Vegan Boston Cream Pie

Two-layer vegan almond-oat Boston cream pie with vanilla custard and dark chocolate ganache, with a slice alongside.

Two tender almond-oat cake layers hold a cool vanilla custard beneath a glossy dark-chocolate glaze. Flax replaces the eggs in this vegan adaptation, giving a denser crumb that welcomes the creamy filling and a careful, generous slice.

Cherry Chocolate Mousse

Dark chocolate cherry mousse topped with cherry halves and fine chocolate shavings.

Rich dark chocolate and bright cherries meet in a softly set mousse, lightened with whipped aquafaba and a little coconut cream. Spoon it into small glasses and let the cherries bring their lovely tart edge to each chocolate-rich bite.

No-Bake Cherry Vanilla Date and Nut Bars

Chewy cherry date and nut bars with visible chopped nuts and seeds on parchment beside a mug of tea.

Tart-sweet cherries, mellow vanilla and little pieces of almond and cashew make these chewy date bars a welcome companion to tea. No oven is needed: process, press firmly and chill, with practical tips for soft dates, a mixture that holds together and neat slices to keep in the refrigerator or freezer.

Whole-Food Plant-Based Gluten-Free Jaffa Cakes

Jaffa Cakes with orange jelly and soft dark chocolate topping on a stoneware plate, with tea and an orange half nearby.

Tender gluten-free sponge, vivid orange jelly and softly set dark chocolate make these little vegan Jaffa cakes a joyful addition to a tea tray. Follow the useful resting, setting and coating cues, prepare the layers in a comfortable order, then share a plate with tea, coffee or fresh fruit.

Vegan Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Cake

Blueberry lemon cake with a wedge removed on a white cake plate, with lemon and blue linen on light marble.

Juicy blueberries, a tender almond crumb and bright lemon make this vegan gluten-free cake a lovely reason to pause for a slice. A light lemon-vanilla glaze finishes it simply, with careful flour, berry and cooling guidance to help you bring a beautiful cake to brunch, afternoon tea or a gathering.
