3 Easy Vegan Desserts for the Holidays!

[@barbb841]

I think I am going to do those coconut truffle bites....yeah....yum

[@Thevietvegan]

I hope you like them! ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ

[@barbb841]

I'm sure I will. I really need to make a shopping list for when I got to an Asian market for the rest of your recipes I want to make. LOL

[@av6010]

I definitely love this style of video from you & would love to see more of it on the channel :)

[@Thevietvegan]

Glad you like it! It was actually really fun to make so maybe I'll start doing it more (◕‿◕✿)

[@Twocityvegans]

Rice crispy treats are the best. Being chocolate covered makes them even better. 😍

[@Thevietvegan]

Chocolate covered anything is always better XD

[@alazarealazare]

Love, love...LOVE these three! Cheers!!

[@JohannaZee]

I like the idea of the turtles.

[@emmak5335]

OMG! those truffles are so easy and look so good! Thank you! I'm definitely making those this Christmas!

[@kathleenswenning9915]

They look delicious, thank you!

[@RebelwheelsNYCShow]

Those truffles... *drools*

[@Thevietvegan]

They are so dangerously delicioussss

[@RebelwheelsNYCShow]

Hey quick question for ya. so i want to make this BUT all I have is cocoa powder and sugar (and I rather use that up before I start buying MORE chocolate lol). Do you think it would still work? Ever try the truffle recipe with that?

[@Thevietvegan]

Rebelwheels NYC sooo for this recipe that would definitely not work because the fat in the chocolate chips is essential for making this set. If you had coconut oil or cocoa butter (would be better texture) you could try making your own chocolate for the truffles, but honestly using chocolate chips is definitely the easiest and most foolproof way haha

[@RebelwheelsNYCShow]

The Viet Vegan I do have coconut milk but hmmm perhaps it's time to just go to the market lol. thanks :)

[@Thevietvegan]

Haha sorry I couldn't give you a lazy-friendly answer! But having a good stockpile of chocolate chips is never a bad idea ;)

[@inswidh770]

I made the crispies and the turtles!!! They were delicious and everyone loved them!! Thanks for recipe :)

[@Thevietvegan]

+N. Carroll-Gomez yay!! Happy holidays!

[@Raspbelyse]

Turtles are the best. They are a tradition at my house for the holidays. This year I will be able to bring my own !! =) P: for your chocolate dipping , add 200 g of cocoa butter to 600 g of chocolate to make it easier to dip and more fluid but it melt a 35 C so it will hold better at room temperature than coconut oil and since it'S cocoa butter, it doesnt modify that much the structure of chocolat. You can also change the ration ( 400 g cocoa butter to 600 g of chocolate) if you whant a fine outer shell or for dipping frozen stuff like popsicle ( häagen dazs style)

[@Thevietvegan]

Ooh so handy! Cocoa butter is really expensive whenever I see it, so I tend to use coconut oil instead. But I will totally keep this in mind!

[@94cubisa]

Omg the date turtle looks so so good! Def going to try it!

[@theastridgonzalez]

Def will make the truffles and turtles for thanksgiving this year 😍😋

[@CookingwithSammy]

[@Thevietvegan]

I just used regular candy canes and smashed em :)

[@JohannaZee]

Merry Christmas!

[@Thevietvegan]

Merry Christmas to you too :) (◕‿◕✿)

[@jamescorbet1262]

I am gonna try the Chocolate Ganache Truffles. Maybe add almonds.

[@Thevietvegan]

Ooh almonds would add a nice crunch. I am allergic, but I am sure you would enjoy em :)

[@patty-cf7jj]

James Corbet I was thinking the same thing, but to roll them in ground almonds instead of coconut.

[@Thevietvegan]

You could also just use cocoa powder too :)

[@shiftyourlife1111]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!😋😋😋

[@jupru220]

I like your efforts. I try to avoid coconut products because they are very high in saturated fat. I often use cacoa powder to create chocolate. That way, I have control over the sweetener (and all the ingredients in the chocolate). When cooking, I try to balance excellent taste with what is nutritionally healthy for those eating the final dish that I'm creating. I heard a doctor say, "You can eat Oreo cookies and drink Coke all day, and that would be a vegan diet. But, it's not a healthy vegan diet." Everyone should aim to eat a balanced and nutritious diet. The more processed a food, usually the less healthy it is.

[@stefania9182]

Truffles!

[@tenillestewart5370]

my costco doesn't have dairy free chocolate chips :( but all of these look super yummy :)

[@Thevietvegan]

Enjoy Life is a dairy-free brand if you want to use those, but my local grocery store chain has like a store brand bag of chocolate chips that are accidentally vegan, so be sure to check your local store/no name brands :) (The one I'm talking about is President's Choice)

[@tenillestewart5370]

Thank you ! i use the enjoy life ones sometimes ...just a little more pricey but i guess if i wanna eat sweets i should make more money lol

[@Thevietvegan]

I feel you! I get the Enjoy life ones when they're on sale because I find they taste really good :) But I never use them for chocolate coating like I do with the Costco and PC brand ones.

[@juliustheresesoria5813]

Hey just wondering if you've ever done a meet up? I just moved to Markham and I'm pretty close to you!

[@Thevietvegan]

I was going to do like a picnic/meetup with Lauren but I never got around to planning it XD I am kind of afraid that nobody would show up hahaha

[@auralglory]

I will show up! And I'll bring friends!

[@juliustheresesoria5813]

The Viet Vegan lol! I think that'd be fun to do maybe in the summer months!

[@dmandx]

Vegan PHO!!!

[@Thevietvegan]

+dmandx hahah I'll do it soon, I just don't love pho that much 🙈🙈

[@iJoshDG]

You mentioned the rice cereal didn't have malt barley, is that just because it has gluten or is it not vegan like D3? Thank you!!!

[@Thevietvegan]

It's just gluten, I was making these for GF people haha. But regular rice cereal typically has animal-derived D3 yes

[@elizabethshaw734]

The coconut oil should help it to set at room temperature.

[@Thevietvegan]

I always find coconut oil makes it melt easier haha. Maybe my apartment was too hot or something XD

[@Aliyeva1855]

You sound like Caitlin Shoemaker

[@ruthbridgeton5431]

She does, I agree!

[@diociharesibelli2547]

Can i use creamy almond milk instead

[@Thevietvegan]

+[]Xanalimarie[] not instead of coconut milk, no. The fat content in the coconut milk is essential here

[@Haruta18]

What is everyone's opinion on a good substitute for the shredded coconut?

[@Thevietvegan]

+Commander Derpchan almonds, puffed quinoa, crushed peanuts, crispy rice, cocoa powder 🤔

[@daisychahil8375]

can I use normal milk for the truffles?

[@Thevietvegan]

No, you need the full fat from the coconut milk.

[@daisychahil8375]

The Viet Vegan im actually allergic to milk, what about cream milk instead?

[@briabriapia]

[@VaniillaSummmerr]

These ingredients aren't too common

[@Thevietvegan]

I'm not sure where you live, but these ingredients are pretty available where I live in Canada. I order a lot of stuff online too, like from iHerb or VWordMarket (discount code: VietVegan). I almost always have these ingredients on hand-sometimes I need to top off my stash, and I typically have regular vegan marshmallows instead of the peppermint one.
