Summer entertaining means refreshing desserts will be on the menu, so I’ve rounded up my most popular vegan summer desserts for you! From fruity crumbles to vegan ice cream, delicious squares, and summery pies, I’ve got all the vegan summer goodness to keep your sweet tooth happy.
Cobblers, crumbles, and energy balls
Seasonal fruits, like fresh berries and peaches, are at their absolute best in summer. Highlight their natural sweetness by contrasting it with some delicious crunch. It’s easy, impressive, and delicious! This peach amaretto cobbler features drunk peaches (my favorite kind) and feels nostalgic, even though it’s light and summery! This blackberry chocolate crumble is grain-free and refined sugar-free and will have everyone going back for seconds. Bookmark this one for potlucks when there are lots of dietary requirements to consider. These lemon coconut energy bites are balls of sunshine! The citrus notes will totally brighten your summer days.
Vegan ice creams
Dairy-free and egg-free ice cream is a favorite vegan summer dessert—especially on a hot day! Thanks to coconut milk or coconut cream, you can easily create the creamiest vegan ice creams. The no-churn method even allows you to make them without an ice cream maker. I have a lot of vegan ice creams on this blog, but I’ll round up some of my favorite summer flavors for you. This lime coconut ice cream is so refreshing—it’s the perfect pick-me-up for a summer afternoon. Celebrate cherry season with this vegan cherry ice cream recipe—it’s dotted with dark chocolate chips for extra indulgence! If popsicles are more your thing, you’re in luck! This coconut raspberry popsicle recipe has such a good flavor combination that even the ‘big kids’ (adults) will love them!
Summer vegan pies
Is it even summer if there isn’t fruity pie going around? Serve up a slice of summer with these delicious vegan options. Fresh strawberries and cream are a tried-and-true combination. This vegan strawberry cream pie uses cashews for a velvety, luscious texture that will win the day.
Bars and squares
Satisfy your sweet tooth by keeping a stack of these sweet treats around. These vegan squares and bars are perfect for grabbing on the go, making them great for summer picnics, potlucks, or keeping you energized through all your summer activities. I love how bars can be soft and gooey while still having a bit of bite. These jammy, tropical, and chewy coconut fig squares won’t last long at all – finish them off with coconut flakes and no one will be able to stay away. And once you’ve finished picking blueberries, whip up these delicious blueberry jam bars . These cashew butter cups are a lighter spin-off of peanut butter cups. No one believes that they’re vegan, but they’re totally dairy-free and egg-free!
Vegan jars
These portable little delights are fruity and super easy! These mango chia puddings bring all the tropical vibes-you could eat them for breakfast or for dessert! Otherwise, this vegan coconut yogurt with strawberry jam is an easy grab-and-go treat.
