Gluten-Free Desserts: What Are They Made Of?
Gluten-free desserts are made with ingredients that do not contain gluten, such as almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca starch. Many recipes also use alternative sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup instead of sugar and dairy-free options such as coconut cream or almond milk. Gluten-free desserts can be just as delicious and satisfying as their gluten-containing counterparts.
What Vegan Dessert Can I Buy?
Vegan desserts include anything from a simple fruit salad to a more complex vegan cake, just like Chummy’s Bakery, an online bakery system that offers vegan brownies delivered directly to your doorstep, including desserts that use plant-based ingredients such as nuts, fruits, and non-dairy milk.
It’s also possible to find vegan dessert recipes online or just order and enjoy the flavours in the comfort of your own home.
