In the cheesecake, is it a thickener/stabilizer? Could I use a little cornstarch in the cheesecake instead?
