Vegan chocolate mousse

Silken tofu is the secret ingredient in this smooth, creamy and totally plant-based chocolate mousse. It's just as indulgent as the classic version, so everyone at the table will love it, vegan or not.

Vegan apple crumble

All you need to do is swap butter for melted coconut oil to make a comforting vegan apple crumble. This one is flavoured with warming cinnamon.

Vegan sticky toffee pudding

Let warming spices and a rich toffee sauce (made with homemade cashew cream) do the talking with this vegan sticky toffee pudding recipe.

Vegan chocolate cheesecake

Top a fudgy Oreo biscuit base with silken tofu and dark chocolate for a rich, plant-based cheesecake.

Vegan eton mess

Who'd have thought aquafaba (the liquid found in a tin of chickpeas) could make such glossy, chewy meringue? Pair it with coconut yogurt and lots of berries for a great vegan mess.

Vegan French toast

A maple-cinnamon glaze helps crisp up the toast and caramelise the edges in this sweet french toast recipe which just happens to be vegan.

Vegan lemon meringue pie

Now everyone can enjoy a slice of lemon meringue pie, thanks to Tom Adams’s impressive vegan recipe.

No-churn vegan banana ice cream

Dairy-free, no-churn, no-effort ice cream. What’s not to love? Once you’re confident with the process, try experimenting with different flavours.

Whole roasted pineapple in spiced caramel

Check out this impressive whole roasted pineapple with caramel sauce. Try to find a ripe pineapple (make sure the outside is golden, not green) but if you can’t, keep one near bananas for a couple of days to ripen it.

Vegan lemon loaf cake

A delicate, zingy lemon cake made without eggs, milk or butter! The key to that lemony tang is a decent lemon extract (we use Nielsen-Massey).

Vegan meringues

It sounds mad, but it does work, believe us! The brine from a tin of chickpeas (called aquafaba) takes over from eggs in this meringue recipe.

Rum-roasted pineapple and spice pie

Try our impressive pie recipe for an easy vegan dessert. The vegan pastry is deliciously crisp and crumbly, with extra texture from the chia seeds. Plus, it's packed with rum-soaked roasted pineapple and plenty of spice.

Dairy-free coconut, mango and turmeric fool

These are light and delicate puddings. The coconut and mango combination is really refreshing and you don't even notice it's dairy-free because of the creaminess of the coconut cream. Also, the addition of turmeric adds a zingy flavour.

Thyme, elderflower and lemon ice lollies

These thyme, elderflower and lemon ice lollies make great grown-up desserts in the summer. You can make this recipe into a cordial too, just reduce the water to 750ml and strain into sterilised jars.
