Non-dairy desserts are sweet treats made without any animal-derived ingredients, particularly milk and cream. They often use plant-based alternatives like coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk to create creamy textures. Common examples include vegan ice cream, fruit sorbets, and dairy-free cakes. These desserts cater to those with lactose intolerance, dairy allergies, or those following a vegan lifestyle. Many recipes utilize natural sweeteners like maple syrup or agave nectar and incorporate ingredients such as nuts, fruits, and cacao to enhance flavor and nutrition.
