Céad Mile Fáilte! If you’re looking for recipes to enjoy while you and your friends don a bunch of shamrock covered gear, then look no further. After all, you’re going to need to fuel up in order to have the energy to pinch all of the people who, tragically, forgot they were supposed to wear green into the office. Poor Susan. She’s gonna get the worst of it if last year’s debacle is to be repeated.
Celebrated in honor of the patron saint of Ireland, the more secular and better known version of Saint Patrick’s Day has long been enjoyed with green tinted or traditional Irish food and lots of liquor. This can sometimes be a bit problematic if you keep your diet plant-based in that stews, rich treats and stout infused fare are rarely without animal products. That is, until now. From a completely vegan “Lamb” stew to plant-based Irish “Cream” Cheesecake, there are plenty of things on this list to appease the fairies (which include leprechauns btw) this holiday. Sláinte!
Poor Man’s Cookie Bars With Cinnamon Whiskey Icing [Vegan]
Who says you need to break the bank to celebrate? These indulgent cookie bars punch way above their weight, and that cinnamon whiskey icing is basically liquid luck in frosting form.
Colcannon Quesadillas
Ireland meets Mexico in this genius mashup of the beloved potato-and-cabbage classic. Crispy, creamy, and utterly unexpected — St. Paddy would absolutely approve.
Mint Cacao Kiss [Raw, Gluten-Free]
Cool, chocolatey, and as fresh as a morning in County Clare. These little bites prove that raw treats can be every bit as festive as anything baked.
Vegan Irish ‘Lamb’ Stew
All the hearty, soul-warming comfort of a traditional Irish stew — zero compromise on flavor, and not a single animal in sight. This one’s a showstopper.
Silky, boozy, and deeply chocolatey — this cheesecake is the kind of dessert that makes people forget to ask whether it’s vegan. Just let them enjoy it.
Two of Ireland’s greatest contributions to happiness, combined into this one ridiculously good treat. Make a double batch. You’ll need it.
Chocolate Stout Cupcakes With Irish Cream Frosting [Vegan]
Dark, rich stout baked right into the cake, topped with a cloud of Irish cream frosting. These cupcakes are basically a pint and a dessert rolled into one.
St. Patty’s Day Shake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
Thick, green, and gloriously festive — this shake is what happens when a milkshake puts on its best shamrock outfit. Sip it slowly and enjoy every drop.
When the weather’s grey and the craic is flowing, nothing hits quite like a deep, dark stout stew. This one’s packed with vegetables and big enough to feed the whole clan.
