Veggie and the Beast created a sweet treat for the vegan community -- Vegan Salted Caramel Lava Cakes that incorporate ingredients that are cruelty-free.
Using coconut oil and warm water, these lava cakes are made without milk. The ingredients are simple, minimal and can be sourced from the average grocery store. Unsweetened applesauce is also incorporated into this dessert as a healthy provider of moisture, while cane sugar and vanilla extract contribute sweetness to the dish. Flax eggs aid in binding all the ingredients together and vegan chocolate chips give this recipe its high-quality cocoa taste.
This Vegan Salted Caramel Lava Cake recipe from Veggie and the Beast requires minimal preparation and cooking, though the cooling time is the longest wait of all. This dessert goes well with red wine.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Vegan Desserts
- There is an opportunity for companies to develop more savory vegan desserts that contain ingredients that are cruelty-free.
- Healthy Desserts
- Developing desserts that are made with healthy ingredients would disrupt the traditional way of making sweets.
- Minimal Ingredient Desserts
- Creating desserts with minimal ingredients that are easily accessible would greatly benefit individuals with limited accessibility to specialty ingredients.
Sectors Adopting This
- Food Industry
- The food industry can capitalize on developing vegan desserts to fill the gap in the market for cruelty-free treats.
- Health and Wellness Industry
- Incorporating healthy ingredients into desserts offers a unique opportunity for companies in the health and wellness industry to break into the dessert market.
- Hospitality Industry
- Hotels and restaurants could meet the growing demand for vegan and healthy desserts by incorporating them into their dessert menus and offerings.
