    Here are 41 healthy vegan desserts are sometimes met as a happy surprise when people turns vegan. The premise going in is that just as vegans only eat "salad", they only eat "fruits" for dessert.

    Well it's wrong about salad and it's wrong about fruit.

    Why You'll Love These Recipes

    1. Many of my desserts are made with 2-3 ingredients. Not all but many.

    2. My vegan dessert recipes are almost free of processed ingredients and heavily hide veggies in place of all those dairy and oil needs to boost nutritional levels of these desserts sky high, much healthier than traditional versions.

    For those reason, I think everyone will love my healthy vegan desserts. I hope you love my recipes!
