Planning an elaborate dessert platter is an ideal way to make all the dessert-loving dads happy on International Men’s Day. Desserts always hold a special place in the hearts of all the dads who love sneaking sweets. Be it cakes, cookies, puddings, or tiramisu, chocolate offers a thousand ways to bring that big smile to their faces. But it is sad when just one ingredient stops some people from having all the fun. Due to various dietary restrictions, preferences, and cultural beliefs, regular cakes that contain eggs often become inedible for many. However, to find an alternative way, eggless dessert ideas can be explored
Eggless Sweet Treats For Dads: Desserts That Welcome Everyone
Whether someone is allergic to eggs or prefers vegetarian desserts, eggless options can actually be the safer ones to go for. With substitutes like vinegar, baking soda, yogurt, and buttermilk, dessert options are plenty to choose from. This International Men’s Day, try these eggless dessert ideas for dads to add some extra sweetness to the celebrations.
Eggless Chocolate Cake
This year, try baking an eggless version of the classic chocolate cake. In this recipe, eggs are replaced by vinegar and baking soda, while the other ingredients include flour, sugar, butter, vanilla essence, cocoa powder, and some semisweet chocolate chips.
For extra richness, some vegetable oil can be added, while some milk is good for that extra percentage of moisture. A dairy-based ingredient, like yogurt or buttermilk, is ideal for the soft and tender texture of the cake. Cocoa powder remains the primary source of the signature flavor of the frosting as well. Some espresso powder can be added as well to enhance the flavor of the rich buttercream frosting. Bake this cake to include all the cake-loving fathers in this year’s celebrations.
Moist Eggless Vanilla Cake
For a dessert-loving father, a classic vanilla cake is the simplest yet purest form of love. While the traditional recipe includes eggs, here is a tweaked version for everyone who doesn’t consume eggs. After all, why should eggetarians have all the fun?
Made with flour, sugar, baking soda, vinegar, butter, milk, and vanilla essence, this egg-free cake yields a perfect rise and a soft and moist crumb.
For that perfect rise, consider mixing vinegar and baking soda as they react chemically to release carbon dioxide, which aerates the batter and helps to leaven the cake. The addition of yogurt can be considered as well to make the cake fluffy and tender, as yogurt gives a lovely soft crumb to the eggless vanilla cake. For garnishing, add some sprinkles on top.
Chocolate Pudding
Chocolate pudding defines comfort through simplicity. This sweet, soft, and creamy dessert made from milk and chocolatey goodness is everyone’s favorite. Try this eggless recipe to celebrate the sweetest dads. This is often served as a chilled, custard-like dessert, while some other variations include baked pudding with a cake-like texture.
To prepare this custard-like dessert, all it takes is some of the pantry staples. Start by heating milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch in a saucepan until it thickens. Here, the cornstarch replaces eggs for thickening. Cook the mixture for a minute once it starts to boil. Stir in some butter and vanilla extract. Once it is ready, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving.
Vanilla Parfait
This is another soft and creamy dessert made from a combination of vanilla mousse or pudding, whipped cream, and cookie crumbs. Here, the creamy layers and crunchy components bring diversity in taste, texture, and flavor.
Several parfait recipes include fruits as well for layering. Often served in a glass, this lusciously creamy dessert always wins every dessert lover’s heart.
While it sounds lavish, assembling the dessert is actually quite simple. Proper layering is key to making a perfect parfait. Eggless mousse or pudding forms the base, and the creamy layers include generous amounts of whipped cream. Crushed cookies bring the right amount of crunch to create the signature texture. Once assembled, it can be garnished with a sprig of mint, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.
Chocolate Cream Pie
A chocolate cream pie is a baked pie filled with luscious chocolate cream or custard. Every single bite of this ooey-gooey dessert brings a lot of comfort and joy. Often served with a dollop of whipped cream on top, this can be the star dessert of any celebration.
To make this, start by baking the traditional pastry shell for the crust. Next, prepare the creamy filling with melted chocolate, milk, whipped cream, sugar, cornstarch, and butter. Fill up the crust with this layer of creamy fillings. Before serving, add a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream over the cooled filling. For garnishing, one may consider some chocolate shavings.
This men’s day, let all the dads feel appreciated for all their silent struggles and unwavering support. Bake these eggless desserts and spread the joy. Let them live, laugh, and love more than ever.
