This Crustless Passover Cheesecake is gluten free

A traditional cheesecake is made with a graham cracker crust and those are definitely out for Passover. This means that we either need to get creative with our crust or just eliminate it all together. Instead of trying to work with gluten free graham cracker crumbs or almond flour to make a crust, we chose to go crustless.

Equipment needed

  • Stand mixer to get the ingredients mixed properly. You can also use an electric mixer for this if you don't have a stand mixer. You need to make sure the batter is aerated in order to make it fluffy.
  • Spring form pan is really the best way to make cheesecake. It holds the batter in during baking and is easy to take off when the cheesecake is done. If you made Passover Chocolate Mousse Cake then you are no stranger to using a spring form pan.

How to make Crustless Passover Cheesecake step by step

Step 1 - Beat the cream cheese

Using a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until it is...well...creamy. Some recipes add one cup sour cream a this point but we do not find that it adds anything to this recipe.

Add sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest to the cream cheese and mix again until fully blended.

Step 2 - Add the eggs

Add one egg and mix again until fully blended. Do the same for each egg as well as the egg yolks. Adding the eggs one at a time in this way insures that they are fully incorporated into the batter.

Mix in the cream.

Step 3 - Prepare the pan and pour the batter.

Cut the parchment paper to fit the bottom of the spring form pan. Parchment paper helps to make sure no cheesecake sticks to the bottom of the pan. The best way to do this is to take the bottom of the pan and place it on top of a square of parchment paper. Then take a pen or pencil and trace around the edge of the pan bottom. Finally, cut out the traced circle, reassemble the pan, and place the circle inside of the pan.

Step 4 - Bake and cool

Cover with foil and Bake at 400ºF for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 200 and then finish baking for one hour. After the cook time has completed, turn the oven off and open the oven door slightly and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another 30 minutes. When the cheesecake is done make sure to let it cool for at least 6 hours but ideally overnight. This will allow the cheesecake to firm up and give it its signature texture. If you cut into it too soon it will be runny and disappointing.

Recipe FAQ

Is cheesecake filling gluten free?

Yes. The gluten in most cheesecake recipes comes from the crust which is usually made from graham crackers or crushed up cookies. Cheesecake filling is naturally gluten free unless there are ingredients containing gluten added. You should always check the label or recipe if this is a concern.
