Is Cheesecake Gluten Free?

    Is Cheesecake Gluten Free?

    Traditional cheesecake is typically gluten-free in its basic form, as the main ingredients (cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and sometimes sour cream) do not contain gluten. However, the graham cracker crust commonly used in cheesecakes does contain gluten, so a truly gluten-free cheesecake would need to use an alternative crust made from gluten-free ingredients or omit the crust entirely.

    What is Tolerase® G?

    A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
    Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

     

    Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

    In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

    This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

    On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

    What is Gluten?

    Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

    How Tolerase® G Works

    It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

    Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

    Gluten Free Alternatives
    Here are five gluten-free alternatives to traditional cheesecake, along with short descriptions:
    Ricotta Cheesecake:A lighter, Italian-style cheesecake made with ricotta cheese instead of cream cheese. It has a slightly grainy texture and can be naturally gluten-free when made with almond flour or cornmeal crust.
    No-Bake Cashew Cheesecake:A vegan and gluten-free option made from soaked cashews, coconut oil, and natural sweeteners. It's creamy, rich, and can be flavored in various ways. The crust is typically made from nuts and dates.
    Greek Yogurt Cheesecake:A protein-rich alternative using strained Greek yogurt as the main ingredient. It's tangier and lighter than traditional cheesecake. The crust can be made from crushed gluten-free cookies or nut-based mixtures.
    Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse:A fluffy, airy dessert that captures the flavors of cheesecake and pumpkin pie. Made with cream cheese, pumpkin puree, and whipped cream, it's naturally gluten-free and can be served in individual portions without a crust.
    Cottage Cheese Cheesecake:A high-protein, lower-fat alternative using cottage cheese as the base. It has a slightly different texture but still maintains a creamy consistency. The crust can be made from ground nuts or gluten-free graham crackers.
