In 2020, a record number of people signed up to the Veganuary movement, and next year is likely to see even more adopt a plant-based diet during the first month of the year, and beyond. Vegan foodstuffs are becoming more readily available and awareness surrounding the environmental impact of eating meat is growing. With this in mind, we'd love to hear about your favourite vegan recipes.

Perhaps you know how to make a vegan pie that keeps even the most ardent meat-eaters happy? Or maybe you discovered a vegan ice cream recipe during your own attempt at Veganuary, and never looked back? Whether or not you consider yourself a vegan, we'd love to hear about the vegan recipes you'd recommend.

Vegan Strawberry Whipped Cream by Kristina Jug & Mitja Bezenšek is an easy spring dessert made in 15 minutes using only 4 ingredients. Turning strawberries into a dessert seems almost a sin. They are so good on their own, or just with a serving of coconut yogurt or cream. So combining them into a Vegan Strawberry Whipped Cream to make a light and easy dessert was a no-brainer. The beauty of this recipe is, you'll only need 10-15 minutes, and 4 ingredients: strawberries, sugar, vegan whipped cream, and coconut yogurt. That's it!  Do try and use fresh strawberries (not frozen) if you can, as this will really bring the full flavor of the dessert.

2. Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Orzo

The layer of vegan coconut whipped cream is completely optional but adds the special touch to this pudding by combining it perfectly with the banana mixture and peanut butter. Finally, top it off with roasted peanuts or chocolate chips to have the perfect dessert. However, if you want a simple pudding that you can eat for breakfast or snack you can give up the coconut whipped cream and stick to the creamy pudding. Either way, this Banana and Peanut Pudding by Sara Oliveira will always be a winning recipe. You are going to love this banana and peanut pudding — it has the most amazing combination of flavors and such a nice texture!

Chocolate Coconut Cream Puffs With Coconut Whipped Cream by Frugal Vegan Does it get any more decadent?! We like to make them bite size so they are the perfect portion of rich, creamy, and oh-so-fluffy goodness. It's hard to believe all that fanciness is the product of a very ordinary (accidentally-vegan) canned biscuit. It can be our little secret.

Serving up a dessert that's fresh, light, healthy, and fruity is often tricky to find, unless of course, it's a piece of fruit or flavored yogurt. This is where these Creamy Mango, Passion Fruit and Lime Pots by Jo Pratt come in. If you've not done it before, you'll be amazed at just how creamy cashew nuts become when they're blended with a little water. They make a brilliant dairy-free alternative to whipped cream. Because they're mild in flavor they make an ideal base to add fruit purées to, letting the fruit do all the talking.
