Let’s talk about chocolate. While some people don’t like chocolate (who are you, very sorry we can’t be friends), I am firmly planted in the ‘love it’ camp. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always gone for the full-on chocolate desserts while eating out or grabbing a dessert at a bakery. Needless to say, I’ve always sprung for the truffles at candy shops and was pumped to be making my own vegan truffles at home. (more…)

A perfect holiday cookie, these vegan chocolate peppermint cookies are filled with chocolate chips and crushed peppermints!
Happy Friday! We are so close to the Christmas weekend, so I’m going to keep this post short and sweet. These vegan chocolate peppermint cookies are the crowning glory on my Christmas sweets for the season. I was really crossing my fingers when I made them, hoping they would turn out on the first try. Turns out, using my BFF Sarah’s vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe as a base for these was the perfect idea. They held up, didn’t require any weird egg substitutes, and didn’t require chilling time.

This soy-free vegan chocolate cream pie is made with coconut milk, a shortbread crust, and lots of chocolate. An easy vegan dessert recipe!
Here we are, the week leading up to Christmas! Depending on your stress level, it could be your favorite or least favorite week of the year, but vegan chocolate cream pie always helps, right? Usually, I’m scrambling to get last minute recipes done and finish my shopping. I’m not much of a procrastinator, but I am one of those ‘find the perfect gift’ types, so I usually search and search until there’s no time left and hurriedly order something on Amazon Prime. (more…)

Creme brulee has been one of my long-standing, hands down favorite desserts ever since I really learned how to bake. My dad loves creme brulee and as soon as I learned that it’s really not that hard to make (plus you get to use a torch!), it was one dessert that became part of my baking wheelhouse. I mean, who can resist a creamy vanilla custard base with a fun crunchy sugar topping? (more…)

I know we are drawing nearer and nearer to Christmas (and there are cookies to come!), but I don’t want to forget about brunch! I always forget that the weekends should not only be filled with cookie baking, but brunch too! I’ve been throwing together this (more…)

I couldn’t resist one last vegan dessert before Thanksgiving! While we already hosted friends over the weekend, I’m always SO excited for the day. This year, my parents are coming to visit me and we are going to make a small meal, but I mostly love handling the dessert side of things. I’ve made a version of a chocolate vegan pecan pie in the past, but it had a more oat-based crust and I wanted to make a better version, (more…)
