What are the most popular vegan Italian desserts?
Vegan Italian desserts have serrrrrriously come a long way from the sad fruit cups you spot lurking in the corner of the restaurant menu while you cry into your napkin.
Cloud-like bomboloni stuffed with vanilla cream, silky panna cotta, cannoli, all of that. A lot of classic Italian desserts are surprisingly easy to veganize too, since things like cashews, coconut milk, aquafaba, and dairy-free butter step in like total champions.
Are zeppole traditionally dairy-free?
Because my wife's dad owned a ton of pizza spots and did it this way, I always sorta assumed that all pizza places made their zappole vegan, just using leftover pizza dough.
The main culprit you have to watch for is bone char sugar. Get a certified organic powdered sugar, and suddenly your kitchen smells like an old-school Italian bakery in the best possible way.
Coconut panna cotta is probably your new best friend. It's ridiculously simple to make, sets up great in the fridge, and somehow still looks like you fully have your life together when you unmold it onto a plate. Stuff like affogato, and biscotti are also super beginner-friendly.
