Desserts can be a treat for everyone, including those with dietary restrictions. If you're gluten intolerant or simply mindful of your gluten intake, there's no need to sacrifice taste. Experience the joy of gluten-free desserts. Check out how we make our popular blueberry cream cheese squares featuring a crunchy walnut crust and topped with juicy local blueberries from Radke's Blueberries.
These squares combine a creamy no-bake cheesecake filling, a nutty walnut base, and the fresh zest of blueberries. Not only are they delicious, but they also make for a stunning dessert that is sure to impress at any gathering.

The Perfect Gluten-Free Crust
A satisfying gluten-free crust starts with a simple ingredient: walnuts. These nuts provide a lovely crunch and a nutty flavor that pairs seamlessly with the creaminess of the filling.
We begin by finely grinding walnuts. After creating the walnut meal, we mix it with powdered sugar and egg whites. This combination yields a crumbly dough that holds together well.
We press the mixture firmly into a greased sheet pan, making sure to create a level base. This commitment to detail ensures an even crust after baking to a lightly golden brown.
Creamy and Dreamy Cheesecake Filling
We start with quality cream cheese and fine bakers sugar creamed together, a touch of almond extract sets this apart from your typical no bake cheesecake, and pairs well with the fresh blueberries.
Topping with Local Blueberries
Each full sheet pan is covered with 5 pounds of Radke's Blueberries that are not only ripe and flavorful, but they are also an excellent source of antioxidants. Their vibrant color greatly enhances the visual appeal of the squares.
Once the cheesecake filling sets up, the squares are then cut and individually papered with care and put out for sale. These can be custom ordered to be cut into different sizes or even into smaller triangles to better serve a large group.

Sweet Ending
These gluten-free blueberry cream cheese squares with a walnut crust are perfect for social occasions, family gatherings, or even as a special treat at home. With a rich cheesecake filling complemented by the burst of local blueberries, this dessert is bound to become a new favorite.
