    Vegan dessert recipes?

    I am having some people over for supper tomorrow night, and one of them has an egg and dairy allergy. I would like to make a dessert that she can eat. Does anyone have a great recipe, or a website they can recommend for searching for something to make?
    I would try to adjust a regular recipe as I have some experience with substituting coconut oil for butter and flax seed meal or banana for eggs, but so many recipes depend on whipping egg whites for fluffiness and I am not sure how to substitute for eggs for this purpose.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    Egg substitute can be tricky to use, I have a relative with this allergy and we just cook entirely different food rather than the substitutes. I make fruit crisp for him: Fruit/cinnamon/flour and topping oats/flour bit of canola oil to moisten topping- also good with some ground nuts in topping............I never use butter anymore- it is shocking (sorry Paula Dean) how good everything is with canola oil instead- equal moistness and texture for baked goods if you use honey instead of sugar (use 40% less)

    Thai rice pudding (basically black rice, coconut milk, and whatever vegan sweetener you want to use). Yummmy. Here's one recipe - it calls for sugar, but for a vegan version, use something like agave nectar or rice syrup.

    And +1 on the chocomole, that stuff is amazing!

    I was quite pleased to see a vegan granulated sugar at Whole Foods recently. We try to avoid beef/pork, so I prefer not to consume regular white sugar. This subs into recipes perfectly - though I often like the taste/texture provided by agave.

    The chocamole made me think of this recipe and I had to share. Also vegan, and really, really good. I've made it multiple times and they are always a big hit...particularly the ones with a couple of salt grains on them.

    My husband requested that I don't call them 'fudge bombs' so they are just fudge date balls in our house.

    I am going to try to make a vegan tapioca pudding using trader joes vanilla hemp milk. That chocomole recipe looks amazing!
