Desserts
Just because you follow a plant-based diet, doesn’t mean you can’t indulge your sweet tooth every once in a while. From baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pies to homemade ice cream and sorbets, these vegetarian and vegan dessert recipes feature less dairy and empty calories than the average sweet treat.
Mini No-Bake Matcha Tea Cheesecakes
Do you ever feel guilty after eating something sweet? Well, this mini cheesecake recipe is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without overindulging. Not only does it include a comprehensive green superfood powder, its filling is primarily cashews—who knew?
Chocolate Banana Bread
Go bananas and add some cocoa and chocolate chips to your banana bread. Now you can have your chocolate and eat it, too!
Blueberry Cobbler
Cobblers are made by dolloping a biscuit dough topping over fruit, then baking until the biscuits are tender and chewy in the center, but crisp on top. If you don't have time to make our topping, just lay 8 prepared biscuits (refrigerated or frozen and thawed) over the fruit and sugar mixture. Frozen blueberries also work well here.
Chocolate Treats to Make This Holiday Season
From cookies and candy to luscious homemade sorbet, chocolate makes the best holiday treats
Berry Chia Pudding
Don't deprive yourself of luscious desserts. Replace sugary treats with healthier options — like this fruit-based dessert — that still taste good
Tricky Desserts Made Vegan (and Easy)
You can still satisfy your sweet tooth without dairy or eggs. These three fancy, party-worthy desserts are easy to make and don't require a lot of hard-to-find ingredients.
Raspberry-Lime Panna Cotta
This chilled dessert, usually made with gelatin and heavy cream, is a classic in Italian cuisine. Our vegan version is thickened with agar, a gelatin substitute derived from algae; you'll find it most natural foods stores or Asian markets.
Profiteroles with Espresso Creme
Pâte à choux dough is a very egg-rich dough that can then be filled with luscious creamy pastry cream custard. These profiteroles are made with vegan eggs and butter to create a rich and creamy dessert.
Baklava Custard Tart
The subtle vanilla and sweetness from the custard perfectly complements a punchy and flavorsome baklava filling.
Notella Christmas Tree
The perfect Christmas dessert (or indulgent breakfast?), this looks beautiful and is so much fun to make. Store leftover chocolate hazelnut spread in sterilized jars. Or double-batch the spread as it will keep in the fridge for up to a month. Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves for extra festive flavor.
Lemon Quinoa Bites
Typically, quinoa is used as a savory base in recipes, but it’s also versatile enough to be used for sweet treats! Instead of going for rich flavors like chocolate, these bites have a light and refreshing lemon flavor.
