The Idea of Vegan Dessert ...

...just SOUNDs awful, doesn't it? Think again. It's Sugar High Friday time, when food bloggers scurry into their respective kitchens to rustle up a delectable dessert. This month, however, host Becks & Posh challenged us to Sugar LOW Friday. Just look what we cooked -- including oh such amazing no-egg, no-butter and no-cream (and even non-honey) vegan desserts! The vegan standouts included ...

... a blackberry almond bundt cake, a savory edamame snack, fruity-nutty haroset, orange and date salad, summer pudding, an amazing tangerine crush, tropical triangles, vegan chocolate mousse, a breakfast option lemon-cornmeal waffles and finally, warm quince poached in samos wine. What a lineup!

PLUS: several recipes used honey for sweetener but otherwise are vegan. There's a cardamom citrus fruit salad, quinoa cream with candied orange peel, spiced vanilla and marsala poached pears and also date and walnut loaf.

Are vegan desserts awful? Not when food bloggers are in the kitchen!
