Alessia’s Top Picks for Low-Fat Vegan Desserts

Alessia was resolved not to give up her sweet taste even when she chose to go vegan. She says, grinning, “I have a major love affair with desserts.”

She found over time that creating low-fat vegan delicacies is not as difficult as it sounds and equally wonderful. Her selections below show how completely feasible healthy enjoyment is.

Her celestial fruit sorbet is first on the list. You just need a blender, some frozen fruit—mango, berries, or pineapple—and a little plant-based milk. To accentuate the taste, Alessia enjoys sprinkling a little fresh mint. You get a creamy texture without any heavy cream, she says. “It’s fresh, vivid, and utterly guilt-free.”

Her lovely cream made from chocolate bananas comes next. She stirs frozen bananas with unsweetened cocoa powder and a little almond milk. She occasionally tosses a date or two for additional sweetener.

The bananas make it sweet and creamy, Alessia says. “It’s like having soft-serve ice cream but without the sugar assault.” For a delightful crunch, she even tops with some finely cut nuts.

Third recommendation from Alessia is a baked pear treat. She halves ripe pears, lightly cinnamon-flavored them, and bake them till tender and caramelized. She says, “It’s amazing how much natural sweetness comes out of fruit when you bake it.” If you like a sweeter taste, pour agave or maple syrup.

Chocolate aficionados often turn to a basic avocado-chocolate mousse. She combines ripe avocado with cocoa powder, a little bit of maple syrup, a little vanilla essence. “Trust me; you won’t taste the avocado,” she says. “It’s rich, thick, and absolutely fulfilling.”

Alessia stresses at last the need of using healthy ingredients. She advises substituting natural sweeteners include dates, bananas, or a bit of agave for refined sugar. “You’ll be amazed at how great desserts can be when you focus on natural flavors,” she says.

Whether you’re brand-new to veganism or just looking for better dessert choices, Alessia’s selections are sure to dance on your taste receptors. Try these to find how easy it can be to enjoy sweet sweets without sacrificing taste or loading on fat.
