Vegan Desserts Are a Treat for Your Taste Buds and for Animals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These winning pies show how chefs are reimagining one of America\u2019s most iconic desserts without a single egg or drop of dairy. <\/em>Vegan foods are kind to mother cows, who want to nurture their babies\u2014but on dairy farms, workers take their calves away so the milk meant for them can be sold to humans. Mother hens suffer for non-vegan desserts too, as workers in the egg industry use them as egg-producing machines until their bodies give out and they\u2019re sent to slaughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By choosing rich cashew creams, luscious coconut\u2011based fillings, and other delectable vegan options, you can help keep calves with their moms and hens with their flock. Go vegan today\u2014PETA\u2019s free\u00a0vegan starter kit<\/a> can help those looking to make the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
