]]>Preparing the filling of this pie is extremely easy and takes very little time. You will need to cook half of the blueberries and crush them a bit with a potato masher to release liquid and reduce the blueberries quite a bit. This purple reduction mixed with the cornstarch will provide the foundation for the whole blueberries and sugar that are going to be incorporated later. By doing this, the result will be a nice homogeneous filling inside the pie.
The trick to getting a vibrant and intense purple colour of the filling is the lemon juice. The lemon juice accentuates the colour of a lot of berries, that is why almost always you add a small amount of lemon juice to jams, jellies or other reductions. It is really incredible how the colour changes when you add it and after you cook it!
For this recipe, we are going to use our gluten-free pie crust recipe that yields the bottom and top layers for a 9-inch pie plate! If you haven’t seen it, you can follow this link to make it beforehand! Be aware that you need some time for the dough to cool before you can use it here. You can always try to find some pre-made gluten-free pie shells, but you would need to figure out the cooking times for those ones, as well as how much filling would work with the size of the one you have (I am sorry about that). One thing that is a must, is that the blueberry filling must be bubbling hot when you take it out from the oven, that is the signal that the filling is ready!
If you follow my crust recipe, you will need to have a 9-inch pie plate and a rolling pin to roll the crust dough. A silicone mat is really useful to prevent the dough from sticking. For the pie plate, I used a metallic one with a removable base. It allowed me to have the nice curves in the border, to have a nice browning on the bottom shell, and to remove the pie and plate it elsewhere!
You will also need a large saucepan where you can fit 600 gr of the blueberries to cook them (around 3-4 cups of blueberries) and something to press and crush the blueberries while they are cooking (like a potato masher).
Here we go with the recipe!

]]>There are several types of alfajores, some are made with a hard cookie, thin or thick, while some are made with a sponge-like cookie or the ones that we are presenting to you today, the so-called, cornstarch alfajores. You may guess why they call them like that, well… the batter is composed mainly by cornstarch (no surprise here, right?).
The awesome thing of these cornstarch alfajores is that they turn to be really soft and have a delicate a subtly sweet flavour, that they are the perfect companion for anything sweet, and that is when the dulce de leche comes to play.
The dulce de leche is a sweet spread that here will stick two cookies together and form a combination of flavour that is irresistible. Using shredded coconut, we will seal the open borders of the dulce de leche and give the alfajor a new depth of flavour!
Speaking of dulce de leche, there are several ways you can get hands-on this sweet bliss (I really love this spread). You can either find them at the store (I have seen two brands of dulce de leche on the shelves in Canada) or make it yourself! If you want to adventure in the craft of the dulce de leche, I am going to post several ways to make it in a future post, so stay tuned!
For this recipe, you will need the usual equipment that I suggest, such as the stand mixer and silicone spatula, but also you will need a rolling pin to flatten the dough, a silicone mat so you can work easier and avoid the dough sticking, and a cookie-cutter that is big enough to make the alfajores the size you want! (yes, there is no required size, just make them the size you fancy for!)
Here we go with the recipe for the softest alfajores that you will try!

]]>These little guys are really awesome. The mix of the sweet cinnamon crumble on top with the acidity of the raspberry will elevate your muffin experience.
For this recipe, I didn’t use the stand mixer as I was teaching my 10-year old nephew how to prepare them. It’s more fun this way! This is a really nice and easy recipe to make with your kids to have good family time!
Just prepare the ingredients on beforehand so you have everything ready to bake, and don’t forget to preheat your oven!
If you have a stand mixer or hand mixer, you can definitely use it for this recipe but be careful to not overmix the batter!
You will need some paper liners (either for muffin or cupcake will work) and a muffin baking tray to hold the batter together in the liner as they will grow!

]]>Since I remember, I have loved this creamy and sweet bliss and whenever I had the chance to get in my hands one of those, I would devour it! The best part of all is that it is naturally gluten-free!
This dessert is really easy to make, but you have to take some precautions because you can burn it easily. That is why I am stating that it is a medium difficulty recipe. Anyways, only a few ingredients are needed to craft this wonderful and good looking dessert!
On the recipe, I will show how to do it in the traditional way but, if you have a cooking robot such as the Thermomix, it will make things waaaaaay easier as it will do all the cooking for you without needing your presence in the kitchen 
This dessert is usually served in a glass that shows its two parts: a sweet milk custard at the bottom and a swiss meringue topped with some ground cinnamon on top.
A disclosure, the original recipe call for Oporto wine to make the meringue, but I don’t like that much how it tastes with that and I don’t think it’s worth buying a bottle to use 25 ml. So it’s up to you!
Our previous meringue recipe, the Mini Meringues, used the classical French meringue preparation which consists of adding the sugar directly to the beaten whites. This time, we are going to dissolve the sugar in the whites by slowly heating it (without reaching a temperature that coagulates (fully cooks) the whites). After all the sugar is dissolved, we are going to beat it until it is rather cool (yup, it will take some time but I promise it’s worth it!). This is why if you have a stand mixer, is the time to use it! If not, a regular hand mixer can do the trick too. By the way, did you know that this kind of meringue is used to decorate cakes and other stuff because it is the hardest and densest one?
Personally, I prefer to cool off the milk custard before adding the meringue on top (so it doesn’t dissolve). It will take a few hours to cool on the fridge so plan ahead! (don’t do the meringue on beforehand).
I promise that everyone will love it and I can’t wait for you to try it!

I have had people from a lot of nationalities to try them (really, from Canada, Germany, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, China, India, Mongolia, and I am sure I am missing more!), and the result was the same always… they just disappear.
You know what is the best part? They are so easy to make!
An important detail, to make these guys you need a stand mixer. This is because they need intense beating and by hand, you probably won’t be able to reach that point. You can do it with a hand mixer, but it will take time, patience and effort.
Ok, enough talk, lets go to the recipe!

]]>The post Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls appeared first on The Gluten-Free Corner.
]]>When I became celiac, one of my first thoughts was: “Ohh no, I loved the cinnamon rolls…”. I really love sugar-cinnamon stuff, so whenever I went through a Cinnabon store, I couldn’t manage not salivating and get hungry for one of those.
So I decided to give it a try, and the results were awesome!!!! They were moist, flaky, soft, smelled incredible and perfectly balanced with the amount of sweetness.
These things are so good that the people that tried them didn’t even notice that they were gluten-free. It is the real thing, guys!
So give them a try, you wont regret it!
An important thing to take in consideration is that you may need some time to prepare them. The dough will result sticky after proofing so it needs to be chilled. In the instructions it says that you can leave it 1 hour in the fridge, but I really recommend a few more hours, or even 12 hours or more, especially if you are new to gluten-free baking and handling these kind of doughs (really, it will make a difference!).
I’ll upload soon the step-by-step photos for the instructions!!
