Delicious Vegan Dessert Recipes
I think we all can agree that life is busy. There are always 3000 things to get done and never enough time in the day to squeeze them all in. The weekend always provides me with a little bit of relief, as I have more time for my passions and hobbies. And as you guys know, I absolutely love to cook and bake.
However, it’s not feasible for me to make anything elaborate during the work week. So, on busy workdays, I rely on quick and simple dessert options. After all, I’m not one to skip dessert. With that being said, the three delicious desserts that I’m going to share in this post are not only insanely easy to make, but they also taste delicious. Now, let’s take a look at the three recipes, which includes a simple and delicious peanut butter banana chocolate chip nice cream, a vegan chocolate peanut butter protein mug cake, and a decadent chocolate avocado pudding.
Some Of My Favorite Cooking/Baking Products:
1. Banana Chocolate Chip Nice Cream
This banana nice cream recipe is perfect for summer. It’s thick, creamy, and super customizable. You can add whatever toppings you’d like to create a truly unique flavor combination. Some of my favorite toppings include chocolate chips, peanut butter, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, and the list goes on. The possibilities are literally endless. Today, we are going to make my classic chocolate chip banana nice cream version.
Banana Chocolate Chip Nice Cream – Ingredients
- Frozen Bananas – The frozen bananas are the first essential ingredient you will need to make this thick and creamy nice cream. The riper the bananas are when you freeze them, the sweeter this vegan ice cream will be.
- Nut Milk – The nut milk serves as the key source of liquid to aid blending and add creaminess to this vegan nice cream.
- Vegan Chocolate Chips – The vegan chocolate chips add sweetness, rich chocolate flavor, and a nice crunchy topping to this vegan banana nice cream.
Banana Chocolate Chip Nice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas (frozen in chunks)
- 2 tbsp nut milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
- 1 tbsp vegan chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Add the frozen banana chunks and nut milk to a high speed blender or food processor.
- Blend for a couple minutes until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary to aid blending.
- Transfer the banana ice cream to a serving dish.
- Top the ice cream with the chocolate chips.
- Dig in and enjoy!

2. Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Mug Cake
The next recipe we will be making is a simple and delicious chocolate peanut butter protein mug cake. As you can see, there is a little bit of a chocolate theme developing here. This chocolate protein mug cake takes only 60 seconds to bake, and it turns out light, fluffy, and super sweet. All you have to do is mix together the three base ingredients and pop the mug cake in the microwave to cook. One minute later, you will have a decadent chocolate dessert that’s ready to top with peanut butter and enjoy. Now, let’s go over everything that you will need to make this delicious treat.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Mug Cake – Ingredients
- Vegan Chocolate Protein Powder – The first ingredient you will need is the protein powder. I used the Orgain simple chocolate peanut butter cup protein powder for this recipe. It’s one of my favorites in terms of flavor and texture, so I highly recommend it.
- Oat Flour – The next ingredient you’ll want for this recipe is the oat flour. It’s a key dry ingredient that transforms the mixture into the perfect mug cake batter.

- Peanut Butter – The creamy peanut butter is the essential topping which adds flavor and richness to this protein mug cake.
