As a vegan, it can sometimes be difficult to find dessert recipes that cater to your needs, especially since some of the most popular dessert options out there contain dairy products.
As a result of this, the demand for dessert options and recipes that are void of any animal products has increased massively as the number of people turning vegan has increased too.
So, whether you’re a full-time vegan, or even just looking to cut back on the consumption of animal products, we’ve created this guide to some of the best vegan dessert recipes out there.
You should have no issues finding the ingredients for the recipes we feature on this list, and no matter whether you’re someone who is regularly making their own food in the kitchen, or you’re relatively new to creating vegan dishes, anyone should be able to make these recipes.
Just because you’ve gone vegan, it doesn’t mean that you have to forego the delicious taste of chocolate cake, and with this recipe, you definitely won’t need to.
Featuring a luxurious tasting sponge, and a chocolate frosting that will taste better than any you’ve had before, this is truly the perfect chocolate cake(see also: A Perfect Pasta Cake. Yes, You Read That Right).
If you’ve ever tried store-bought vegan cake before, you know that quite often while the frosting and the topping of the cake can taste nice, the sponge itself can taste slightly weird.
This is partially down to the preservatives used in the sponge, but also because no cake tastes as good from the store as it does when you’ve made it at home.
Whether you’re looking to make a delicious vegan cake (see also: Crepe Cake)for a birthday or special occasion, or perhaps you’re just someone who really loves chocolate cake, but have recently become vegan, this cake is here to solve all of your issues.
We all know what it’s like when you’re looking for the right recipe to warm your heart and soul, and what better way to do so than with an amazing vegan apple crumble?
Nothing is better than the combination of perfectly cooked apples, warming cinnamon, and a topping that is formed of oats and brown sugar for that perfect level of crispiness.
This crumble is perfect for any occasion really, and it doesn’t matter what time of year it is either, as you can always find some delicious apples to use in your crumble, but the fresher the better.
If you haven’t got enough energy to make a full-blown apple pie, then making an apple crumble is a great low-effort compromise, and tastes just as good too.
So if you’re in need of a soul-warming vegan dessert to help brighten up your evening, try this recipe out sometime.
