Think fluffy and light, sharp and sweet. This apricot tart will have even non-vegans begging for another piece. Make it the day before and just wait and see how it will blow your guests away.
Cherries pack their own punch of deliciousness, but when almonds join the dessert fray, you can count on presenting a cake that will impress everyone. Cherries and almonds are a classic combination for a surefire vegan win.

Caramelized bananas and a walnut crust elevate this tasty treat above yesterday’s banana cream pie. This modern take tastes so rich and extravagant, no one will guess that it’s also gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
You put the lime in the coconut and OMG! A tangy summer treat that can be enjoyed chilled or frozen. Don’t even think about preheating the oven, this baby is a no-bake blessing from above.
Knock knock. Who’s there?
A whole lot of coconut. It’s what makes this tart so completely unique. Then the raspberries arrive and bring their sassy tartness. Together, they make a flavor combination you won’t soon forget.
When the homey goodness of banana bread meets the frosty lusciousness of ice cream cake, I’m totally accepting that invitation. This recipe revolutionizes both desserts in a way that might just ruin their individual incarnations forever.

Can’t take a trip to the tropics? Skip the trip and make this delicious recipe for mango and coconut panna cotta instead. Imagine two layers, one tart, one sweet, coming together to make the perfect bite.
Cool lime and rich coconut work their magic in this vegan version of a key lime pie. It has the graham cracker crust with a lime zesty middle that no one in the world would guess uses tofu.
Chocolate and fruit combinations are everywhere, but with blueberry? Yes, please! Make this cake and its cashew custard cream and let the sophisticated flavors fool you into forgetting it’s gluten-free, vegan and low fat.
Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches
It’s a pie. No, it’s an ice cream sandwich. No! It’s a pie!! Wait! It’s both! What citrus wizard could conjure such a dessert concoction? It’s delicious and you won’t have to churn a thing.
You’ll never lose with fresh blackberries, but then it’s hello caramel, and that’s when things get seriously delectable. But don’t worry, it’s not sugar that makes the pie’s caramel layer so good—it’s medjool dates!
Summertime in a muffin—think lemonade in vegan muffin form, topped with creamy strawberry icing. Take a bite and you’d swear you’re on a porch swing, talkin’ about the good ole days with the folks back home.
Introducing a five-ingredient, super easy vanilla pudding—an essential recipe for those supporting dessert roles. You need a bottom layer for fresh berries? Done. You have a slice of vegan lemon cake that needs a friend? Done. The possibilities are endless.
