Coming at you with a round-up of my best vegan desserts ever !ย  Too often plant-based desserts get a bad rap for being too oily, dry, dense, crumbly, or dry or not tasty.

Trust me, each of these recipes proves just how delicious and indulgent vegan desserts can be. It’s really just down to a good tried-and-tested recipe and these recipes all guarantee a mouthwatering plant-based dessert thatโ€™ll be a huge hit at every party. Whether the crowd is vegan or not.

In this collection you’ll find everything from traditional pies, to indulgent celebration cakes, fudgy brownies, ice cream sandwiches and no-bake desserts for summer. I also added a section for Indian sweets for those upcoming festivities.

Enjoy and feel free to drop a comment in the comment section letting me know what your favorite recipe is. I always love hearing from you.
