If you are anything like me, then you started off being stuck at home with a strong desire to cook and bake and add some new recipes into the very typical daily rotation of meals. You probably stayed up until midnight on Pinterest finding desserts, healthy snacks, and meal ideas that tickled your fancy, and maybe you gave them all a try, or maybe you've been staring at them waiting for the day that you get to try them out. No, just me?
Well, regardless of whether you're like me, or you have just been looking for new things to try out and are looking for some healthier / restriction friendly alternatives to traditional desserts, I have got just the list of ideas for you! I have compiled some of my favorite pinterest pins (even though I haven't tried all of them out just yet), and some of my own personal recipes, into a list of 25 Vegan & Vegetarian Desserts for you to try.
I encourage you to not look at the words 'vegan' and 'vegetarian' and associate them with weird ingredients and harder to follow and execute recipes! You can always substitute any ingredients you may not have in your cupboard with things you DO have i.e regular butter in place of vegan butter, cane or brown sugar in place of coconut sugar, regular eggs or bananas in place of flax eggs, and so on!
Most importantly, feel free to reach out to me and let me know how these work out for you!

As a kid, I didn't understand why adults liked the taste of Tiramisu, but once I started drinking coffee and eventually espresso... It hit me. Tiramisu is like the fine wine of desserts and cakes. Except, I promise this one won't take too long since it's more of a dessert parfait than anything!
