Veganuary Special: 5 Plant-Based Chocolate Treats

Who says indulgent and chocolatey can’t be 100% plant-based? Veganuary is here to prove otherwise. Veganuary is a global movement encouraging people to embrace a vegan lifestyle in January. Embracing veganism while savouring decadent flavours is entirely possible. Whether you’ve chosen this lifestyle for health, the planet, or animals, indulging in chocolate needn't be off-limits.
Keen to explore plant-based, non-dairy chocolate treats that go beyond banana chocolate ice cream? This list is exactly what you need!

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Silky, creamy, and super easy to make, avocado chocolate mousse is a perfect healthy and guilt-free dessert to savour even when you are on a diet. Just blend ripe avocados with cocoa powder, any plant-based milk, and a touch of honey or maple syrup to create a velvety texture. Top it with fresh berries or nuts for an elegant finish.

Zucchini Chocolate Brownies

Zucchini can be downright indulgent! Don’t believe us? These moist and gooey zucchini chocolate brownies are proof! Made with ingredients like zucchini, oats, flaxseed meal, almond butter, and dark vegan chocolate, they’re just as gooey and satisfying as their counterparts. Serve them warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream for added flair.

Coconut Milk Hot Chocolate

For something a bit more indulgent, try this no-bake delight. Simply switch dairy with warm coconut milk as a base. Combine unsweetened cocoa powder, dark vegan chocolate, and a splash of maple syrup with heated coconut milk for a rich gourmet drink. A dollop of whipped coconut cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder do more justice to this luscious and hearty drink.

Cashew-Based Chocolate Cheesecake

Now that we are talking about dairy-free chocolate desserts, cashew chocolate cheesecake deserves special mention. This no-bake vegan cheesecake with a cashew base is as creamy as the real deal. Prepare the crust with dates and nuts, topped with a chocolate-cashew filling sweetened with agave syrup and enhanced with vanilla extract. Let it set in the fridge before slicing into this indulgent treat.

Chocolate Chickpea Tahini Truffles

Chocolate Chickpea Tahini Truffles is not as complicated as it sounds! In fact, this protein-rich dessert could be your go-to when you want to satiate your sweet craving.
