Hi all! Chef Jade here. It’s that special time of the year again when we show our appreciation for the loved ones in our life. I’ve decided to help you out with this task by listing vegan dessert recipes that are easy to make, even for the most inexperienced cook.

6 Tablespoons of unsweetened apple sauce
2 Tablespoons of cacao powder
2 Tablespoons of almond milk
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
1 Teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
¼ Teaspoon of almond extract

2 Tablespoons of coconut oil
1 Teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
⅛ Teaspoon of salt
For Toppings use:
¼ Cup of chopped pecans
Instructions
Process all of your crust ingredients with a food processor and make quite a sticky mixture.
Now, transfer your ingredients into a spring form baking dish and press it down the bottom to flatten it. Then set the mixture in the fridge while you prepare another layer.
Blend the ingredients in your blender until you obtain a consistent form.
Transfer your mixture into your cooled crust.
Refrigerate your ingredients for around 40 minutes.
Now, in order to prepare the caramel sauce, blend the ingredients in a food processor and spoon the mixture you have prepared above the cake.
Sprinkle with your toppings and let the cake freeze for around 5 to 6 hours.
To save time, for this recipe you can use small whole pears in ready-made light syrup in a jar.
Butter and flour 4 10 cm diameter ramekins. Peel the pears, keeping the tail. Slice them at the base so they stand up. With a vegetable peeler, scoop them out their heart from the bottom
Bring 50 cl of water to the boil with the raspberry jelly, sugar and vanilla pod split and scraped into a small saucepan just large enough to hold the pears upright. Place the pears upright. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes: Let them cool for 2 hours (or overnight) in their syrup.
Drain the pears. Slip inside each 1 square of chocolate broken in half.
Chop the chocolate with a knife.
Melt it with the butter in a bain-marie. Smooth the mixture. Preheat the oven to 360°F.
Whisk the vegan egg yolks with the brown sugar until the mixture is sparkling.
Add the warm melted chocolate while whisking.
Whip 4 egg whites until stiff but still soft with a pinch of salt.
Incorporate them into the chocolate mixture in several batches, lifting the mixture with floured ramekins. Place a pear in the center of each.
Bake for 12 minutes on a rack in the oven. Serve the sweets hot directly into the ramekins.
1 Teaspoon of organic sugar free, alcohol free vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons organic of hemp oil
Instructions
Place all of your ingredients together in a food processor and pulse it until you notice the almonds become diced into quite small pieces and until you obtain a consistent paste.
Spoon out the almond pasted and shape it into the form of balls with your hand.
Once your finish making balls of all of your ingredients; line the balls on a serving dish and place it in the refrigerator for around 35 minutes.
Finally, when your balls become firm, serve and enjoy your balls
Peel and cut into pieces the apples and the rhubarb.
Put them in a saucepan and cook covered over very low heat until you get compote. Remove the lid at the end of cooking to evaporate the juice if the compote seems too much liquid.
Mix the vanilla sugar with the cottage cheese
Pour a little compote into each cup then add the vegan cheese
In a food processor, mix the pumpkin seeds. Add the cocoa powder, the date paste in small pieces, the water and the ginger. Mix to combine everything and make a paste. Put everything in a terrine and finish working the dough by hand.
In tartlet molds or ramekins, put a little dough in the bottom and pack well. Fold the dough up the edges.
Prepare the lactose-free raspberry cream
Weigh 1cup of millet seeds. Rinse them under running cold water.
Put them in a saucepan with ½ liter of water. Simmer on low for 15 minutes.
Add the raspberries and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Put the preparation in the blender to make a smooth cream. Then strain the cream through a sieve and return it to the pan. Mix it with the agar-agar, whisking well and bring to the boil. Let simmer on low for 1 minute.
Add the vanilla and let cool for a few minutes, before filling the tartlets
To set the tartlets, refrigerate them for a good ½ day. Otherwise, I put them in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, before taking them out of their mold and placing them on a presentation plate.
