The variety of vegan desserts seems endless. Here are 10 vegan dessert recipes you absolutely must try.

First on the list is a classic chocolate cake. This rich, decadent cake gets its fudgy texture from mashed bananas, while cocoa powder provides intense chocolate flavor. Frost it with a creamy chocolate frosting made from coconut milk, confectioners’ sugar, and cocoa for a showstopping vegan dessert.

Next is cheesecake. Cashews blended until smooth and creamy provide the base for this vegan cheesecake. It has a subtle tang from lemon juice and nutritional yeast, which gives it a cheese-like flavor. Top it with your favorite fruit sauce or fresh berries.

Vegan peanut butter cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Peanut butter, sugar, flour, and vegan butter are all you need for these crowd-pleasing cookies. Roll the dough into balls, press a fork into each ball to flatten, and bake until the cookies are lightly browned.

A fruit crisp is a simple, homey dessert that’s perfect for highlighting the season’s best fruit. This vegan version uses a mixture of flour, sugar, plant-based butter, and spices for the crisp topping. Below, fresh or frozen fruit like apples, berries, or stone fruit bake until bubbly.

Vegan ice cream comes in many flavors. This coconut milk-based version has a creamy, custard-like texture from blending coconut milk and cashews. The natural sweetness of coconut milk allows the flavorings, like chocolate or fresh fruit puree, to shine through. For an extra special treat, top it with chocolate or caramel sauce.

Rice pudding gets a vegan makeover with coconut milk, nut butter, and maple syrup. Arborio or other starchy rice simmers in coconut milk until thick and creamy. Then stir in peanut or almond butter for protein and maple syrup for sweetness. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla add warmth and spice.

A vegan trifle layers pound cake, custard, fruit, and whipped topping for a stunning dessert. Pound cake gets soaked in an almond milk custard, then layered with berries and coconut whipped cream. Repeat the layers and top with shaved chocolate, crushed nuts, or mint leaves.

Vegan pancakes can be enjoyed for dessert when topped with fruit, chocolate, or caramel. Fluffy pancakes made from plant-based milk, flour, baking powder, and oil get topped with your favorite toppings. For extra decadence, top them with vegan ice cream, whipped cream, and hot fudge or butterscotch sauce.

Sticky toffee pudding is a classic British dessert of moist sponge cake soaked in toffee sauce. This vegan version uses dates, plant-based milk, and molasses to provide moisture and a rich, toffee-like flavor to the cake. Serve it warm with coconut milk ice cream or custard.

Finally, don’t forget about s’mores. Graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate come together for this campfire treat. Look for vegan versions of graham crackers and marshmallows, or make your own. Melt dairy-free chocolate and marshmallows over a grill or stovetop and sandwich between graham crackers for a nostalgic dessert.
