Vegan Sticky Toffee Pudding from Lazy Cat Kitchen
Mmm, sticky toffee pudding! It’s a classic British comfort food that, unfortunately, isn’t vegan-friendly… until now, that is!
Duncan from Lazy Cat Kitchen has transformed this sweet wintry staple into a cruelty-free confection that’ll prove irresistible to all who see it, vegan or not! A moist sponge made with dates serves as the vessel for a truly amazing toffee sauce.

Frozen Gluten-Free and Vegan Peanut Butter Cup Pie from A Saucy Kitchen
Sarah from A Saucy Kitchen describes this nutty, chocolatey pie as “decadent”, and all I can do is agree!
A date- and nut-based crust plays host to a peanut butter/coconut cream center. The whole thing is then topped with a chocolate sauce and crushed peanuts. The best part? No baking required! The pie can be assembled in just 15 minutes, then put in the freezer to set.

Vegan Tofu Tiramisu from Nadia’s Healthy Kitchen
Tiramisu is one of those desserts that you just can’t help but crave. Unfortunately for us vegans, it’s also one of those desserts that’s been off-limits due to its ingredients.
Fear not! Nadia from Nadia’s Healthy Kitchen has arrived to save the day with her recipe for vegan tofu tiramisu. Tofu in a dessert may sound strange, but thanks to its silky texture and readiness to absorb whatever flavors you throw at it, it’s actually the perfect base for this delectable dessert.
To make this tantalizing tiramisu, check out the recipe here on Nadia’s Healthy Kitchen.
Vegan Aquafaba Macarons from Supergolden Bakes
Macarons are the perfect little treat for any occasion. And Lucy from Supergolden Bakes has made them vegan-friendly thanks to her use of aquafaba.
What’s aquafaba? It’s the liquid drained from a can of chickpeas, and it’s the key ingredient in these cute and colorful cookies. And no, it doesn’t make them taste like chickpeas! In fact, these vegan macarons are just about indistinguishable from the real thing.
Intrigued? I can’t say I blame you! Learn more about aquafaba and get Lucy’s magnificent macaron recipe here!
