If you have a sweet tooth for fruit desserts, you’ve come to the right place. This comprehensive list of the best vegan dessert recipes has a little bit of everything. If you like to bake desserts, you’ll wanna check out the cakes, pies, and cookie recipes. If you prefer no-bake desserts, there’s a few recipes for you too. I’ve categorized them all so it’s easy to jump to the recipe you’re looking for. Or you can just peruse the list for some drool-worthy content.
I’m going to share a very unpopular opinion now. I used to hate desserts with fruit. I knowwwww what a weirdo right? I always just preferred chocolate, caramel, mint, coconut, and peanut butter, in my desserts. But, over the past 5 years or so, I’ve been opening my mind to new flavors.
If you’re anything like me, you might find a couple desserts in this list to change your mind. The one that converted me was my chocolate orange cake. I hope you find an equally mind and tastebud-blowing recipe here that changes your life.
