When preparing desserts for parties, bake sales, and children’s birthday parties, you may need to accommodate a variety of diets and food allergies. This can include vegan diets, egg allergies, and lactose intolerance. But you don’t have to sacrifice flavor and decadence just because you’re avoiding allergens or animal products.

Vegan fudge with peanut butter

This simple and nutty peanut butter fudge requires only five ingredients, including vegan margarine instead of butter to make it completely dairy-free. It turns out delicate enough to give as gifts, so make a big batch if you want to share. Drizzling it with a little melted dairy-free chocolate looks extra special.

Vegan banana chocolate brownies

Make use of those ripe bananas writhing on your counter by whipping up a batch of these soft chocolate brownies. The banana keeps them moist without the eggs. Enjoy them later by slicing them into individual brownies and freezing them to enjoy whenever you have a chocolate craving.

Apple bread pudding without milk

Use up leftover bread in a sweet way with this delicious bread pudding. The apples add autumnal sweetness and the walnuts add a crunch.

Vegan chocolate chip cookies

These chocolate chip cookies taste like childhood, except they’re egg and dairy free. Read the instructions on the side of your chosen egg replacer; different brands may sometimes require different preparations. Add walnuts, pecans, or even raisins if you want to get more bulk.

Moist carrot cake

Thanks to grated carrots and applesauce, this carrot cake is soft and mild, perfect for a springtime get-together. Use cinnamon applesauce for a spicier flavor and frost with a vegan cream cheese frosting or simply sprinkle with powdered sugar for a lighter presentation.
