Last Minute Vegan Gluten Free Desserts

At my house, it's officially crunch time! Cranberry sauce has been made, pies are in progress, the turkey is brining away -- and it's times like these when I usually get a frantic phone call and a last minute addition to our holiday table. It's not that I mind, but it certainly can throw a wrench into my perfectly orchestrated plans, particularly when there are additional food allergies involved. Gluten free? Me too! Vegetarian? You got it. Dairy free / Vegan? Well, now... Let's talk turkey tofurky. Here are 3 fantastically simple gluten free and vegan (GFCF / milk/dairy free and eggless!) desserts that you can put together in no time, whether for unexpected guests or as a host/ess gift, these decadent desserts will have everyone asking for the recipe!

Pumpkin Pie with Hazelnut Crust
Decadence in a(n almond meal) pie crust!

Pumpkin Cheesecake with Pecan Praline Topping
You may not be able to pull one over on your guests, but you'll certainly show them how delicious vegan (and gluten free!) baking can be!

Spiced Quince
If you don't already love quince fruit, this recipe will quickly fix that! Pefect a la mode with coconut ice cream -- mmm!
