Don’t these desserts look fabulous and adorable?
All of the sweet treats in this recipe book are designed to be served in mason jars and each one is vegan. This is great for vegans and anyone who prefers to avoid or can’t have the common dessert ingredients of butter and eggs. From what I’ve seen, no one will miss the animal products because they’ll be too busy finishing up the delicious contents of their jarred dessert.
The recipes are clearly written and most are easy enough for a novice cook to follow. Most of the ingredient lists are short and contain things that I already have stocked in my pantry. Some don’t even require baking.
Dessert is always nice, but a dessert in a jar is extra special!
