Delicious and healthy desserts that both vegans and non-vegans will love! 

Vegan Desserts For Your Thanksgiving Spread

Whether you want something healthier after a fulfilling meal, or you’re on the lookout for something that can please everyone at the dinner table, here are some vegan desserts you should try this season! 

Paleo Keto Chocolate Mousse

Recipe from Delish 

No need to stress about oven space or cooking time with this recipe as it will only take fifteen minutes of your time. This quick chocolate mousse is the perfect make-ahead dessert. Since it is made of avocados, you do not need to worry about runny mousse either! Win-win! 

All you need to do is to whip the ingredients in a food processor or a blender, transfer it to the serving vessel of your choice and let it set in the fridge for at least an hour. The recipe calls for whipping cream but you can easily substitute it for any plant-based milk. For toppings, you can either do whipped coconut milk, toasted nuts for crunch or go simple with a sprinkle of flaky salt. Enjoy!

Vegan and Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie 

Recipe from Minimalist Baker

What’s Thanksgiving without pumpkin? This pie will complete your party spread and it only requires ten ingredients! Instead of using butter or lard in traditional pie crust, vegan butter is used as an alternative. Some shortenings are also vegan so you can use those too for that flaky pie goodness. 

Deep Dish Apple Pie

Recipe from Food Network

Just like the pumpkin pie, apple pies are a staple to a thanksgiving dinner. This recipe uses extra virgin coconut oil in the crust and filling as a substitute for butter. Top it off with a scoop of vegan ice cream for a more delicious (and guilt-free) dessert!

Vegan Thumbprint Cookies

Recipe from The Simple Veganista 

These cookies are for the end of the meal and can be accompanied by a warm beverage of your choice (a hot toddy, perhaps?). These cookies are made with almond flour and are coated with toasted crushed almonds which makes them soft and chewy. The recipe is very simple. To add extra deliciousness, you can add flavourings like cinnamon or lemon zest. 

1-Bowl Vegan and Gluten-Free Coffee Cake 

Recipe from Minimalist Baker 

Yes, you read that right. This recipe is so simple, you will only need 1 bowl to make it. I consider coffee cakes a holiday treat because it uses the same ingredients you would commonly see on your typical holiday desserts. This particular recipe uses a pecan crumble topping and it is glazed with a cinnamon swirl. What more can you ask for? This is perfect as an end-of-meal treat with a warm cup of pumpkin spice latte.
