Gluten Free Cherry Chocolate Cookie Tart Recipe
Don’t you just love those dessert recipes that make people think you worked for hours to prepare them when really it was a snap to pull together? My gluten free Cherry Chocolate Cookie Tart is precisely such a recipe. No one will ever know you used pantry staples such as Pamela’s Ultimate Baking & Pancake Mix, canned cherry pie filling and chocolate chips to create this impressive mouth watering dessert. The cookie-like crust is soft and moist and holds together perfectly for cutting without crumbling. Leftovers store beautifully for days when covered and refrigerated.

Ingredients
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg
- 1 3/4 cups Pamela’s Wheat Free Baking & Pancake Mix (I buy large bags from amazon.com to save money)
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling OR equivalent amount of homemade cherry pie filling
- 4 oz white baking chocolate
- 2 teaspoons shortening
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Stir together powdered sugar, cream cheese, almond extract and egg. Stir in Pamela’s Ultimate Wheat Free Baking and Pancake Mix. Pat dough into 12-inch circle on an ungreased 12 inch pizza pan (place a sheet of waxed paper on top of dough for easy patting; remove waxed paper when finished patting).
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot crust. Bake 1 minute longer or until chips are melted; spread evenly. Cool 5 minutes.
- Spread pie filling over crust. Heat white baking chocolate and shortening over low heat stirring constantly until smooth; drizzle over pie filling using a teaspoon and long quick motions to create a design (see photos for example of design). Slice into wedges and serve. Cover unused portions and store in the refrigerator.

Looks nice. I would go with an oatmeal crust myself, but I am sort of oatmeal crazed anyway…lol.
Now that looks delicious!
