I was soo excited to see an email saying 35 Easy No-Bake Desserts… and they are Vegan! I immediately clicked on it. Your pictures look amazing! and the desserts look incredible!
I do need to say that out of all 35 of these recipes… only 1 didn’t have dates as a primary ingredient. I really wish you could have put in at least a few more recipes that didn’t include dates as a primary ingredient.
Do you have other chocolate vegan desserts that don’t include dates? I would love to see more of those.
Hi Shantel, sorry to hear these weren’t what you were hoping for! Our no-bake recipes do tend to have dates as they work well for texture + sweetness. Here’s a couple options for vegan chocolate desserts without dates: Vegan Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies and 2-Ingredient Dark Chocolate Truffles. Enjoy!
I love these recipes round ups and have made many things based on them over the years. But can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a a round up of school-safe healthy snacks options? I need to make a batch of healthy treat for kids lunches ever week, but no nuts are allowed! Thanks!
I thank you for your wonderful recipes, which I have been blessed with for several years! I am in awe of your creativity and big heart for sharing with your fans. Thanks to your husband for his terrific photography and support of your mission!

Hi Lilí, is there a specific recipe you’re referring to? We’re not sure!
