Delicious Vegan Desserts - You Won't Tell the Difference
When my friend turned Vegan it was a big change in his life. He became healthier, happier and more in tune with what he put in his body. He never missed the meat in his diet, and easily adapted to making great tasting breakfasts, lunches and dinner. He always told me he missed delicious desserts though. He missed the cream, butter, eggs etc... I could totally relate with him, I would hate to give up on delicious dessert treats. That said, was he right? Are there no delicious vegan desserts out there for people?
I personally think he is wrong and I have proof. A quick Google search brought up a long list of delicious vegan desserts. One web page in fact had all of the following recipes and more:
• Nanaimo Bars
• Vanilla Fudge
• Caramel Pecan Cheesecake (yes cheesecake!)
• Peanut Butter Cups
• Donuts
• Cinnamon Buns
• Strawberry Shortcakes
• Peanut Brittle
• Shortbread
• Marshmallow Crispy Treats
• Blueberry Pie
• Butter Tarts
I can not vouch for every one of the recipes but that is only one website and just a partial list. I think people are beginning to figure out how to clone their favorite desserts in a vegan manner. As grocers and producers react to the spike in public demand, so do the options available to the vegan. I am not sure how it was years ago, but now your typical delicious vegan desserts are not much different than everyone else's! They are delicious, decadent and sure to please anyone - vegan or not.
If you are thinking about going vegan, don't let something as trivial as desserts get in your way. The desserts are there, you just have to learn how to create them. There are substitutes for things like eggs and cream. I know it is hard to believe, but there is. The internet is making it that much easier to find what you need. You can find great recipes online and lists of items that are safe for vegans to eat. You will probably be surprised by some of the items even.
Vegan is a lifestyle that promotes self awareness, and an awareness of how the foods we eat are effecting our planet. Don't throw all that away because you don't think there are no delicious vegan desserts. They are out there and they are spectacular! Find them, make them and serve them to your friends,
