If you're hunting for the very best vegan thanksgiving desserts to crown your Thanksgiving dinner, you're in the right place. I've pulled together a mix of classics and modern riffs-classic pumpkin pie, vegan cheesecake, apple pie, pecan pie, donuts, bars, muffins and more-built on simple ingredients like pumpkin purée, coconut milk, brown sugar and warm spices. Everything here keeps animal products off the table, works beautifully for guests with dietary restrictions and food allergies, and still feels like the best part of the meal.

Expect smart swaps (vegan butter or coconut oil instead of regular butter; maple syrup in place of corn syrup), tips for creamy texture, and serving ideas (try a dollop of coconut whip or a hint of vanilla bean). Whether you're planning a full vegan Thanksgiving menu with mushroom gravy and vegan stuffing or just need one show-stopper for a mixed crowd of vegans and meat eaters, these dessert recipes will make your holiday season feel extra special-Happy Thanksgiving!

And, most of all, they're very simple to prepare, they are vegan, and they are one of the greatest cookies you will ever have the delight of tasting.
