For those looking to celebrate National Dessert Day, we’ve got you covered with this collection of vegan dessert recipes!
National Dessert Day… Who knew? The idea of October 4th as a day to celebrate all things sweet and delicious apparently originated in the early 2000s in the United States, and is now celebrated by people all over the world.
If you’re celebrating this decadent national day, you might choose to visit a vegan bakery, or simply enjoy a ready-made sweet treat from your favorite vegan brand. Some might also celebrate by sharing their favorite vegan recipes with friends and family, or by hosting a vegan dessert party.
Vegan desserts are made without any animal products, including eggs, dairy, honey, or white sugar that has been refined through animal bone char. It’s possible to make a vegan version of almost any traditional dessert, including cakes, cookies, pies, candy, and even ice cream, marshmallow, and meringue.
Vegan desserts, of course, can be just as delicious and satisfying as traditional desserts. In fact, many people find that they prefer the taste and texture of vegan desserts. As a bonus, vegan desserts can often be healthier than traditional desserts, as they don’t contain harmful animal ingredients.
If you’re looking for a delicious and satisfying way to enjoy a vegan National Dessert Day, be sure to try one of the many delicious vegan desserts below. From sumptuous and decadent pies and chocolate sweets, to healthy gluten-free and raw treats, we’ve got you covered.
