The dark chocolate flavor of this rich, coconut milk-based mousse satisfies your sweet tooth, especially if you’re a fan of a certain coconut-and-almond candy bar. Be sure to use high-quality unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder for the best flavor, plain cocoa powder tends to lend a soapy flavor to this dessert.

RD Tip: This dessert is low in added sugar while also providing some fiber, making it a great choice to satisfy your chocolate craving.

Dark Chocolate Almond Mousse

Ingredients

• 1 (14-oz/414ml) can unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
• 1 tbsp coconut sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tbsp unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
• 2 drops almond extract
• 1/4 cup (20g) sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup (15g) unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions

Open the can of coconut milk and poke a hole through the solid coconut cream in the top of the can. Pour off the liquid coconut water in the bottom of the can and reserve for smoothies.

Put 1 cup of the solid coconut cream in a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and salt and beat with a hand mixer on high until smooth and fluffy, 2 minutes. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the whipped coconut cream in a small bowl. Sift the cocoa powder over the remaining coconut cream, add the almond extract, and beat until incorporated and fluffy.

Spoon the mousse into 4 small (1/2-cup/118ml) ramekins. Dollop the reserved plain coconut whipped cream on top of each mousse and refrigerate.

In a small, dry saucepan, toast the almonds and coconut flakes over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 1 minute. Sprinkle the mousse with the almonds and coconut immediately before serving.

Serves: 4 | Serving Size: About 1/4 cup mousse, 2 tablespoon nuts/coconut

These delicious cookies combine all the flavors you love in the buttery Greek dessert, packed into a healthy little oatmeal cookie. While honey counts as added sugar, it’s not refined. Still, it’s important to consume it in moderation.  Our RD recommends 25g or less of added sugar per day so with only 5g added sugar these cookies make a perfect dessert that can fit into a healthy meal plan (1).

Active time: 15 minutes | Total time: 1 hour

Honey-Sweetened Baklava Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup (160g) honey
• 1/2 cup (65g) walnuts, chopped
• 1/2 cup (60g) pistachios, shelled and chopped
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (60g) whole-wheat pastry flour or whole-wheat flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups (148g) oats

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Continue to cook, swirling pan occasionally, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn golden brown and smells nutty, about 3 minutes.

Add the honey, walnuts, pistachios, cinnamon, salt and cloves and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until syrupy, about 2 minutes. Pour into a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Add the egg and vanilla to the honey mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour and baking soda and stir until no traces of flour remain. Add the oats, stirring to combine. The mixture will be very stiff.

Drop the batter by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches (5cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, rotating baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through baking, until crispy on the edges and golden brown, 14–18 minutes, watching carefully during the last few minutes to make sure the cookies aren’t burning. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Letting this easy blender crepe batter rest overnight in the fridge ensures tender crepes that are thoroughly infused with orange zest. This recipe makes 12 crepes, and they store well in the refrigerator for up to a week, so you can have crepes for breakfast all week. Fill the crepes with this light orange compote, a light spreading of chocolate-hazelnut spread or fresh berries and whipped cream.

Active time: 20 minutes | Total time: 40 minutes + overnight refrigeration

Overnight Orange Crepes

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups (427g) unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup (120g) whole-wheat flour 
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tbsp safflower oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp turmeric
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 medium oranges
• 1/4 cup (79g) maple syrup
• Cooking spray

Directions

Put the almond milk, flour, eggs, safflower oil, vanilla extract, turmeric, and salt in a blender and process until smooth. Zest 1 orange and add the zest to the batter. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove the peel and white pith from the oranges. Cut the orange segments away from the membranes and set aside. Squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes into a small saucepan. Add the maple syrup and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the orange segments and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Lightly coat an 8- or 9-inch (20cm or 23cm) nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Whisk the crepe batter to recombine. Pour a scant 1/3 cup batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 1 minute. Loosen the edges with a silicone spatula and flip. Cook on the second side until lightly golden, about 30 seconds.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning. To store leftovers, wrap the crepes tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Store the orange compote in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

To serve, place 2 crepes on a plate, fold into quarters, and spoon a few tablespoons of orange compote over the top. To reheat refrigerated crepes, microwave on high for about 15 seconds or warm individually in a nonstick skillet for about 30 seconds.

These mini vegan pumpkin pies are proof that plant-based desserts can be just as satisfying as the classic version. Silken tofu stands in for eggs and dairy to create a silky smooth, custard-like filling that is naturally high in protein and completely dairy-free. Warm pumpkin spices and a touch of maple syrup make these as fragrant and flavorful as any traditional pumpkin pie — and at a fraction of the effort.

Active time: 10 minutes | Total time: 45 minutes

Mini Vegan Pumpkin “Pies”

Ingredients 

• 1/2 package (6 oz./170g) firm silken tofu
• 1 cup (244g) canned pumpkin
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp almond butter
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/4 cup (79g) maple syrup

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat four 3/4- to 1-cup (96–122g) ramekins with cooking spray and place them on a sheet pan.

Place the silken tofu in a food processor and process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the pumpkin and process until smooth and well combined. Add the arrowroot, almond butter, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice and process to combine. Add the maple syrup and continue processing until the mixture is smooth.

Divide the mixture evenly among the ramekins, about 1/2 cup (64g) per ramekin, smoothing the tops.

Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the edges begin to pull away from the sides.

These fun, dairy-free pudding pops consist of layers of homemade chocolate, strawberry and vanilla “nice cream.” Made with coconut milk and soaked cashews, they’re vegan but taste like the tri-flavor ice cream you remember from childhood.

Pro tip: Let the pops stand for a few minutes at room temperature or run warm water over them to release from the molds.

Active time: 15 minutes | Total time: 8 hours, 15 minutes

Neapolitan Nice Cream Pops

Ingredients

• 1 cup (135g) raw cashew pieces
• 1 (13.5 oz./398ml) can full fat coconut milk
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 8 large strawberries, fresh or frozen
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 6 craft sticks

Directions

Place the cashews in a medium bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let soak for about 2 hours, or until softened. Drain and transfer the cashews to a blender along with the coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.

Spoon 2 tbsp of the mixture into each of 6 (1/2-cup/118ml) popsicle molds and freeze upright until firm, about 2 hours.

Pour half of the remaining mixture into a measuring cup with a spout. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth, then cover and refrigerate. Add the strawberries to the remaining mixture in the blender and blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Once the first layer is firm, pour the strawberry mixture evenly among the molds. Freeze for about 2 hours, or until firm.

Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the strawberry layer and freeze for about 2 hours more, or until firm.

To unmold, run the molds under warm water until the edges loosen and the pops release easily. Serve immediately or store in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 2 months.

This easy cobbler is a great way to use up any fresh, in-season blueberries you have but frozen blueberries are also a perfectly fine option. It’s very low in added sugar for a dessert — with most sweetness coming from the antioxidant-rich blueberries — yet it’s just sweet enough, clocking in at just over 200 calories and providing healthy fiber from oats and whole-wheat flour, as well as the blueberries (1,2,3,4).

Active time: 15 minutes | Total time: 3 1/2 hours

Slow-Cooker Blueberry-Ginger Oat Cobbler

Ingredients

• 6 cups (900g) fresh (or frozen and thawed) blueberries
• 4 tbsp packed brown sugar, divided
• 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup instant oats
• 1/2 cup (60g) whole-wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cold

Directions

In a 5–6-quart slow cooker, stir together the blueberries, 2 tbsp brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, and ½ tsp salt. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.

While the filling cooks, prepare the topping. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, 2 tbsp brown sugar, baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to gently pinch and knead until a crumbly dough forms.

After the filling has cooked for 1 hour, scatter the topping evenly over the fruit mixture. Cover and cook on high for an additional 2 1/2 hours, or until the filling is bubbly and thick and the topping is cooked through.
