Everyone could use some more healthy fats in their life. Enter avocado into the equation, but fear not because this is not guacamole in dessert form. This is a splendid citrusy dessert that tastes like a healthier version of key lime pie (just without the pie crust and whipped cream). This recipe is actually akin to chocolate avocado pudding. If you have tried that, you know that the avocado flies under the radar of your taste buds. The avocado is simply an ingredient that enhances creaminess.

This avocado mousse does resemble a velvety smooth guacamole, but that’s only because of the color. Once you get over that hurdle, you unlock a whole new world of flavor. The lime juice and zest provides that tart flavor, which is mellowed by the creamy avocado and sweet raw agave nectar. Don’t have agave on hand? Feel free to use grade A or “pure” maple syrup. The flavor may change slightly because of the maple syrup, but it will not alter the texture of the mousse. As long as you blend the ingredients thoroughly, the mousse will have a creamy texture. If you want to really get fancy with it, feel free to bust out an electric hand mixer and whip the blended mixture.

A quick word about avocados: they contain a wide variety of nutrients and may help prevent bone loss, improve heart health, and boost digestion. They provide a substantial amount of monounsaturated fatty acids, which can help you feel fuller between meals. Eating healthy fats can help slow the breakdown of carbohydrates, which helps regulate blood sugar levels.

You don’t have to go out and buy an ice cream machine or churner in order to enjoy homemade ice cream. As long as you have a blender or food processor and a freezer-safe container, you can enjoy a guilt-free dessert such as this recipe. Sure, peanut butter and chocolate ice cream is highly popular, but not everyone is a fan. Some people are also allergic to peanuts, so having an almond butter ice cream is the next best (and safest) option, provided there are no additional nut allergies.

A nut butter ice cream is such a simple concept, but packs a lot of flavor. Nut butters are naturally creamy and thick, so they help make the raw vegan ice cream a little creamier, acting similarly to frozen bananas. The dates in this recipe also help thicken the ice cream, but make sure that you soak them for one to two hours prior to blending them with the rest of the ingredients. The soaking process helps soften them, making the job a little easier on your blender. If you plan to use a food processor or have a VitaMix, you don’t have to soak your dates for longer than 15-30 minutes.

The almond butter primarily flavors this ice cream, and the flavor may change depending on the almond butter you use. Your choices are limited for almond butter since you have to use raw almond butter while cleansing. That said, different brands typically taste different. No matter which raw almond butter you use, one thing is for certain: this raw ice cream is absolutely delicious and creamy. We hope you love it as much as we do. How could you not? It’s a great source of healthy fats, protein, omega-3s, magnesium, and other vitamins and minerals.

Popsicles may be the most enjoyable frozen treats for kids, but you can refresh your palate as an adult with these desserts as well. Nothing cools you off like a frozen treat from the freezer on a warmer spring day. Now, the weather isn’t just instantaneously hot just because spring has sprung. That said, it is warming up and there is nothing quite like the newest crave-able popsicle straight out of your kitchen.

Allow us to introduce you to our raw vegan cantaloupe popsicles! Perfectly cleanse-approved and undeniably delicious, these popsicles are based on creamy melon bars, which are commonly made with honeydew. Cantaloupe, however, is a little creamier, and the texture of these pops is more akin to a creamsicle. The only difference is that these popsicles contain three ingredients, not 45 mysterious ingredients, many of which you cannot even pronounce. You can truly taste the difference, and you’ll feel the difference, too!

When it comes to making your own popsicles, we recommend that you use silicone molds. The classic plastic popsicle molds make it difficult to get the popsicles out. Silicone molds make this process so much easier, especially if you run the molds under a little warm water to aid the removal process. Just make sure that the popsicles are completely frozen before you try to remove them. This typically takes about four to six hours, but may require more time. Once you finish your cleanse, you can use coconut milk in place of homemade almond milk. The coconut milk yields a creamier consistency.

Oh my goodness! Is this about to be the best vegan treat of the holidays? Good tidings and even better flavors we bring to you and your kin. We wish you a happy holidays and an even happier eating experience. This vegan eggnog chia pudding recipe is not only delectable, but also creamy and filled with holiday spices. Unlike traditional eggnog recipes, this one is free of added sugars, preservatives, dairy, and unhealthy fats. It is also alcohol-free!

Sweets are all the rage during the holiday season. Would Christmas be what it is without a cup of hot cocoa and some cookies, or a glass of eggnog? Yes, of course it would! Don’t fall into that classic holiday mentality of “well, I only eat this during this time of year, so it is perfectly acceptable to have it whenever I want it.” Because people love their holiday treats, though, we decided to create one of our own. You can enjoy it for breakfast or eat it as a dessert. There is no wrong way to eat this eggnog chia pudding.

Because eggnog is very creamy and beautifully spiced, it lends itself to chia pudding. The hints of nutmeg and cinnamon almost give this chia pudding a flavor that is reminiscent to a classic rice pudding. Once the chia pudding sets, feel free to top it with your desired toppings. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, add some diced apples or sliced bananas, or drizzle some nut butter on top. Need a little crunch to this recipe? Add some slivered almonds or pumpkin seeds! Lastly, this recipe will keep fresh in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to five days, so you don’t have to enjoy it immediately when it is ready.

Have you ever taken a spoon to a pint of non-dairy ice cream and been utterly disappointed? If this unfortunate situation has happened to you, prepare to be amazed by a homemade dairy-free ice cream that is just as smooth and creamy as it is delicious. Some ice cream manufacturers just can’t seem to crack the code on texture. That’s why vegan ice creams are typically hard, icy, and not creamy like traditional dairy ice cream. The raw macadamia nuts help establish a creamy, nutty base for this to be one of the better raw vegan ice creams out there.

Macadamia nuts are rich in various vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, healthy fats, protein, and other nutrients. Researchers have found that macadamia nuts contain some of the highest flavonoid levels of all tree nuts. These antioxidant compounds work to fight inflammation and lower cholesterol levels. Macadamia nuts are also rich in tocotrienols, a form of vitamin E that exhibits antioxidant properties that may benefit cholesterol levels. Additionally, tocotrienols may protect against brain diseases and certain cancers.

One key step that you should not forget about while making this recipe is soaking the macadamia nuts. Take the extra two to four hours of soaking time in order to make your ice cream that much creamier. By soaking the nuts, you help soften them, which makes them easier to blend. Finally, use a food processor to blend your ingredients together, as this kitchen tool is better than a blender in this circumstance. Just make sure that you stop blending, scrape down the sides, and continue blending to incorporate all the ingredients!

You can have your raw vegan cake and it too! And with raw vegan frosting, no less! If you have perused our dessert section, you know that we have several raw vegan carrot cake recipes. We have bars, bites, balls, and a full cake in there, and this maple cashew cream frosting would be the perfect complement to any of those recipes. It is similar in flavor to a classic cream cheese frosting, which pairs beautifully with carrot and red velvet cake.

Cashew cream is a versatile item to have in your kitchen because you can make it sweet or savory. Use it in everything from spreads and dips to sauces, frosting, and more. If you need a dairy-free or vegan option, cashew cream is great to have on hand. Honestly, you can slather this spread on anything and everything, depending on how you flavor it. Make it with savory flavors to use as a dip for raw vegetable sticks. Make it sweet, just like this maple-inspired recipe, to put on energy balls, toast, or raw vegan desserts.

Although we have this recipe pretty dialed in, you may want to tinker with it to achieve the flavor you are content with. You can adjust the amount of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and homemade almond milk to your liking. You want it to be thick, but smooth and easily spreadable. Just remember to soak the cashews in water for three to four hours to help soften them. That will make the blending process so much easier. Just don’t forget to discard the soaking liquid!

It’s time that we take a break from avocado chocolate pudding because we have posted a handful of those recipes. This recipe, which is also raw vegan, requires five minutes of your time, a blender or food processor, and the ingredients. It is a decadent dessert that is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet, due to the raw cacao powder and maple syrup combo. It’s just beautiful that you can satisfy your craving for chocolate while cleansing. If we can provide that type of freedom for you, we will!

Chocolate in the form of a rich chocolate pudding is something to smile about. It isn’t as rich as fudge and you don’t have to feel guilty about eating it. This pudding is far from the unhealthy processed ingredients that you find in chocolate bars. It is also unlike other pudding recipes, which typically require cooking and simmering on the stove. That doesn’t work when you want chocolate and you want it now! This takes the elongated cook time out of the equation, so you only have to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Cashews, as you probably know, are quite amazing. They provide healthy fats, fiber, protein, minerals, and vitamins, but they also make a great base for puddings. If you want an easier time blending them, consider soaking them in water for about two hours before you make this recipe. Just make sure to discard the soaking liquid prior to blending everything together. Finally, make sure to top your pudding with things you like to eat, so long as they are cleanse-approved. Consider topping the pudding with raw nuts or fresh berries!

Get ready for one of the best raw vegan treats we’ve ever published on this website. Not only is it very easy to make, but it also has a highly addictive flavor that may replace sugar in your recipes! This raw vegan date caramel is naturally sweet and creamy, as it is made from pureed dates, homemade almond milk, sea salt, and vanilla extract. After blending the ingredients in a food processor until smooth, the result is a delightful alternative to traditional caramel. We don’t recommend that you eat the entire recipe in one sitting, but we will say that it is a somewhat healthy option for those who have a sweet tooth.

The process is simple: add pitted Medjool dates, homemade almond milk, sea salt, and vanilla extract to a food processor and blend until smooth and luscious. You should end up with a thick, almost paste-like texture that can drizzle over desserts. You can also use it as a dip or enjoyed straight from the jar. This indulgent treat is not only a delightful way to satisfy your sweet tooth but also packed with nutrients, speaking of which:

• A single serving of dates contains about seven grams of fiber, which aids digestion and helps regulate bowel movements. These benefits can help you avoid constipation.
• Dates are naturally sweet and can replace refined sugars in many recipes, which makes them a healthier, more nutritious option if you have a sweet tooth.
• Because dates have a naturally high sugar content (including fructose, glucose, and sucrose), they provide a quick energy boost. That makes dates an ideal snack for anyone who needs a quick pick-me-up.
• Due to their potassium and magnesium content, dates are beneficial for heart health. Researchers note that dates work to regulate blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels.

Yes, folks, that time of year has arrived. Pumpkin spice is here to stay for the next couple months, so you can expect some more pumpkin recipes to come your way. Some will be savory, utilizing actual pie pumpkins, and others will be on the sweeter side. The sweeter recipes, like this pumpkin pie pudding, tend to utilize pumpkin puree. Before we tell you more about this pudding, we have to make the distinction between pure pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling. One is 100% pumpkin, with no added fats, sugars, or preservatives, while the other rich in sugar, natural flavors, and, quite frankly, devoid of nutritional value.

Fortunately for you, this pumpkin pie pudding is a healthy, guilt-free dessert that you’ll be enjoying throughout autumn. It is a wonderful vegan creation that contains nutritionally-dense ingredients, including raw cashews, pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Pure maple syrup is a much healthier sweetener to use in place of granulated sugar. It also adds a unique sweetness that works particularly well with fall flavors, such as pumpkin pie spice. Just make sure that you opt for pure maple syrup and not the unhealthy corn syrup ones that do not require refrigeration after opening.

This pudding is extra creamy because of the pumpkin puree and raw cashews. Make sure to soak the cashews for at least two hours in order to soften them. That makes them a lot easier to blend, but make sure to discard the soaking liquid before adding them to the blender or food processor. Cashews are great sources of copper, magnesium, manganese, vitamin K, zinc, and phosphorus. Plus, you get tons of vitamin A from the pumpkin!

If you are familiar with our recipes, you know that we love chocolate avocado pudding. It is a wonderfully healthy and filling dessert or snack that provides lots of healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and more. With this recipe, we’ve basically taken our beloved chocolate avocado pudding and transformed it into decadent truffles. Should you feel so inclined, you can elevate these truffles by rolling them in pulsed raw pistachios. Alternatively, you can dust the truffles with raw cacao powder or desiccated coconut flakes. 

Unlike other energy balls or truffles, you’ll have to place the blended mixture in the freezer prior to forming the mixture into balls. The reason for this is because the avocados make it very creamy. It becomes difficult to form truffles easily if the mixture is room temperature. Once you form the truffles, place them in the freezer or fridge to harden a little more. Enjoying them cold is the only way! 

Although these chocolate avocado truffles may not have the sugar content of a gingerbread house, they offer pleasant sweetness. The texture is very similar to chocolate ganache, making them very creamy and dreamy. That is why we recommended rolling them in pulsed pistachios if you enjoy a little texture. Make no mistake about it, though, these truffles are delicious as is and we hope you like them as much as we do.
