No chocolate? No problem – try these dessert recipes instead
Tired of chocolate? You’re crazy, but not alone.
We’re calling it – we are die-hard lovers of chocolate. We’re the type of bakers that must sample every block, who won’t let a chocolate shaving go to waste, and swoon over a gooey, chocolate centre. But sometimes, you just want a chocolate-free dessert.
Don’t revoke our dessert master membership just yet, these recipes are sweet and rich all on their own, no cocoa required.
So when you’re craving something sweet, why not reach for one of these dessert recipes instead.

Serve this crispy, sweet pastry hot and with your choice of cream – whipped, poured or iced. The tart cherry filling mixes with the sugary pastry for the ultimate winter strudel.
Almond Custard Tart with Mango
Okay, this tart is best suited to warm summer days with a big scoop of ice cream. But no list of chocolate-free desserts would be complete without it. We’re counting the days until mango season and this will be the very first thing we make!
