Our baked pumpkin custard is super easy to make, has an incredible silky texture, and of course is both gluten-free and vegan! You can serve it plain, or dress it up with vegan whipped topping or vanilla ice cream; sometimes we even top it with some of our Super-Easy, Super-Awesome Homemade Fresh Cranberry Sauce, it’s super yummy!

We have been on a kick buying cookbooks from around the world. While cooking cuisines from different cultures is fun, adapting them to be vegan and gluten free is even more fun. It is a great challenge to find the vegan, gluten-free equivalents of some of the ingredients, and we love all of the different recipes that combine ingredients we would have never considered.

You’re going to be amazed by this vegan, gluten-free peanut butter chocolate pie recipe. Our mouth-watering dessert takes three hours to make, but most of the time, the pie is just chilling in the freezer.

Think that gluten-free vegan scones are impossible? Or that making your own vegan and gluten-free scones is complicated or difficult? Think again, because our vegan scone recipe is gluten-free, easy, uses regular ingredients that you almost certainly already have, and, best of all, it’s delicious! In fact, these scones are (or can be made to be) reminiscent of the maple oat scones of Starbucks fame, if you like!

The following recipe is contributed by Chef Andrea Young, founder of Sweet Vegan in New York City. We have had Sweet Vegan’s chocolates, and we’re here to tell you that they are amazing! And if you aren’t in or near New York City, you can order them online and they will ship them to you!

Is it even summer without peach cobbler? We don’t think so! When temperatures are hot and peaches are ripe, what’s an enterprising chef to do? The traditional recipe calls for large amounts of butter and white sugar, but you won’t miss the rich taste when you bite into our more subtle, but equally delicious version. This cobbler is inexpensive and incredibly easy to make. You can either peel the peaches or leave the peels on. We made our recipe with peels because that’s the way we roll. The peels become soft and pliable during the baking process. Also, they’re packed with vitamins, so it seems a shame to just toss them out. You’re going to love this recipe. We guarantee it!

Our copycat dark chocolate Chunky bars are super-easy to make, they are vegan, they are gluten-free, and honestly they are just plain better (and better for you) then actual Chunky bars (especially since Nestle took them over, and reduced the quality of the ingredients, and raised the price). Plus, you can get all of the ingredients at Costco (but of course you don’t have to), and organic (ditto)!

These vegan, gluten-free dessert balls are so delicious that you’ll want to eat them up immediately. Do it, because they are so easy to make that you can quickly and easily make more! We have to confess that when we developed these our first thought was “Unhh”. (Our second thought was of that classic SNL skit, with Alec Baldwin’s Pete Schweddy and his delicious Schweddy Balls.) They aren’t very pretty (although there are ways to make them prettier), and they don’t have many ingredients, and they are incredibly easy to make, so yeah, we were dubious. Until we bit into one (ok, we put the whole thing in our mouth). Whoaaaa! We immediately dubbed these “Amazeballs”.

Who can resist a delicious piece of rich, creamy fudge? Certainly not the intrepid chefs at The Happy Gluten-Free Vegan! Most of us have blissful memories of devouring these chocolate-y confections.

Want an easy, delicious, gluten-free vegan doughnut recipe? One that doesn’t even resort to flax eggs or the like? Whether you call them donuts or doughnuts, our gluten-free vegan cinnamon doughnut recipe is going to become your new best friend! This is also a vegan Costco recipe because it features ingredients from Costco (although of course you don’t have to get yours from Costco!)

If you have a sweet tooth, or are just craving something sweet, or have kids who you are trying to wean away from processed sugar, then this Vegan German Chocolate Fudge should fill the bill. Of course in addition to being vegan it’s gluten-free (after all, we’re the Happy Gluten-Free…

Mmm…doughnuts! Whoever imagined that donuts could be gluten-free, vegan (and baked, not fried!) and still be this good?! Not to mention so easy and fun to make!

Chestnut cream seems like such an exotic thing, but it is actually so easy to make, especially when you start with the pre-peeled chestnuts available at Costco and other places. And while sweet chestnut cream is typically made using a simple sugar syrup, ours is sweetened with dates, and so even easier to make! There are lots of things that you can do and make with chestnut cream, but one of the classics is a Mont Blanc dessert, which is, traditionally, sweet chestnut cream piled onto a meringue base, and topped with whipped cream (doesn’t that sound yummy?) Following our recipe and directions you can make the entire thing vegan, including with vegan meringue!

It’s almost pumpkin spice season, and it’s definitely ice cream season, so we figured we’d get ahead of things and give you our new vegan pumpkin spice latte ice cream recipe now! Of course, if you don’t like the “latte” part you can always just leave out the coffee!

Our vegan rose cardamom ice cream recipe was done in our Ninja Creami, but of course you can use it with any other ice cream maker or ice cream making method! You will not believe how incredible this ice cream is, it’s quickly become one of our two favourite ice cream recipes, so far. (The other is our Lapsang Souchong ice cream, which we will post soon, we promise!)

We couldn’t let National Celiac Awareness Month go buy without some chewy chocolatey baked goods! This sumptuous recipe, adapted from the Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam, offers a heap of cocoa powder, offset with sweet agave nectar. The recipe book offers a vast array of delicious, gluten-free recipes, but it is not a vegan cookbook so, like many cookbooks, we have to adapt.

This is part of our “Will it Creami?” series, in which we dump something in the Ninja Creami and see if it will turn into an edible ice cream, sorbet, or other divine frozen concoction! In this episode we try dumping premade vegan chocolate pudding into the Creami container, freezing it, and “spinning” (i.e. churning) it. In fact, it was the first thing we tried for “Will it Creami?”

As we have dedicated our explorations with our new Ninja Creami to lazy vegans everywhere, we have determined to discover as many “dump and freeze” things as we can, giving rise to our “Will it Creami?” series of posts and recipes. Today we are turning our attention to that unsung hero of the tofu world, the shelf-stable silken tofu. We can just hear you now: “Tofu in ice cream??” Yes, our pretties, tofu not only in ice cream, but tofu as ice cream! We promise that it will blow your mind, because it’s actually deeeelicious!

In case you’re not familiar with the Ninja Creami, it works a bit differently from other home ice cream makers. With many home ice cream makers you have to freeze a relatively large, double-walled metal bowl, then put your ingredients in and process it. Of course, you still need your ingredients to be frozen with the Creami, but instead of having to freeze a big old bowl, which you will need to refreeze after you use it before you can make more ice cream, the Creami ingeniously has you freeze your ingredients right in the pint (or “larger pint”, depending on which model you get) containers in which you will blend and also store your frozen confections. This also means that you can have several in your freezer, pre-frozen and ready to go! Brilliant!!

A vegan caramel sauce recipe made with olive oil and maple syrup?? Yes! And our twist on it brings it to a whole new level of foodgasm!The Internet is a’buzz with @fitgreenmind’s viral TikTok video showing a very simple recipe, or hack if you will, of taking olive oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, and turning it into smooth, delicious caramel sauce. Now, this is not as outlandish as it may seem at first glance. Traditional caramel sauce recipes nearly all call for butter, cream, and sugar. In other words, to make a delicious caramel sauce you need fat and something sweet. In the olive oil and maple syrup recipe, the olive oil takes the place of the fat from the butter and cream, while the maple syrup provides the something sweet, and together they provide the mouthfeel.
