What is a delicious vegan dessert?

Question

My roommates friend is vegan, and she is coming over for dinner. I am making derssert which has to be nut free, since one of us is allergic to nuts. Also, I would like it to be as simple and quick as possible, as our kitchen is small, and we need to make dinner at the same time. (No cookies either, since one of us gave up cookies for lent)

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Vegan apple crisp or any other fruit you like. I find crisp to be one of the easiest desserts. You can serve it with Soy ice cream.

Here is a great Vegan site with a bunch of desserts.
http://vegweb.com/index.php?board=144.0
I personally like some of the brownies listed on the site. I'm not even vegan but you can't tell the difference!! Here's my favorite:
2 cups flour (I use enriched and whole wheat)
1 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup oil - preferably vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

1. Boil water and 1/2 cup of the flour over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the consistency of a thin gluey paste. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

2. Mix vegan sugar, salt, vanilla, cocoa and oil. Then add the rest flour-water mixture. Mix well.

3. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour, baking powder and the nuts or chocolate chips, if you choose to add those.

4. Spread mixture into a greased 11 x 7 pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until a knife can be inserted and come out clean.


I added nuts and chocolate chips to mine but either could be easily left out. It's so nice that most chocolate chips are vegan!
Good Luck!!!

There's a show on TLC I believe that has a lady who goes around talking about organic life - home and food. She went to a restaurant and learned to make a chocolate vegan cake. It may searchable on the TLC website. If not, I'm sure that the Food Channel website would have something.

To Gold Rush and others who are misinformed, Jello ISNT vegan because it contains gelatin which can essentially come from beef or pork parts.

Answer 7

Jello? with some whipped cream?
