Beth Mickens :

My favorite Vegan Desserts are usually filipino. I love the ones which are made from sweet rice like Puto which is a steamed sticky rice muffin. I also love fried plantains or Ginataan, which is sweet fruit and sweet veggies in coconut milk. But I am addicted to Crispy Cat's Dark Chocolate, Coconut and Mint candy bars and Vegan Lunchbox's Triple Chocolate Cupcakes..those babies are to die for. I made them for my birthday and no one knew they were vegan. The best!

Amanda G :

My favorite vegan dessert is instant pudding mix made with soy milk. Instead of waiting 5 mins for it to chill, wait 24 hrs. It is just like the dairy kind. I'll also cook chocolate cake and muffins. Dessert is my one weakness :)

My absolute favorite vegan dessert is carrot cake. It is also my downfall because it is far too easy to make. lol.

My favorite vegan dessert is the "Apricot-Glazed Almond Cupcakes" from "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World." These are sinfully delicious and they just melt in your mouth. Oh man I could eat a whole batch in one sitting.

My idea of dessert is granola with rice milk. But if we're taking decadent, rich, goodness, then I'd have to go with a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie.

Danielle :

A big bowl of fresh fruit! Easy, healthy, and delicious.

Kristin :

Oh sweet! (heh). My fave has to be rice pudding made with coconut milk and pistachios. Yum!

Leuise :

I love German chocolate cake. It is soooo good! :-)

camille westermajer :

The very best dessert especially in the summer is the strawberry rhubarb pie I make with my own home grown rhubarb. I love the leaves and the exuberant way the plant grows and the seed head is beautiful, too!

A nice, hearty vegan apple crisp always puts a smile on my face :)

Myrrha :

Beetroot cake!

Katie :

I have a great recipe for chocolate pudding pie that is vegan and delicious!

It is impossible to narrow all the delicious vegan desserts out there to a favorite, but at the top of the list is definitely vegan eggnog cheesecake (recipe compliments of FFVK)! I make it every year around christmas time and the whole family loves it.

My favorite has to be homemade key lime cheeze cake!! Great summer treat.

Susie :

My favorite vegan dessert is a glass of rice milk with Babycakes Cupcake tops because after all - the frosting is the best top of the cupcake. Later, I can go back and eat the cake for your dessert's dessert (if they're out of the by-themselves cupcake tops...).

crash :

My favorite vegan dessert would have to be my very own, super healthy, oatmeal cookies! Sound boring? Think again! I use goji berries, filberts, flax, wheat germ to boost the health benefit of the cookies and I spice them with cardamom and ginger. A new twist on an old fav!

My favorite vegan dessert to date (and I am sure there are many more out there to discover!) is a Dark Chocolate Torte, found at Sweet Life Patisserie in Eugene, OR....dark, rich, light, not overly sweet.....sinfully delicious!

Theresa Cole :

rice pudding made with coconut milk, tasty!

Viana :

carob and date squares are delish.

Steve :

I grew up eating a vegan chocolate cake long before I ever knew what a vegetarian was! No eggs, no butter, no milk, but absolutely one of the best chocolate cakes you'll ever have, especially with peanut butter frosting!


I love grilling pineapple rounds, drizzling melted vegan chocolate over the tops, and then sprinkling crushed hazelnuts on the sticky chocolate.

Arielle :

That would be such a wonderful addition to my cookbook collection! I love baking

Suzanne :

My favorite vegan dessert is the peanut butter pie on the vegcooking website. First of all, it's delicious. Second of all, it's packed with protein and is relatively low on fat. Third, it's a great way to bring up a discussion about veganism. I let a friend try a piece, and when they say how good they think it is, I add, "Yeah, and did you know it's vegan too?" It's a way of talking about veganism that is very unintimidating.

Shannon :

My kids love a vegan oatmeal style cookie I found a recipe for a few months ago. My son likes to pack them in his lunchbox and our little girl has been known to sneak a cookie or two in the morning before we get out of bed!

Nancy Reid :

Sweet Potato souffle is my winner

christine :

Vegan chocolate cupcakes! The absolute best!

Rose :

Anything that involves Chocolate!!!! I also have a gluten allergy so I love Baby Cakes for opening in NYC. I will work my way through the whole bakery and taste all that I can. I keep telling my friends/
family to go vegan - they will not be missing out on anything. I make good receipes when they eat at my house and they enjoy it

Babbette Sandoval :

My favorite vegan sweet is the Coconut-Lemon Bundt cake from Isa C.'s Veganomnicon. I have yet to make it in a bundt pan, but it's ALWAYS so very delish to the last crumb(or coconut shred)!!!

Andrea :

Hii everyone!!!
well my favorite dessert is vegan chocolate cupcakes..the best !!! yummy!!!!!

xoxo !

Wendy :

Vegan carrot cake!

Appropriately enough, chocolate cupcakes! Moist and on the bitter side, with real cocoa, but with CRAZY fattening coconut oil-based icing. YUM. You could easily catch me in a bear trap with a vegan dessert cookbook. Or a cupcake.

Jackie :

I remember when I spent a long time in the kitchen with my mom trying to make the perfect vegan tiramisu. It didn't taste like the non-vegan counterpart, but it was definitely it's own kind of YUM!

Amanda :

The best I've had so far was caramel apple cheesecake from VeganTreats. It's a combination of my two favorites: apple pie and cheesecake!!

Johanna Woodbury :

I really love blending up some homemade banana ice cream. I blanch some almonds to remove the skin, and then I "whiz" them in the blender with some water to make some homemade almond milk. Then I add the frozen bananas and a little nutmeg. Delicious!!!

Brendan Haddock :

I am not vegan yet, but sure am thinking about it!!

My dream vegan desert? Try this.

Pancakes With Ice Cream, Bacon, Maple Syrup and Chocolate shavings.


The Pancake Recipe is:

1 Cup Flour
3/4 Cup Sugar
4 Tablespoons Of Butter Replacement
Egg replacer for 2 eggs
1 and a half teaspoon baking powder
3/4 Cup Soymilk

Fold it all together, try to keep it really really light. Then put it in a hot pan with a generous amount of olive oil, should be rather crispy on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside.

Add some tempeh, soybean ice cream and some dairy-free "milk" chocolate shavings, and you have a cruelty-free dream on a plate!

VEGAN CUPCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥

Nancy Wolff :

When I visited my daughter in Austin, we went to this out-of-the-way vegan bakery, where we indulged in their fantastic vegan carrot cupcakes. Sadly the bakery is no longer in business, but I remember how wonderful they were.

My favourite vegan dessert are chai latte cupcakes from VCTOTW, but actually lots of fresh strawberries make me happy as well.

Rachel :

My favorite is vegan peanut butter chocolate cheesecake.

Sarah :

My favorite vegan dessert are vegan avocado cupcakes. The avocado replaces the eggs and makes for richer and more delectable chocolate cupcake!

Natalie Khoo :

I LOVE VEGAN OREO-CHEESECAKE!
I love a blend of half tofu, half vegan cream cheese-- creamy and decadent, yet relatively less fat! Crunchy organic oreo-like sandwich cookies add a great chocolatey flavor ( :

Hayley :

My favorite vegan dessert is a white cake made with pancake mix and "buttercream" frosting. The cake recipe was from an old kid's cookbook at an auction. Yum!

Shelby :

I love vegan Carrot Cake! it's the perfect balance between sweet and spicy.

Emmaline :

My favorite dessert is vegan ice cream with banana slices on top.

Fiona :

My favourite vegan dessert would have to be... apple-oatmeal-cinnamon cookies! They're so simple and delicious.

Athena :

tofutti mint chocolate chip icecream sandwiches.

Heidi :

My fav vegan dessert is carrot cake with vegan cream cheese frosting- yummy!

Kelli :

I love vegan "cheesecake" made with tofu. So creamy and delish it's better than the real thing! Top with mint leaves and fresh berries, and it's gorgeous to look at as well.

Lesley :

Just plain old berries are the best vegan dessert there is!

Bhavik patel :

Vegan Chocolate cake with vegan chocolate chips in it.

Tanya :

I found this recipe for these incredible Carrot Cake Cupcakes but rather than the tired old cream cheese frosting, they have an orange creamy frosting and candied carrot curls on top. Yum-o! The recipe wasn't vegan when I found it, but I changed it up to be for me and these cupcakes are just to die for!

Purely Decadent's coconut frozen dessert, it's vegan & made from coconut milk. Vanilla and coconut are my top flavors! This stuff is so addictive and they make coconut milk yogurt too...

Jessika D'Lorge-Harnisch :

I don't have a favorite vegan recipe up til now, that's why I am in desperate need of this cookbook!! Plus, I am trying to convince my husband vegan is the way to go, and since he has quite a sweet tooth I need some help with showing me there are still tons of yummy options to be eaten! :-)

Cat! =^-^= :

Sarabot :

brownies or vegan ice cream cake!

virogirl :

My favorite is fresh strawberries, but my family favorite is freezer peanut butter cups :-)

I just made some peanutbutter cupcakes from "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World" and they were DELICIOUS. More moist than any cruelty-cupcake that I've ever had. My non-veggie boyfriend loved them as well. He now eats them 24 hours a day... haha!

Nathaniel Ed :

My favourite vegan dessert is vegan rice crispy treats!

I had them at our vegan potluck... they're made with agave nectar (I think) instead of marshmallows.

Molly :

I love cheesecake of any type..Best with a cuppa of decaf coffee or tea.....

Logan :

Vegan Banana Dream Pie =)
Delicioso!!!

Yolanda Gelo :

I am new to this veggie way and it difficult to change 50+ years, I have only had a couple of vegan desserts, in fact I never had too many regular desserts. My granddaughter and I had the best and biggest chocolate cupcake from Patty Cake's a vegan bakery here in Columbus.

Annie :

My favorite vegn dessert has to be grilled pineapple with sugar and cinnamon. I'm so happy that fruits are vegan hehe.

Usually, my favorite vegan dessert depends on the season - in the summer I love love love coconut ice creams and sorbets; in the fall, enjoy harvest pies; in the winter gimme cake and warm brownies; and in the spring, give me anything with strawberries!!! :)

Jean Salo :

I very recently discovered that I have Celiac's Disease, and so have had to rethink my diet. I am a baker, and the hardest thing has been recreating my favorite recipes in a gluten-free form. I also have several good friends that are vegans, and so I've made some of my recipes vegan as well so I can share goodies with them. My favorite, so far, are my vegan, gluten-free Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. They come out just wonderfully! But of course, I'm still exploring new baking possibilities, recipes and techniques, so who knows what my favorite will be next week?

Do I have to pick one? Okay, how about two. Pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes with cinnamon icing - dreamy, yum-yum. Then there's vegan peanut butter fudge - to die for, I lie not.

maureen :

Love the chocolate cake make with vinegar! Yum!

Melissa Dao :

My friend told me about this site since I've decided to make the best choice for myself to become vegan! So far I'm enjoying my life better and I absolutely love this site because I'm now starting to cook for myself instead of eating my mother's food (all meat)! I'm proud to have come this far and I've saw the episode on Martha about BABYCAKES and I must say I love it soo much! I hope I can win this book (hopefully it will be one of my first book about vegan desserts)! I love baking and especially desserts! So far I love making the vanilla cupcakes with no eggs or dairy products! And as a student teacher at lot of students can't eat any meat products so this would absolutely wonderful to have in the classroom to make for my students and parents to enjoy vegan desserts!

* Thank you Erin McKenna for developing theis vegan recipes cookbook for me and my students to enjoy!

lynnette :

i loveeee love brownies and cupcakes with delicoius icing!!

miss muffin of doom :

My favourite vegan dessert would have to be ANYTHING from babycakes! Yum! :)

Yvonne :

My favorite dessert is Vegan Chocolate Cake with Vegan Chocolate Frosting. (Made with organic, Fair Trade Chocolate of course.)

Victoria :

This is a unique combination, but it's very good: Strawberry soymilk (made by mixing Vanilla Soymilk with copious amounts of strawberry syrup) and Enjoy Life brand snickerdoodle cookies.

A :

I just discovered a soy yogurt I love..... that sprinkled with granola is my new favorite treat!
-A

Caroline Simpson :

A while ago my mom came across my great grandmother’s chocolate cake recipe from the Oklahoma Dust Bowl. Our prognosis was that during the depression eggs and dairy were not easy to come by so she interpreted this cake for her children's delight (all 10 of them!)

This dessert has not only sentimental value but is also truly delicious! Not too sweet, it's just right. I use a vegan ganche frosting for an updated twist!

My favorite vegan dessert is either chocolate chip cookies or brownies.

Vegan brownies... yumm!!

Anya :

Chocolate covered fruit of any kind (strawberries are my favorite)!

They are perfect for parties, easy to make and eat, with a glass of champagne on a hot summer night, refreshing, and healthy.
The best part about them is that they help us spread the vegan word: Our non-vegan friends will be able to make them at home for their own parties, using vegan chocolate chips and margarine without having to go "out-of-their-way" - making it all the more likely that they will create these desserts - over and over and over again :)


and a vegan idea that our non-vegan friends can replicate when they are at home wi

Mel :

OMGOSH! thats so cool...i just made vegan vanilla and chocolate frosting cuocakes yesterday!

Andrea :

My favorite vegan dessert is anything that involves peanut butter! I'm a relatively new vegan and I'm still looking for good recipes and experimenting!

Diane :

I am new to the vegetarian diet. I love cookies and brownies that are made with all natural, organic ingredients. I would love a copy of this book because I need new wonderful baking ideas to help me enjoy yummy snacks but be healthy and safe for the environment. Please consider me!

My favorite vegan dessert is peanut butter chocolate brownies. I just take any vegan brownie recipe and sub in the peanut butter for the oil. It is AMAZING.

Rene C. :

Vegan chocolate brownie's, cupcakes, or anything chocolate!!

Virginia :

There's a wonderful restaurant near my home that has the absolute best chocolate chip cookies ever. Plus, they're vegan! The cookies are always warm and are the perfect balance of soft, gooey, and crispy. Classic and delicious!

Phyllisia :

By far the best desert ever is homemade vegan apple pie. Scratch everything, organic granny smiths, and fresh ground cinnamon(I always add extra because I love it so much).
Serve it with a nice scoop of your favorite vegan vanilla ice cream and you're good to go for life.
Actually one of the best parts is making the slits in the top crust. We watched the independent film Pi in Calculus so I baked a pie and carved integrals and derivatives into it. My nonvegan boyfriend and all my other nonveg buddies loved it!!

Laura :

i love graham and carob crust, vanilla soy pudding, and berry topped pie!

caroline nie :

Pick just one? well... id have to say my vegan peanut butter choc chip cupcakes!

Jessica Qsar :

My favorite vegan dessert is chocolate love balls. They are vegan and raw! I make them by combining raw, organic cocoa powder and cacao powder with agave nectar, coconut oil and cocnut butter. Roll them into balls and then roll them in goji berries, cinnamon, fresh grated coconut or your favorite kind of chopped nuts and refridgerate! DELICIOUS!

Alisa :

Whole Foods vegan almond cookie - unbelievable

meagan :

I'm sorry,I lived around the corner from Babycakes for a few years and ate their cupcakes many,many times. While,I'm happy to know that they have made vegan,sugar and wheat free cupcakes,known and loved to many,I have never liked their cupcakes much. I can only eat 1/2 at a time,having to wait several hours,at least.Their cupcakes make my stomach sick,and I'm not the only one who says this. I make much better,and lighter tasting,cupcakes then they do,using pretty much the same ingredients. I do like their cookies,though( I make better ones,though.not to be bragging.)

gayle :

Blueberry peach crisp!!!!

Vegan apple pie!

Julie Sheridan :

I love all vegan desserts, but if I had to choose, I'd say either vegan cheesecake or pecan pie. Mmmmm.......

I am a dessert person. I love everything. If it was cake or death, I would pick a vegan cheesecake, any flavor and green tea cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.

My favourite would be,

Irene :

My favourite dessert, even before I became a vegan, is fresh fruit salad. In Spanish we call it "macedonia" because in old Macedonia people from different places and ethnias lived together, like fruits in a fruit salad! In Spain we usually soak the chopped fruits on orange or strawberry juice and eat it with a spoon. It's surely the first recipe I learned by helping my mom in the kitchen!

I have two favorites and they are chocolate walnut brownies, and cornbread! Brownies are my favorite and when I went vegan I was afraid I would not find a vegan brownie recipe, boy was I wrong! They are more healthier, and taste better. As my granddaughter says, "nummy nums".

I love making brownies...duncan hines! They are vegan, and I use applesauce instead of eggs for the batter! They taste yummy:)

Cecilia Bridges :

I love chocolate. I also am diabetic so I need sugar-free chocolate. My idea of heaven is one where anything made of chocolate is calorie-free, fat-free, guilt-free and doesn't make you gain five pounds just by looking at it. I also enjoy fresh fruits sweetened with honey. And lastly...fruit pizza with a chocolate sauce drizzled over all...mmmmmmm.
