    Published: Jul 11, 2021 · Modified: Jul 20, 2021 by Louise-Claire Cayzer · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 2 Comments

    Summer is here! While we absolutely love our vegetables, and our healthy and hearty meals, we also love to indulge in desserts (especially me!). We love vegan summer desserts, as it's an excuse to make icecream (cookie dough icecream, anyone?), chilled chocolate desserts, pies and tarts with summer fruits, as well as BBQ foods like grilled peaches!

    If you're looking for other vegan summer foods, we've done roundups of the most delicious Vegan BBQ and Grill Mains, Vegan BBQ and Grill side dishes, and Vegan Picnic Ideas.

    So enjoy this delicious array of vegan summer desserts, and please don't blame me when you eat them all at once! Don't forget your essentials like vegan whipping cream (affiliate link) or you can make your own.

    🥧Pies & Tarts

    Pies and tarts are for any season; it's about what you fill them with. They make such pretty vegan summer desserts as you can top them with colourful summer fruits, just like the ones below like peach tarts, strawberry tartlets and blueberry pie! We've even included a vegan s'mores pie for those camp summer vibes. If you need some vegan marshmallows for toasting, these Freedom ones (affiliate link) are amazing!

    🍓Fruit Desserts

    Ok, I'm a plant eater after all! So I can't forget the fruity desserts. Of course, fruit is part of many of the vegan summer desserts here, but let's take a look at the dishes that hero them! From watermelon salads to smoothie bowls. If you want a healthy breakfast that can be topped with lots of fruit, then you'll love my Superfood, High Protein Breakfast Bowl. For extra healthy toppings for your fruity desserts, try things like cacao nibs and gogi berries (affiliate links).
