1. Gluten-Free Vegan Ninjabread Men
This recipe is dairy-free, egg-free, and gluten-free for a fun holiday treat! Instead of using eggs, this recipe uses a shortening and gluten-free flour blend! We like using ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to add a holiday vibe to these sweet cookies.

3. Gluten-Free Brownie
This dairy-free and gluten-free option is excellent for creating a flaky crust on top of the dessert with dark cocoa powder, gluten-free powder, and vanilla extract for extra sweetness.

These gluten-free peppermint cookies are the perfect Christmas or winter treat on a snowy day. We love making these and having them with a cup of hot chocolate or a sweet candy cane.
Although the recipe calls for butter, you can make this tasty treat with a vegan butter substitute, gluten-free rice and flour blend, and gluten-free candy canes.
Bake the cookies in the oven for 12 minutes or until the cookies spread out slightly on the baking sheet.
8. Gluten-Free Gingerbread Chocolate Chip Cookies
Gingerbread isn’t just for Christmas! Try this recipe because chocolate goes so well in desserts — and don’t worry, you can use vegan chocolate, so this dessert is dairy-free and gluten-free!

Use ripe bananas, sugar, xanthan gum, and a gluten-free flour blend to make this easy bread instead of eggs!

This super simple banana bread goes well with a latte in the afternoon or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
17. Gluten-Free Blueberry Streusel Muffins
Muffins may not be your regular dessert choice, but anything with streusel on top will surely change your mind! Desserts can come in all shapes and sizes, so don’t skip muffins in your choices.
These muffins would be perfect with your coffee at breakfast. However, the streusel topping takes it to the next level! If blueberries aren’t your favorite, try cherries. Then, just use almond, coconut, or rice milk and vegan butter for the topping!
18. Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Coconut Cream Pie
Adding lots of coconuts adds natural sweetness that you don't need to substitute with sugars or artificial ingredients!
Use Live Again Vegan Instant vanilla pudding, canned coconut milk, coconut extract, vegan graham-style cookie crumbs, and Live Again Vegan Whipped Topping mix for this multi-layered treat!

Hot fudge is a versatile dessert and sauce you can put on any dessert! You can add hot fudge to a fruity dessert, like a strawberry shortcake, and hot sauce to brownies, cookies, ice cream, cupcakes, and other popular desserts.
This recipe uses vegan butter, powdered sugar, coconut milk, and pure vanilla extract to give it the right sweetness.
We recommend bringing the sauce to a simmer for 2-3 minutes to avoid burning the liquid and getting it to the right temperature.
26. Dairy-Free Chocolate Peppermint Creamer
This peppermint creamer is the perfect addition to coffee or hot cocoa in winter!
If you are in the holiday spirit, this chocolate peppermint creamer adds enough sweetness that you will forget the day of using packets of sugar and half & half for your coffee creamer!

31. Gluten-Free Funfetti Cookies
Funfetti cookies add just the right amount of sweetness and color to an otherwise-boring dessert! Of course, cookies are always a good idea, but this pop of color and white chocolate chips adds another dimension to typical chocolate chips.
We recommend using instant pudding mix, white chocolate chips, and gluten-free sprinkles to make this yummy recipe. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
