25 Vegan New Year’s Desserts
Looking for some vegan New Year’s Eve desserts? This post is for you! Whether it’s a Hogmanay party, a quiet gathering or a sit-down family meal, this dessert roundup is sure to have something that suits your needs. It includes tasty treats such as pavlova, chocolate fudge cake and Biscoff cheesecake.
When I first went vegan, New Year’s desserts were out of the question for me if I wanted something ready-made (unless you could count bourbon biscuits as dessert). There just weren’t many options back then!
I hadn’t started this blog yet either, so I wasn’t quite sure how to make my own desserts from scratch. So I decided I’d create this post for anyone who may be in the same boat now as I was then. I promise, you can create the most decadent, show-stopping vegan desserts for New Year’s Eve or Hogmanay as the Scottish like to call it).
I’ve tried to include as much variety as I could in the list below but I’ve mainly focused on larger desserts that are suitable for sharing with friends and family. If you make any of the recipes, please leave me a comment to let me know what you think. Enjoy!
