Introduction
Wishing you the best of holidays! Christmas is only a bit nearer to being a home that is bright inside with fairy lights and delightful-smelling aromas spreading through the house.
It must be waiting for those mouthwatering, savory vegan holiday desserts nowadays; the blight casts over what should have been a completely memorable occasion that anyone can do, apart from being non-vegetarian. Where should you be today?
Plant-based desserts
Plant-based desserts have come a long way and are now just as rich, creamy, and festive as their traditional counterparts. Eating in during the big Christmas celebration this year, or maybe just spending the cozy family gatherings within the home during holidays, or preparing gifts brimming with sweet, sweet treats, desserts promise comfort and flavor spells with each little piece.
I recently posted this updated list of ten vegan Christmas desserts even non-vegans would steal from your plate. Nostalgic, modern, and full of flavor, that is.

Christmashopping.com wishes you the happiest of holidays! Christmas is just a little more like a kitchen warmed by fairy lights shining from within and sweet-smelling aromas wafting through the house.
Presenting this light chocolate mousse, with hardly any ingredients, which could well be the very Christmas spirit that you were looking for.
Chocolate Peppermint Mousse Recipe
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups full-fat coconut cream that has been chilled overnight for firmness (the best)
1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips or a bar of non-dairy chocolate cut into small pieces
2 tsp pure maple syrup. Add more if you like to make it sweeter.
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½–¾ tsp peppermint extract (adjust to taste since it is potent!)
pinch of sea salt
Optional Toppings:
Crushed Christmas candy canes, Vegan whipped cream, Mini chocolate pieces, fresh mint leaves, and shaved dark chocolate
Steps (with Maximum Detail):
Step 1: Preparation of the Coconut Cream
- A can of coconut milk should be kept in a fridge overnight
- Cold enough. Open the can with a knife and use a spoon to scoop up most of the thick cream that adheres.
- One and a half cups of coconut cream need to be removed from a can with a spoon and placed in the mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip the cream just enough to make it completely smooth without mashing it further.
Note: Just as it was taken from the refrigerator, keep the cream very cold at all times, as you need it to whip to that much lighter, airier mousse texture.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate.
- Place all of the dairy-free chocolate pieces in a heat-safe bowl. Leave it there for now.
- The melting and heating of chocolate using the double-boiler method. Put a little pot in boiling water using the heat, and then lower the flame until it simmers. By now, work the chocolate until the water reduces to a gentle simmer and the chocolate melts.
- The last and most important step is to cool down to room temperature. (That melted chocolate is as good as melted cream; therefore, cooling is important.)
Step 3: Combine the flavors, i.e.,
- Flip and stir the melted chocolate into the whipped coconut cream.
- Drizzle maple syrup on top, adding a touch of vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and salt, and fold in.
- Now gently fold with a spatula until fully mixed. That mousse should appear silky and well-blended. 4. Taste-adjust peppermint flavor and/or sweetness level as desired.
Step 4: Chill and Set
- Portion mousse into small cups, glasses, or jars.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the mousse is firmly set.
- Garnish before serving with holiday toppings.

2. Cranberry Orange Muffins
These muffins merit their praise because they look delicious from the inside out and taste quite tart and zesty, with a little touch of lovely red berries—so tart that, when warm vegan butter is added, it melts, giving that authentic holiday feeling.
