4 Vegan Desserts With Fruit To Lick Your Fingers

In winter we have a lot of delicious fruits to have for dessert or to make quick and easy desserts. Today I would like to give you a few ideas of very simple winter desserts for those who have little time but like to vary in sweets.

These recipes also serve as breakfast or as a snack, not just after meals. From them, you can also make many others, using them as a base for cakes, for example, or mixing them with other ingredients such as vegetable yogurts, oatmeal porridge, etc.

Roasted apples

It is the easiest dessert we can make. You just have to wash a few apples well, put them on a baking sheet and bake at 200º C for 25-30 minutes, until they are tender.

They are very sweet and can be eaten hot or cold. Take advantage and bake all that fit, refrigerate the leftovers and you will have dessert for a few days.

Baked Pears

Very easy too, it serves you as a dessert, as a snack or breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 4 large pears
• ½ cup of chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, etc.)
• ¼ cup raisins (or dried apricots cut into pieces)
• Cinnamon to taste

preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
2. Cut the pears in half lengthwise and remove the center, the seeds. In the holes, put the nuts and raisins, and sprinkle with the cinnamon.
3. If you want it even sweeter, you can put a few threads of maple or agave syrup on top.
4. Bake the pears for 30 minutes at 180º C or until they start to brown. They are best warm or cold, so let them cool before serving.
5. Store the leftovers in the fridge, they will last between 3 and 4 days.

Roasted strawberries

They serve you as a dessert as is or to make others. For example, to serve on top of vegetable yogurt, to make cakes or toast with sweet topping.

Ingredients:

• 500 g strawberries or strawberries
• About ½ cup of water
• 1 sprig of vanilla

preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
2. Wash the strawberries and remove the leaves. Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters if they are large and place them in a tall baking dish. For example, a glass tray suitable for baking.
3. Open the vanilla in half lengthwise and cut it in two widthwise. Put the vanilla in the mold and pour water over it. It does not have to be soupy, just enough so that they are very moist and there is a little water in the bottom.
4. Bake them at 200º C for 25-35 minutes, until they are tender and deep red.
5. Let them cool before serving. Store the leftovers in a tightly closed container in the fridge, they will last 3 days.

If you want you can make it with frozen strawberries. Let them defrost in the fridge for at least 8 hours (leave them in the fridge overnight and the next day they will be defrosted) and proceed the same way.

The frozen strawberries are much more blanditas than fresh and will release more water, so you can make a few minutes less (20-25) without adding water.

Cream cheese with citrus

The easiest and most attractive vegan cheese is yogurt. This cream cheese or vegetable labneh has a very creamy texture and a mild flavor that combines both sweet and salty.

Ingredients:

• 4 plain flavored soy yogurts (unsweetened and unflavored)
• 1/8 teaspoon of salt
• 2 oranges
• A couple of pineapple slices
• Zest of ½ lemon

preparation:

1. To make the cream cheese, empty the yogurts on a muslin or fine cloth, add the salt, mix it, close the cloth and leave it hanging to drain (you can leave it hanging from the sink tap for example) for at least 12 hours.
2. You can squeeze it a little to extract more liquid, but be careful not to let the yogurt also come out.
3. Transfer the drained yogurt to a bowl. Peel the oranges and cut them into slices.
4. Cut the pineapple into small pieces.
5. Serve the cheese with the oranges and pineapple around it, and the lemon zest on top.
