Enjoy a 100% Vegan Christmas Dinner Menu, entirely made from scratch with some creative and festive ideas from starter to dessert. Also, don’t miss my bonus with homemade vegan edible gifts!
So many people feel completely lost when one or two of their guests happen to be vegetarian, or “worse”, vegan, especially during the holidays season. “What am I gonna cook or bake for him/her?” is a question that often comes back in these situations.
This year Christmas is going to be vegan. And no, you don’t necessarily need to be vegan yourself to make these recipes. The idea behind this project is mostly to show you how vegan cuisine can actually be creative, fun, and delicious, even for the Holidays. These last two weeks, I took up the challenge to create for you a 100% Vegan Christmas Menu. I now gathered all the recipes, plus added a few other festive vegan recipes I personally love, including a Christmas brunch recipe (with video!). As a bonus, don’t miss my vegan DIY edible gifts as well!
A 3-Course Vegan Christmas Dinner Menu
1. Caramelized Red Onions Polenta Bites
These easy polenta bites topped with caramelized red onions, sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts make a lovely and original “mise en bouche”.
2. Pineapple-Ginger Tempeh Parmentier
This festive tropical coconut parmentier made with ginger marinated tempeh and grilled pineapple will bring a hint of exoticism to your plate!
3. Vegan Caramel Gingerbread Naked Cake
This festive vegan gingerbread naked cake with generous caramel frosting layers and sugared cranberries on top makes a beautiful dessert for the holidays or anytime in winter.
Holidays Brunch Time!
4. Vegan Orange Cranberry Scones
These Orange Cranberry Scones are very festive and extremely easy to bake. Made with a perfect crumbly texture and bursting with juicy flavors, they are also entirely vegan!
