    The 14 Best Vegan Summer Dessert Recipes

    Jun 28, 2022 by Faith VanderMolen

    Summer is synonymous with ice cream, but what about fudgesicles, strawberry jam oatmeal bars, strawberry shortcake, lemon loaf cake, and of course, brownies! Find inspiration for your next vegan summer dessert recipe here!

    Summer is the best time of year for cooling down with a bowl or cone of ice cream.

    But seasonal fruit such as strawberries make delicious summer desserts as well!

    Today I'm sharing my favorite plant-based summer dessert recipes that use seasonal ingredients and/or are refreshing for the hot summer months.

    I hope you enjoy these delicious summer treats!

    My Favorite Vegan Summer Dessert Recipes

    The vegan summer dessert recipes list below has 14 recipes to choose from, but if I had to choose my top 3 recipes, they would be:

    1. The BEST Vegan Ice Cream Recipe (3 Ingredients & No-Churn!)
    2. Healthy Frozen Banana Snickers
    3. Vegan Strawberry Shortcake

    Also, don't be scared to try out my vegan zucchini brownies. They're a great way to work more veggies in and you won't notice the zucchini... I promise!
