Plant-based desserts are sweet treats made without animal products, focusing instead on ingredients like fruits, nuts, seeds, and plant-based alternatives. Common substitutes for dairy include coconut milk, almond milk, and cashew cream, while sweeteners can range from maple syrup to agave nectar. These desserts cater to various dietary preferences, including vegan and dairy-free lifestyles. Popular options include vegan brownies, fruit sorbets, and chia seed puddings, which offer delicious flavors and textures while being kinder to the environment and animal welfare.
