10 Best Vegan Desserts in the UK (Oatly, Magnum and More)

What could possibly be more divine than a dense, moist banana sponge cake sweetened with dates and covered in a decadent layer of coconut caramel? Perhaps one that also had candied ginger sprinkled on for good measure, we suppose. Well, dear reader, you're in luck!

Derek and Chad, the experimental chefs behind vegan snack range 'Wicked Kitchen' have created a truly lip-smacking plant-based pudding so flavourful you'll find it hard to eat just one slice. This pudding, which is topped with aromatic desiccated coconut, can be eaten hot or cold; you choose. 

Pop this gluten free vegan brownie in the oven for around ten minutes and voila! Gooey chocolate goodness and not a single creature harmed. Deliciously Ella's recipes are simple and natural, with chia seeds and cacao powder forming the basis of this pudding's sumptuous taste and texture. 

Sugar levels here are pretty high (just because it's coconut sugar, that doesn't mean it won't affect your body in the same way!) but we think it's worth it for the fact it's seriously moreish and totally cruelty-free. The saturated fat levels are also some of the lowest on our list. 

Oatly really are killing it when it comes to dairy-free treats. If their gorgeous milk alternatives weren't enough, this ice cream should swing it and make you an Oatly convert for life. Real strawberries crown the ingredients list, while the goodness of oats make for a sumptuous base. 

Free from lactose and soya, this ice cream is big on fresh, luxurious flavour and doesn't have any of the cloying sweetness that some vegan ice creams can be guilty of. The berry flavour is also lovely and tangy. Reviewers across all supermarket sites seem to be very satisfied too!

Made in Chelsea's Lucy Watson now has a vegan product range that is really very delicious. This light and airy cheesecake has the tropical tang of mango, paired blissfully with a creamy vanilla base. It's just perfect for serving up at the end of a vegan feast; minimal effort, maximum taste. 

Though it's prepared in a factory with soya and celery products, this cheesecake is entirely gluten-free as well as being plant-based and ethically-produced. Serve it up with a scoop of vegan yogurt and a handful of blueberries. Superbly crumbly and great for sharing. 

Once you've tried these mini treats, you won't go back! They are small but perfectly formed and extremely intense on taste, meaning you pace yourself naturally and enjoy every last spoonful. See who among your party can nurse their little pot for the longest.

Taking advantage of the flavoursome benefits of coconut cream and rich with cocoa powder for an indulgent chocolate kick, these little pots come in at just 100 calories per serving, meaning they make an ideal after-dinner treat even if you're trying to be healthier. 

Although we try to avoid the word, it's safe to say a Magnum ice cream has reached nigh-on iconic status in our freezers. For some of us, saying goodbye to the crack of the chocolate casing was a hard pill to swallow when going vegan. Now we must suffer no more. 

Magnum Vegan Classic uses coconut oil and pea protein to achieve a creaminess that is exceptionally close to the original dairy ice cream's texture and taste. Manageable portions stop you over-doing it, and there's also a yummy almond option if you're nuts about nuts. 

Ben and Jerry's are one of those brands you can rely on to stay ahead of the curve – whether it's the founders themselves getting arrested at protests or their push to create more plant-based ice creams, they're always striving to make the world a better place. 

We are especially fond of their vegan cookies and cream option, because it has that melt-in-the-mouth magic of cookie dough, paired with chocolatey chunks and a satisfying crunch. The fat levels are pretty agreeable, and we think the richness of flavour is totally worth a little sugar buzz.

The number one advantage of this pudding has to be the fact that it is so totally delectable while also boasting impressive gluten-free credentials. It's the kind of dessert you can serve up to any guest without anyone noticing it contains absolutely no dairy. 

Freaks of Nature pride themselves on choosing high quality natural ingredients so the flavours are really fruity and intense. This pack has two medium sized crumbles, so it works well for couples or if you want two small portions of pud; one for you, one for a friend. 

We particularly enjoy these creamy cheesecakes because they are rich in taste and smooth in texture, without using a single drop of cow's milk; and there's no gluten in sight either. Using a coconut cream alternative to dairy, these mini desserts are ideal for you and a pal.

The fact they come in cute glass ramekins means a little less waste (they can be cleaned up and re-used as candle holders!) and the small portion fills you up without the temptation to go back for more and more and more! The sugar per 100 grams is high though, so keep that in mind. 

Who would have known that Mr Kipling's gorgeous treacle tart was actually entirely dairy-free? Recommended via several 'accidentally vegan' websites, this super-sweet dessert is the perfect pick if you have family or friends who still aren't ready to embrace the vegan label.

Golden syrup oozes across the firm, sweet base of this tasty pudding, which is decorated with a delicate pastry lattice on top. Sugar levels (as with most of the puddings we've chosen) are pretty high, but saturated fat is comparably low so that has to count for something. One final benefit is that this tart actually has calcium, niacin and thiamin added to the wheat flour used in the pastry. *Strong arm emoji*
