Vegan Dessert Shooters

Layers of creamy chocolate pudding, ice cream, and fluffy whipped cream all stack up to make these vegan dessert shooters an all-time favorite dessert! Every layer is made dairy-free and gluten-free, creating a dessert that tastes absolutely indulgent without any allergens or even refined sugar. You'll find yourself absolutely delighted by each bite!

I built these vegan dessert shooters using some of my favorite sweet recipes and I knew I had to share. My family will be thrilled to scoop layers of dessert into their cups on New Year's Eve, but these would also be so yummy for Valentine's Day, birthdays, holidays... any occasion that calls for a little something sweet!

Vegan Dessert Shooter Flavors

You can customize these shooters with any of your favorite dessert pairings. Truly endless possibilities here! It would be so fun to make a dessert shooter bar and let everyone build their own perfect cup... and then come back for seconds and try a new pairing!

• Avocado chocolate pudding or coconut chocolate pudding
• Blender vegan vanilla ice cream, no-churn chocolate banana ice cream, or vegan mint chocolate chip ice cream. You could also source vegan ice creams from the health food section of your grocery store! How delicious would a strawberry ice cream with chocolate pudding be?!
• Finish it off with homemade coconut whipped cream (or your favorite dairy-free whipped cream from the grocery store!)

Make-Ahead Vegan Dessert

One of my favorite things about this dessert (other than how good it tastes!) is how easy it is to prep ahead of time. Make the pudding, the ice cream, and the whipped cream a day or two ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer and then just layer it up when it's time to serve! This makes the shooters ideal for entertaining, birthday parties, or just having dessert on hand whenever the sweet tooth strikes you.

Dessert Shooter Garnishes

I like to add some simple garnishes to the top of each shooter! It adds a special finishing touch that really makes these feel just right for a special occasion. Top your dessert shooters with...

• Fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
• Dye-free sprinkles
• A drizzle of melted chocolate
• Fresh mint
• Chopped nuts
• A sprinkle of coarsely ground sea salt

These dessert shooters are gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, and refined sugar-free in addition to being totally plant-based and vegan (so they're also dairy- and egg-free!). They can be made nut-free depending on which ice cream you use. I love a dessert that everyone at the table can enjoy.
