7 Vegan Chocolate Recipes That’ll Satisfy Anyone’s Sweet Tooth

by Lindsay E. Mack

You may already have a good idea of how to go vegan for your main meals, but what about dessert? And more importantly, what about vegan chocolate recipes? The good news is satisfying your sweet tooth may be simpler than you thought, as lot of chocolate is actually vegan. As long as ingredients derived from milk don’t pop up in the ingredients list, you’re in the clear. (And this isn’t limited to milk. Be on the lookout for ingredients such as whey, casein, or milk fat.) This means it’s even easier to whip up a delicious vegan chocolate recipe that will make everyone’s mouths water (even those milk guzzling, egg eating friends of yours.)

Cakes, cookies, and even chocolate mousse are just as delicious without the animal products. In fact, it might be fun to serve these up to friends and family without warning them beforehand that the treats are vegan. Odds are they won’t be able to taste the difference. Even if you aren’t a vegan, these rich and decadent desserts will still be worth your time and calories. So round up your baking tools, set the kitchen timer, and get ready for some of the tastiest vegan chocolate recipes the Internet has to offer.
