Easy vegan chocolate desserts
Easy 3 ingredient vegan brownies (GF)
Can you believe these gluten-free, vegan chocolate brownies only contain 3 ingredients? They couldn’t be easier to whip up, and these gooey brownies will definitely satisfy any chocolate cravings you have. They can even be made sugar-free…brownies for breakfast, anyone?
Vegan chocolate ice cream in a jar
Think you need an ice cream maker to make ice cream? Think again! This rich and creamy vegan chocolate oreo ice cream doesn’t require any special equipment to make! It’s as easy as mixing together just four ingredients and leaving it to freeze.
Healthy vegan chocolate sweet potato truffles (sugar-free) (gf)
If you’re looking for a quick and healthy indulgence, look no further than these vegan truffles. They are gluten- and sugar-free, plus they’re easy to make! They get their sweetness thanks to Medjool dates, rather than sugar or artificial sweetener, with the sweet potato adding some sweetness too. Plus they only take 6 ingredients to make.
Easy vegan mug brownies
If you need to satisfy a chocolate craving quickly (in minutes!), nothing beats a mug brownie. Plus, you can easily make just one serving. These easy vegan mug brownies can easily be made gluten-free, and can also be made sugar-free, using just banana to sweeten…or make them more indulgent by adding a sweetener and chocolate chips.
Easy mini vegan chocolate tarts
There’s something so perfect about mini versions of dishes, like vegan chocolate tart, that I think makes them perfect for serving to a crowd. Who doesn’t want their own dessert? This mini vegan chocolate mousse tartlets are easy and quick to make, and you can adjust the toppings to your preferences.
Vegan dark chocolate hummus
Hummus is one of my great loves. At uni I ate it multiple times a day, every day. Yet even I was surprised when an ex introduced me to the concept of a dessert hummus! And yet, somehow, it works (you can’t taste the chickpeas if you use enough chocolate!). This hummus takes it up a notch by using both cocoa powder and real chocolate – yum.
No-bake vegan chocolate cheesecake
This vegan cheesecake requires time to chill, but otherwise comes together easily and it doesn’t require baking. It uses silken tofu – an underrated ingredient, especially in desserts – to give it a soft and creamy cheesecake texture.
Easy vegan chocolate peanut butter crunch bars
These vegan chocolate peanut butter crunch bars contain only five ingredients and take only five minutes of prep time – perfect if you have a chocolate craving you need to fulfil quickly!
Vegan chocolate-covered strawberry skewers
If you’re looking for something that’s both simple and impressive, take a look at these chocolate-covered strawberries on a stick. All you need to do is melt chocolate, coat strawberries in it and then top them with whatever you heart desires! Rainbow sprinkles look especially cute, but you can use chopped nuts, coconut or more – check out the recipe for more ideas.
Vegan chocolate peanut butter stovetop cookies
What do you do when you need a cookie, but don’t have time to turn on the oven and bake them? These vegan chocolate and peanut butter stovetop cookies come to the rescue! All the joy of cookies (and chocolate, and peanut butter) without having to wait for the oven to preheat or for them to bake.
Best vegan chocolate desserts to impress
Vegan chocolate peanut butter truffle pie
This rich and indulgent chocolate peanut butter truffle pie owes its creamy texture to silken tofu. Chocolate and peanut butter are a classic combination. Serve this at a dinner party and it’s sure to impress your dinner guests, but the ingredients list is actually short and it’s easy to make!
Healthy gluten-free vegan lava cake
When it comes to vegan chocolate desserts, nothing impresses quite as much as velvety chocolate oozing out of a lava cake. This vegan lava cake is also gluten free, so you can serve it to gluten free guests!
Heart-shaped vegan chocolate cupcakes
Some of us like to express our love through baking – if that’s you, this recipe is for you. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, these light and fluffy vegan chocolate cupcakes are adorably heart-shaped (though you can easily make them normally-shaped too in a muffin tin!) and covered with a frosting made pink using beet powder for color.
Mini vegan chocolate-covered doughnuts (gluten free)
Want something cute to serve at your next party? These little bite-sized mini doughnuts make the perfect party food!
Vegan chocolate mousse
If you’ve never used aquafaba (chickpea liquid), take this as a sign. I remember being amazed the first time I whipped it up and it formed a perfect egg white-type texture. The secret to this French vegan chocolate mousse is aquafaba, and just look at that texture! Plus, it only contains two ingredients – it couldn’t be simpler to make.
Indulgent vegan chocolate desserts
Chocolate kahlua brownie chunk ice cream
This vegan chocolate ice cream rich and creamy, in spite of being dairy-free. It’s also extremely indulgent, thanks to the addition of brownie chunks and kahlua. (Kahlua and chocolate are, in my opinion, a match made in heaven!)
Salted bourbon vegan chocolate pie
At the risk of sounding like I’m a judge on the Great British Bake Off, there aren’t many desserts which aren’t improved by the addition of a bit of booze. I’m not much of a drinker, but when it comes to desserts, there’s something extra indulgent about a little bit of whisky or amaretto in a dessert. This vegan chocolate pie gets it s extra indulgent kick thanks to a couple of spoonfuls of bourbon!
Vegan brookies
What’s better than brownies or cookies? Combining them! When you can’t decide whether you’re craving a gooey chocolate brownie or a soft, crumbly chocolate cookie, simply combine the two and make these vegan brookies.
The best vegan chocolate cake
Sometimes, you just need a classic, and this is the ultimate classic. This is not just any chocolate cake. It is, according to its own creator, the BEST vegan chocolate cake – the kind of recipe we all need in our back pocket.
Vegan red wine brownies
Still working off my theory that a few drops of alcohol makes baking better (and I mean in the cake, not in a glass as you bake! ;)), these vegan brownies contain a secret indulgence – red wine. (It gives them a lovely reddish hue too!)
Vegan chocolate kahlua deconstructed roulade
The first time I made this roulade, I was disappointed it fell apart…then I tasted it, and realised it was perfect. Perhaps the kahlua made it so it couldn’t hold up to being rolled. But no matter, because the kahlua, combined with chocolate and chocolate chips, makes it the perfect indulgent dessert bowl!
Vegan gluten-free caramel shortbread bars (millionaire’s shortbread)
Do you love caramel, chocolate, and shortbread? Why not combine all three! Personally, when I have a dessert, I want it to be as indulgent as possible…like these vegan caramel shortbread bars.
