Chocolate Coconut Overnight Oats
Overnight oat recipes are my favorites for breakfast, it’s just waiting for you the next morning!
These taste so tropical, full of coconut and rich, but not overly so. Before serving add your favorite toppings!
Stewed Apple Walnut Chocolate Oatmeal Bowls (Gluten-Free)
The thing I like most about this recipe is that it doesn’t contain any refined sugars.
Absolutely bursting with flavor in every bite, chocolatey and great textures due to the seeds and walnuts.
Most of the sweetness comes from the dates and I recommend you get medjool if you possibly can, the taste difference between those and regular dates is worlds apart. This breakfast looks as good as it tastes.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal
Wait a minute, don’t skip past this thinking it’s all about chocolate and peanut butter.
It is! But, just give the recipe a read-through and you’ll see the handful of ingredients are super healthy, it’s not just chocolate and peanut butter.
Serve with your favorite fruits on top. It’s awesome!

Vegan Chocolate Cake Recipes
Chocolate Mint Cake
Years ago, when I first went vegan I really missed chocolate cake!
Vegan-ism wasn’t really a thing, so plant-based food wasn’t as easy to come by in terms of different recipes. I wish I had something like this back then!
The perfect cake for the holidays! The ingredients are divided into three sections, the wet, dry and the ganache.
You’re looking at about 45 minutes which is prep and cooking time to bring this out of the oven.
Allow your cake to sit for about 20 minutes before cutting and you’ll be in chocolate cake heaven!
Chocolate Cherry Cake
Do you remember Black Forest Gateau! This recipe is a twist on that classic and adds sour cherries!
I so love the crust of this cake, it has this smooth texture and holds everything together perfectly.
The sour cherry jello contrasts perfectly with the rest of the cake.
You will savour every bite. Perfect for that special occasion such as birthday or anniversary.
Chocolate Coconut Cake with Rich Chocolate Glaze
It would be unfair to say this recipe is all about the glaze. Just the cake alone is first class.
Add the glaze and you have yourself something very special indeed. I see this almost as a recipe for that special someone.
There’s only one word I can think of to describe this, luxury.
Dark Chocolate Pear Cake
This recipe brings together two classic partners, pear and chocolate!

Your guests will ask you for the recipe, so make sure you have it on standby!
Chocolate and Almond Cake (Gluten-Free)
Chocolate and almond, seriously!
This is a classic cake, almost old school. The ingredients are divided into two sections, the dry and wet.
I love the instructions because they are specifically called, ‘Step By Step’, and this is exactly what you get.
It couldn’t be easier, and you end up with a cake that looks and tastes as though it’s store-bought, yet all the ingredients are 100% wholesome! Great recipe.

This is Jasmin’s vegan take on a birthday classic, the Snow White Cake. Obviously, you can make it any time, but it does make a beautiful centerpiece for a special day!
Whether you’re having a party with friends, or it’s just a family celebration, this cake fits the bill. Happy Birthday!
Cinnamon White Chocolate Cheesecake
Florian makes great recipes, each one with only six ingredients or less and always gluten-free.
I love this is a no-bake dish. The base is made from just three ingredients mixed together in a food processor.
Give it a few minutes and it will turn into dough I promise you, I’ve done it a thousand times and it always comes out perfect.
For the filling you have six ingredients that yield a smooth and creamy finish that is simply first-class.
Pumpkin Cheesecake with Chocolate Crust
With the holidays approaching, grab this special recipe.
You’re looking at just 15 minutes prep time and about 25 minutes in the oven. Do note this uses cashews that need to be soaked beforehand.
I recommend soaking all night rather than just a couple of hours, it makes all the difference. A wonderful cake with that hint of cinnamon in every bite, your new holiday favorite!
Whole wheat cookies? These are so easy to make, the secret ingredient for me is the almond butter as it blends all the ingredients together beautifully.
Would you believe these take just 30 minutes including prep and cooking time.
If you’re patient enough (I’m not!) allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Seriously though, be careful not to burn yourself and have these warm when they’re all gooey. Totally delicious.
Anything called Tigernut deserves to be made!
You won’t get any waffle on the recipe page for these cookies! It’s straight to the ingredients and simple three step instructions.
I love it! If you want great, no-nonsense cookies everybody will like, you’ll need this recipe!
Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles
I think these are the first cookies I’ve ever had with a slight kick due to the cayenne pepper!
The ingredients are extremely straightforward and if you bake occasionally, you’ll probably have most of them already.
You could use coconut sugar or a different type to that listed in the ingredients if you prefer. Either way these taste fantastic and the surprise chili kick is great!
There’s a lot of good things to say about this recipe!
Once you take your first bite you will experience the soft centre, the chewy texture and best of all I love the sea salt sprinkled over them.
A great contrast of flavors that work so well together.
If you like fudge and you like cookies, this combination of the two are going to quickly become your favorite.
I anticipated the ingredients list to be quite long and the instructions a little complicated, yet the opposite is true! Best of all you can have these ready in less than 25 minutes.
Definitely all about the chocolate, but there’s a delicate hint of vanilla in every bite.
I’ve never seen anything quite like these before, don’t they look great?
Surprisingly easy to make and just a handful of ingredients is all you need.
The secret ingredient for me is the applesauce which brings a beautiful moistness to every bite. Perfect.
Come on now, all we have to do is read the title and that should be all the guarantee you need to know you’re going to make these.
A 10 minute prep time and about 15 minutes cooking is all you need to bring these wonderful cookies to the table.
Chocolate cookies are great, when you add almond and rolled oats, then you have something really special!

Vegan Chocolate Dessert Recipes
Dark Chocolate Pot De Creme (Gluten-Free)
This recipe is all about coffee and chocolate!
Do ensure you get the best quality dark chocolate you can as it makes all the difference.
If you’re avoiding coffee at the moment, you could easily substitute the powder with chicory or Dandy Blend.
Either way you’ll end up with beautiful silky pots filled with a delectable dessert.
Chocolate Espresso Mousse
If you want something that is really fancy and looks as though you hired a professional, just take one look at this.
A classic vegan moose using avocados and even bananas! Do include the garnish of whipped coconut cream and chocolate shavings.

Chia seeds are the perfect ingredient in desserts as they contain natural properties perfect for creating a dairy-free moose texture.
Grab your favorite berries as toppings and you’ll need just 15 minutes to bring these puddings to the table.
The amounts listed in the ingredients yield four servings so adjust as necessary. Delicious, to say the least.
Chocolate Panna Cotta
This is a traditional Italian dessert, usually the opposite of vegan! In fact, Panna Cotta means ‘cooked cream’ in Italian.
Here we have a beautiful plant-based version and it tastes as good as it looks.
I seriously think you’ll have most, if not all, of the ingredients in your kitchen already.
Just above the ingredients on the recipe page, there’s a tool where you can change the amount of servings you need, and this changes the amounts listed in the ingredients, perfect.
Chocolate Pudding
Sometimes you just need a straightforward recipe for a dessert everybody is familiar with. Nothing too fancy, just a reliable dessert you can use again and again.
I love the instructions for this pudding, and I’m sure Cara won’t mind me writing about it here.
Step one: Throw everything into a high-speed blender until smooth.
Step two: That’s it.
Step three: Not even kidding. How awesome is that? Now head over to the recipe page and grab the ingredients!
Chocolate Cherry Shortcakes
I just took one look at the photo for this recipe and it was love at first sight.
The ingredients are divided into two sections, the shortcake scones and the cherry filling. Both are amazing in their own right, put them together and I literally don’t know what to say.
Easy to make and look like they were bought in an expensive store, yet the effort is minimal. The taste is better than you could ever imagine.
Chocolate Lovers Layered Strawberry Chocolate Mousse Dessert
I love how this mousse is layered. So easy to do and the visual effect is gorgeous.
There are just six ingredients that make this beautiful dessert, and would you believe 10 minutes is all you need.
Medjool dates are listed, and I urge you to get this kind and not regular, it really does make all the difference.
Get your mason jars ready and let your creativity flow, enjoy how the desserts look, they’ll be gone in a flash!
Any idea that helps get veggies into kids is a great one.
The main ingredient in this pudding is cauliflower. Could you believe that? But don’t worry, it doesn’t taste anything like that!

Vegan Chocolate Drink Recipes
Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate (Gluten-Free)
Oh my goodness, look at all the delicious gooey mess! It’s hard to believe that it’s gluten and dairy-free, but it is.

Red Wine Hot Chocolate
Red wine and chocolate go together, what if I told you that you could make this into a hot chocolate drink!

It only takes a few minutes to create this wonderful drink. When buying your red wine, do ensure it’s vegan, so many aren’t.
There’s a great tool where you can change the amount of servings you need on the recipe page and this will alter the amounts listed in the ingredients. Fantastic.
Easy and Delicious Hot Chocolate
Sometimes you don’t want anything too elaborate, you just want a straightforward recipe, a dish or drink where you pretty much know what you’re going to get. This is what we have here, and it’s great quality as well.
There are just four steps to the instructions and the ingredients couldn’t be simpler. There is an optional ingredient of chili powder if you want that extra kick.
The secret addition for me is the cinnamon, it’s ever so slight and makes this warming drink a winner.
Hazelnut Chocolate Milk
One for the holidays? I’m not so sure you’ll only want to have it at certain times of the year.
Four ingredients and a blender (sounds like it should be the name of a movie!).
Do soak the hazelnuts overnight as it will help achieve a smooth consistency when blending.
I also recommend medjool dates rather than just regular, you’ll taste the difference. Beautiful recipe.
Peppermint Hot Chocolate
I think the only thing better than hot chocolate is when you have a slight hint of peppermint.
This decadent drink is the perfect combination. It’s warming, you get the comfort from the silky-smooth chocolate drink and then the slight hint of peppermint. Couldn’t be better.
Homemade Chocolate Milk
This drink is incredible. Silky and good enough to be served in a wine glass! Seriously.
The secret ingredient for me is the vanilla extract, the maple syrup also adds that certain something, okay so that’s two ingredients and now they aren’t so secret!
Make this drink and serve in a mug or a fancy glass!
Chocolate Earl Grey Shake
If you love the taste of Earl Grey, this will be an instant hit.

Vegan Gluten-Free Chocolate Recipes
No-Bake Chocolate Chip Granola Protein Bites (Gluten-Free)
If you avoid gluten, sometimes you have to be careful of protein bars and bites. This recipe is not only clear of that, it’s also nut free!
Suitable for adults and kids, these super healthy protein bites are a win for every reason imaginable.
Incredibly easy to make and so tasty. With ingredients such as orange zest, vanilla and cinnamon, you simply can’t go wrong.
Low Carb Keto Chocolate Coconut Fat Bombs (Gluten-Free)
Look, any recipe that calls itself a Fat Bomb deserves to be taken seriously, right?
How many ingredients are in this do you think? Two! One of them is coconut butter, you can make this yourself as there is a link on how to do that.
Otherwise simply use store-bought to save yourself some time. Keep refrigerated and best of all, these store great in the freezer.
No Bake Salted Caramel Chocolate Oat Bars (Gluten-Free)
Any dessert recipe that is no bake always wins in my book.
These are refined sugar-free and the crust resembles cookie dough!
The sprinkled sea salt really is the finishing touch. These must be like a million calories in each bite, right? Nope, just 150 and I’m having two!
Chocolate Chip Pancakes (Gluten-Free)
Isn’t that a great looking stack of pancakes!
You’re looking at a 10 minute prep time and about 20 minutes to cook. Pancakes are light and fluffy, you can taste the cinnamon and vanilla in every bite.
There’s also a hint of coconut and, of course, they have chocolate chips!
The ingredients state the coconut whipped cream is optional, trust me, it’s not optional at all!
Chocolate Chip Almond Butter Bars (Gluten-Free)
This is all about gooey deliciousness!
You’re looking at just a handful of ingredients and to be honest, most of them are probably in your kitchen already.
The recipe calls for dates and I recommend you get medjool if you possibly can.
They say you should bake bread when you want to sell your house while people are looking round, forget that, bake these and you’ll be the realtor in town!
Chocolate Stuffed Pancakes (Gluten-Free)
Stuffed pancakes? Are you serious?
If you think these are difficult to make, think again.
Would you believe you can have these at the table in 30 minutes or less and that includes prep and cooking time! These are very special indeed!
Heavenly Raw White Chocolate and Raspberry Cheesecake (Gluten-Free)
I can see why Audrey calls this a heavenly cake just by looking at the photo. It’s the definition of beauty found in simplicity.
The recipe is divided into three layers, the base, cheesecake layer and the topping. You also have the optional garnish. The cheesecake layer has lemon juice with vanilla and is just incredible.
The main part of this layer is made from cashew nuts and I recommend you soak them overnight before using, it makes all the difference. Whether it’s for a celebration or not, you need to make this.
Chocolate Buckwheat Granola (Gluten-Free)
Certainly, one of the best and easiest granola recipes I have ever seen. It’s perfect as a topping, on its own or however way you want to eat it!
With ingredients such as walnuts, pumpkin seeds and vanilla extract to name but a few, you know you’re onto a good thing.
Get some Himalayan sea salt for that pinch at the end. A first-class granola recipe!

You’ll end up with the best home-made (and store-bought) dairy-free ice cream you’ve ever had!
Sugar-Free Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream
If you’ve never had a dessert where avocado is used as the main ingredient, now is the time to try.
You may have concerns this may taste of avocado, it doesn’t, at all, whatsoever!
Remember, avocado doesn’t have a strong taste to begin with, we are using it for its creamy texture, and because it’s healthy, too! I love the taste of coconut and vanilla in every bite. Wonderful dessert.
No Churn Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream
The problem with home-made ice cream is that many recipes require an ice cream maker. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have one and I don’t know anybody that does.
This dish is beautiful, silky smooth and you don’t need any special equipment.
The ingredients are divided into two sections, the (vegan) ice cream and the ‘Magic Shell’!
Do go to the effort (which isn’t much at all) of making everything and you’ll be guaranteed a first-class dessert.
Double Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice cream sandwiches rule, especially when they’re vegan!
Simple ingredients, the sweetness comes from the medjool dates. When you see these in any recipe, you know you’re onto a winner!
You are looking at over two and a half hours in total, but I promise you, these are more than worth the wait!

Look, sometimes there are things in life we just have to do, this is one of those times.
Three ingredients, a food processor and five minutes. Make sure the bananas are chopped and frozen and then simply whizz until your dream dessert is ready. You’ll want to thank me, but you need to get in line.
Let me tell you, raw desserts are the best. Regardless of your diet or whatever program you follow, there’s nothing like a desert made with wholesome ingredients.
This recipe is divided into two sections, the (vegan) ice cream, and the cookie dough.
Make both and you’ll understand what I’m referring to in the previous sentence! Simply incredible.
Mocha Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate
As you can tell just by the title, there are two awesome things going on here!
Just five ingredients make this delicious dessert. If you’re a coffee fan this is going to be awesome. However, if you avoid coffee you could substitute this ingredient with something like Dandy Blend or a chicory-based drink often used instead of coffee. Delicious, smooth and light!
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Banana Ice Cream Sundaes
I don’t know where to start talking about this as there are so many good parts to it.
This is crunchy, chewy and creamy all at the same time. The recipe is divided into two sections, firstly the ingredients on how to make the peanut butter cookies.
Secondly, the chocolate banana ice cream. As you can probably guess, individually they are awesome, put them together and you exceed ‘awesome’!

The beet juice is purely used for the color and does not add any flavor at all. You’re going to love it and so will all the family.
Avocado Chocolate Fudge Tart with Pretzel Crust and Caramel Cream

This has just three ingredients, so I already knew it had to be good.
Every mouthful is all about banana and chocolate. What more could you want?
Chocolate Cranberry Smoothie
I had never seen a smoothie with this combination before so was intrigued to try it.
Looking through the handful of ingredients I loved the whole foods that go into making this wonderful drink.
Super healthy and I think it would make a great post-exercise smoothie.
Green Chocolate Banana Smoothie
When I first saw this, I was confused by the first word. I understand chocolate and banana smoothie, but green?
The green comes from a cup of baby spinach. This has a very benign flavor so works well in the smoothie.
You get the taste from the good stuff and the goodness from the green stuff!
Coconut and Chocolate Smoothie
Make sure you have some frozen bananas ready to go for this smoothie.

Vegan Chocolate Snack & Treat Recipes
Spicy Chocolate Popcorn (Gluten-Free)
This recipe is for those that want to spice things up a little! It’s especially good if you like sweet popcorn.
Your favorite snack is drizzled with melted chocolate that contains a surprise!
That being a touch of cayenne pepper. This can be extremely strong so adjust as necessary, you could even leave it out if you wanted.
Either way, you’re going to end up with a delicious and addictive snack. The only question that remains is what movie will you watch?
Chocolate Pralines
In only 20 minutes of prep time, you’ll have created the most amazing vegan bites of yum you’ve ever tasted. These chocolate praline bites will be the hit of the universe.
These tasty little morsels may be the easiest you’ve ever made. There’s no need for double boilers, no tempering the chocolate. It’s easy and quick and you can even do it without a special praline mold (a silicone ice cube tray works splendid).
These are great for the holidays or to take to a friend’s house. Or, if you’re like me, to hide in the back of the freezer and nibble on when no one else is looking!
I love snacks like this. It’s like having the perfect validation to eat the cookie dough!
Just a handful of ingredients and a food processor (or blender) is all you need to make these. Once shaped, either serve immediately or if the dough is sticky, Averie suggests chilling in the refrigerator first.
It’ll also store in the freezer for when you need to satisfy those cravings!
Easy Chocolate Almond Truffles (Gluten-Free)
