At One Green Planet, we don’t believe in being restricted from your favorite foods due to allergies and we definitely don’t believe that allergies should keep you from indulging in decadent desserts. If there’s one thing about soy, it’s that it shows up in a lot of store-bought things — not just desserts. From frozen foods that you wouldn’t think would have soy in them, to savory snacks, and sweets, you run into soy just about everywhere.
The great thing about making desserts at home is that you can control what ingredients go into it. So, if you’re soy-free, you don’t have to worry! We’ve even taken away the problem of finding vegan and soy-free recipes by putting together these 15 creamy, soy-free, and dairy-free desserts! You’re welcome.
1. White Chocolate Caramel Crackle
These White Chocolate Caramel Crackles are easy to make and they’re a healthier way to satisfy your craving for something sweet. They’re raw, refined sugar-free, and they’re gluten-free, too! Puffed brown rice is enveloped in a thick date caramel and then coated with rice white chocolate made from cacao and coconut butter. These little treats are the perfect gift for anyone.
2. Chocolate Cauliflower Bars
Cauliflower in a chocolate treat may not sound like everybody’s cup of tea, but like black bean brownies and chickpea chocolate chip cookies, the hidden healthy ingredient is undetectable. The cauliflower in these Chocolate Cauliflower Bars makes the bars creamy and mousse-like and chopped walnuts are mixed in for texture. Alternatively, you could stir some extra chocolate pieces into the mix before baking for even more chocolatey texture. Keep these stashed in your refrigerator and snack on them when you feel like a little something sweet.
