Table Of Contents
These easy vegan chocolate brownies are made without any milk, cream, or butter. Instead, they use substitutes for these ingredients, such as plant-based milk, oil, and dairy-free chocolate.
Dairy-free and vegan brownie recipes can be just as delicious as conventional desserts and can be made in the same way. The only difference is the ingredients that you use, and can be just as chocolate-rich as traditional recipes.
Serving Ideas
These brownies are a delicious and indulgent treat that can be enjoyed on their own or with a side. Here are the best foods to serve alongside them:.
- Dairy-Free Ice Cream: One of the best things to serve with any chocolate dessert is dairy-free ice cream. The two make a delicious and indulgent dessert, and cold ice cream pairs swimmingly with a nice warm brownie.
- Vegan Whipped Cream: Dairy-free cream is a great choice if you want a lighter topping option to serve with your brownies. Light and airy, it makes it a great contrast to the dense texture of the cake-like dessert.
- Fruit: This can be fresh fruit, such as berries, or canned fruit, such as pie filling. The tartness of the fruit will offset the sweetness of the brownies, and the two make a great combination.
