Cakes & Puddings
First, we’ll start with the cakes and puddings because I have the most recipes for this category. The recipes below include traybake cakes, layer cakes, trifle and cinnamon rolls.
Vanilla tray cake
Light and fluffy vanilla cake topped with a simple icing and vegan rainbow sprinkles. This tastes just as good as the retro school cake that everyone knows and loves!
3 Layers of fluffy yet moist cinnamon cake, sandwiched together and covered with creamy Biscoff buttercream. This is a must-try recipe for any Biscoff lover!
Pillow soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls flavoured with speculoos. Topped with a sticky Biscoff cream cheese glaze, these are perfect for tearing and sharing.
This is another popular old school dessert but without the eggs or dairy. A vanilla tray cake topped with strawberry (or raspberry) jam and desiccated coconut.
This strawberry trifle is one of the best vegan desserts for a crowd because it can serve 12 people or more, depending on the portion size. It's made from layers of homemade vanilla cake, strawberry jam, fresh strawberries, vegan custard and dairy-free whipped cream.
3 Layers of vegan cake with rainbow chequered frosting inside and a fluffy, white, cloud-like frosting on the outside. The ultimate rainbow cake that can feed up to 16 people.
Blueberry sheet cake topped with a rich and creamy homemade cream cheese frosting. This is a fresh, fruity cake that's great for serving in Spring or Summer.
This cake is flavoured with coffee and is paired with crunchy walnuts. It's topped with vegan cream cheese frosting for a fabulous flavour combination that you'll love.
If you're cake decorating skills need a bit of work, you can make my 3-layer Biscoff cake in traybake form instead. You can cut the slices as big or as small as you need.
This banana cake is a lighter version of banana bread and is topped with vegan cream cheese frosting. It can feed 12 people or more and is always a crowd-pleaser.
This fluffy chocolate traybake is topped with dairy-free chocolate buttercream and chocolate buttons. This is popular for children's parties but can be made for any occasion where you need to feed a crowd!
This Oreo cookies and cream cheesecake is easy to make with NO cashews or coconut cream! It's made with an Oreo cookie base and a vanilla filling with Oreo pieces throughout.
I made this cheesecake for my family to enjoy last Christmas and my cousin declared it the best dessert ever! It's super light and creamy with a sweet Biscoff flavour.
This no-bake cheesecake tastes next to no effort. It's a simple no-bake vanilla cheesecake with fresh strawberry pieces inside, and a Digestive biscuit base. Add more fresh strawberries and strawberry jam for a sweet, sticky topping.
Here are 4 of my no-bake vegan desserts for a crowd.
Rocky Road
This rocky road is filled with mini vegan marshmallows, chocolate chunks, popcorn, pretzels and more! It's a scrumptious mix of sweet and salty and makes a great vegan dessert for feeding a crowd.
If you don't know what tiffin is- get to know! It's a Scottish dessert that is bit similar to rocky road except it doesn't use marshmallows. Traditionally, tiffin contains raisins but this Oreo version uses chocolate chunks instead.
These Biscoff truffles contain just 3 ingredients and there's no baking required. They taste like bite-sized cheesecakes and can be enjoyed with or without the chocolate coating.
These are similar to the Biscoff truffles but they're made with Oreos instead. These are the perfect dessert to make if you have a lot of children to feed because they're so dainty and bite-sized.
Who doesn’t love a good brownie?! Here are three delicious recipes to choose from:
Chocolate Brownies
These brownies are SUPER fudgy, chewy and decadent. They even have the classic shiny, papery crust on top! These are also a great dessert to make ahead of time because they taste even better after being in the fridge for a day or two.
These are my classic fudgy brownies but with a peanut butter swirl on top. These are quite rich so they can be cut into bite-sized portions to feed many people.
These peanut butter flavoured flapjacks are soft, chewy and gooey. They can be whipped up in a hurry and are one of the easiest vegan desserts for a crowd.
Last but not least are the pies and tarts. Here are recipes for Bakewell tart, banoffee pie, and chocolate tart.
Bakewell Tart
Bakewell tart is a British classic and it's super easy to make without eggs and dairy. It's made up of shortcrust pastry, cherry conserve and almond frangipane.
Banoffee pie is made with a Digestive biscuit base, slices of fresh banana, homemade vegan caramel, and dairy-free whipped cream. There's no baking required to make this delicious dessert!
Chocolate shortcrust pastry filled with glossy, decadent chocolate ganache. This is the perfect vegan dessert for a crowd because it's sure to be loved by anyone who tries it!
