If you’re looking for a few vegan treats for the holidays, you’ll love these 10 ideas! From fancy-looking Apple Roses to Matcha Ice Cream Cakes, 3-ingredient Apple Strudel and Blueberry Lemon Streusel Muffins.

10 Delicious Vegan Treats for the Holidays with Matcha Ice Cream Cakes, Coconut Balls, Lemon Cheesecake and Apple Roses
Are you guys excited for the holidays? I sure am..because more free time = more time for food. Also it’s totally okay to indulge in all those sweets when you’re sharing with family & friends, right?!

To provide some ideas, I’ve compiled my favorite vegan dessert recipes in one post. All of them are vegan (so dairy-free and egg-free) and some of them are gluten-free like the Coconut Matcha Ice Cream Cakes, Coconut Balls, Raw Cocoa Avocado Tartelette or the Raw Cocoa Coconut Pomegranate Tartelette. Four of the recipes are no-bake: Coconut Matcha Ice Cream Cakes, Coconut Balls and the two Tartelettes.

Some of the treats mentioned in this post are absolute classics like the 3-Ingredient Apple Strudel, which I’ve made 20+ times, while others are so decadent that you want to eat it everyday but maaaayybee you shouldn’t (Lemon Cheesecake & Chocolate Lovers Cake).

      Bianca, I noticed that when using a butter in your recipes you list Earth Balance and Alsan. Which one of the Earth Balance butters do you use? I’m asking because all of the Earth Balance butters are salted, Alsan is not salted. I live in US and we don’t have Alsan here or if we do I didn’t find it. So I used Earth Balance butter for my Christmas baking last year and the salt in the butter altered the flavor of the cookies quite a bit. I have been searching for a salt free vegan butter but no luck so far.
      If you know something that I don’t know please let me know. Thank you for all the great recipes!!!

        Hi Katie, thank you so much for your comment! Have you tried earth balance vegan buttery sticks. It says “great for baking” on the package. It does have salt in the ingredients, but I think this butter is what most vegans use for baking. I haven’t tried it yet, because we don’t have earth balance in the stores, but I have high hopes for this product :)

          Bianca, thank you for your reply. Yes, the Earth Balance buttery sticks are what I used for baking my Christmas cookies and although it is a good replacement for butter the salty flavor is just too strong in my opinion. Nutiva makes Buttery Coconut Oil, that one has no salt, but since its coconut based I’m afraid it will behave differently than butter when used for baking.
          I contacted Earth Balance and asked them if they would consider making the buttery sticks without sodium but no reply. You be happy that you have Alsan available, I wish we had it here. I had it when I was visiting at home in Slovakia and it tastes very nice.
          I found online a recipe for home made vegan butter without sodium in it, but didn’t try to make it yet. It’s coconut based and uses refined coconut oil.
          Different topic, I didn’t find a good vegan recipe for world famous Linzer Cookies, my all time favorite. Did you try to make a vegan version?

          I just baked using this butter http://meltorganic.com/our-products/ and it works much better than Earth Balance. Melt butter sticks have less sodium, I believe 80 mg per Tbsp versus 120 mg per Tbsp in EB. It makes a huge difference.
          Also Melt sticks has all the great certification including usage of palm oil from sustainable sources.

            I’m so glad you found low-sodium vegan butter :) That’s good to know!
            I’ve actually never tried Linzer cookies, but as I am from Linz, I kind of feel obliged to create a vegan version. Although it will probably not be ready for this christmas season. In the meantime, my good blogging friend, Audrey from Unconventional Baker has a recipe for vegan Linzer cookies, so might you want to give it a try! :)

    I defiantly see (and LOVE) a bit of a chocolate theme going on here. And coconut…you know the good stuff :) I don’t think I remember you coconut Panna Cotta but that sounds awesome and easy! These would all be perfect for devouring with family while decorating a tree to christmas tunes, doesn’t that sound perfect!

      Thank you so much, Natalie! I guess one could see that I love chocolate and coconut. The coconut panna cotta recipe is an older one but it’s so good and very festive too. I actually plan on making it again – with a new twist, of course. It’s one of ~300 ideas I have on my to-do-list. waaah :D
