I know what you're thinking: what's an indulgent pudding without excessive dollops of cream, rich milky chocolate or, at the very least, a mascarpone filling in a slice of humble cheesecake? Just me? Well it turns out that the animal-free options are just as varied and just as delightfully tempting. 'Who'd have thought', says the naive and skeptical flexitarian in me. Vegan desserts are exciting too.
Trust us with this one. We put the hours in on good old Pinterest and came out the other side with a load of the prettiest, yummiest looking desserts. The type that you'll want to have on hand to take to that dinner party at your non-vegan mates' to save them the trouble of having to awkwardly offer you boring lemon sorbet while everyone else tucks into a chunk of black forest cake. That, or just keep these in your back pocket for when you've got a bit of time on your hands and those sugar cravings get a bit out of control.
We've gone for minimum effort, max results here guys. Instagram worthy puds that'll tempt even the most reluctant plant-based converts down the vegan path. Don't say we didn't warn you when you go back for seconds (ahem, thirds).
