12 desserts that don’t require flour. Because we want to remind you of all the soufflés, cheesecakes, brownies, puddings, panna cottas, creme caramels, and more that you can still make and that are just as satisfying as the more customary flour-full recipes. And they come together with ease. When life hands you flour shortages, make these. #lookforthegood
Double Chocolate Soufflés
: Christopher Hirsheimer
1/12
Individual dark chocolate soufflés that are gluten-free with a little grown-up sass in the form of a whiskey splash in the batter. Recipe courtesy of David Lebovitz.
Recipe
Flourless Almond Cake
: Amélie Roche
2/12
A French classic that's crisp and crunchy on the outside, dense and chewy on the inside, and flourless through and through.
Recipe
Gluten-Free Brownies
: Josh Weissman
3/12
These are, quite frankly, as fudgy and rich as the real deal. Despite being flourless. Swear. Make a batch and see if anyone can tell the difference.
Recipe
Coconut Panna Cotta

"The easiest panna cotta I have made." "Absolutely delicious." "Very dangerous." That's what folks are saying about this dessert.

"Luscious." "Creamy." "Incredibly delicious!" "Just the right amount of sweet." That's what folks are saying about this cheesecake.
Recipe
Wine Poached Pears
: Jennifer Davick
6/12
How to explain these wine poached pears? "Divine elegance" comes to mind. Also, easy, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, healthy, and lovely.
Recipe
Pumpkin Pots de Crème
: Colin Price
7/12
These fancy-sounding desserts are essentially creamy custards that come together with very little time or effort from half-and-half, brown sugar, pumpkin, eggs, and warm spices. So good you're gonna want them year round.
Recipe
Creme Caramel
: Laura Edwards
8/12
Similar to flan in its delicate texture, this classic creme caramel is as simple as it is sophisticated. You'd expect nothing less from the French, yes?
Recipe
Avocado Chocolate Pudding
: Elizabeth Nyland
9/12
This recipe is easy, elegant, dairy-free, gluten-free, paleo-friendly, kid-approved, and vegan. You're welcome.
Recipe
Riz au Lait ~ French Rice Pudding
: Ilva Beretta
10/12
Riz au lait is another way of saying French rice pudding. So gosh darn easy and impossible to stop eating, it's quite possibly the thing we love most about the French.
Recipe
Portuguese Tea Flan
: Helena Pereira
11/12
Creamy custard is infused with tea for an unusual take on the classic Portuguese flan. The classic caramel topping gives the dessert its depth and sweetness.
Recipe
No-Bake Cheesecake
: Guillaume Czerw
12/12
We're hearing from folks who've tried this cheesecake that it's "unbelievable" just how spectacular it is for being no-bake and no-fuss. We couldn't agree more.
