10 delicious Eggless Mango Desserts you NEED to make before the season ends. I can’t say it enough even though I keep repeating myself over and over again, mango season is a season we love to love here on the subcontinent! If there’s one thing that makes the Indian summer bearable, it’s definitely mangoes.
There is just SO MUCH you can do with mangoes and for me the most fun thing to do is create eggless desserts around mangoes! We’re now looking at the last month of the mango season here on the subcontinent and yes, there are still loads of ripe, juicy, delicious mangoes available. This Eggless Mango Trifle Pudding I shared recently is too delicious and so refreshing. It’s really simple as well!
I’d say grab a few kilos, chop and freeze some for smoothies etc, make a few jars of eggless mango curd and freeze them for later perhaps, else go ahead a try some of the recipes I’ve shared below. Of course, there are several more egg free mango desserts on the blog too.
There’s never a better time to get your mango dessert skills sharpened and most of my dessert recipes are simple and straightforward {read fuss free}. I’m sharing a selection of bake and no bakeeggless mango desserts, most of them one bowl recipes and honestly, this is just a handful. I have to confess that my favourite part is garnishing them because the pop of ‘mango‘ colour always brightens the dessert table!
Most of the eggless mango desserts are make ahead and I love that freshly diced mango adds such a pop of colour to the garnish. Throw on a few fresh organic rose petals {I grow my own desi gulab}, maybe fresh mint, some chili flowers and you’re good to go!

When life gives you mangoes, you make this tart! A crisp biscuit crumb gives way to a nice bite of slightly tart mango, then the sweetness of mascarpone floods the palette. The jelly really makes this shine!
When you think of a match made in heaven, count this in. A flavourful moist crumb, deep mango in every bite and a quick simple frosting that makes this eggless cake so special!
Hello mango season, my favourite season of all! This no bake, eggless, no gelatine cheesecake celebrates the best summer has to offer, nature is currently a riot of colours.
With layers of absolute deliciousness, it's another dessert that screams summer! A light sponge {part wholegrain}, a stabilized vanilla cream, diced mangoes {I used slightly tart mangoes here}, eggless mango curd poured over… and repeat. What's not to love? I love the play of textures and flavours, the refreshing bites of fresh mango and the slightly tart mango curd all please the palate. If you don't have a 4" dessert box, go ahead and turn this into a layer cake or trifle.
Light, gentle, refreshing and so creamy even though there’s no cream in it!, this is dessert perfect for summer when mangoes are aplenty! I love the beautiful set, though you can set it in bowls as well if you don’t want the extra fuss.
If dreamy desserts are what you crave, if you love mangoes as much as we do, this tin box cake is for you! With mangoes, cream, saffron & pistachios, this eggless Mango Dream Cake is deeply delicious and so satisfying!Makes one tin cake {5.5x3inch}
Eggless Cherry Chocolate Tart Cake … delicious dessert ideas now that cherries are flooding the market! With the summer heat almost unbearable, with the temperature hovering between 45°C- 47°C for days on end, it’s summer fruit like these that make the days bearable! Even better and kind of indulgentif you pair them with dessert!
Say cherries and you have my attention! Take a look at the different kinds of desserts you can make with this bright and cheerful stone fruit. Cherriesin season add a splash of colour and endless possibilities for desserts. The hotter it gets in the plains of North India, the juicier and sweeter the cherries get, the more inspired I feel.
For a non alcoholic version or if you don’t have cherry brandy on hand, a simple cherry juice works beautifully as well. All you need to do is simmer a handful of juicy red cherries in about half a cup water with a dash of sugar until soft. Strain out the juice, add a dash of lime and cool it. Get even more creative with it, add a little agar agar powder and voila, you have cherry jellylike the one I’ve used below or in the Eggless Chocolate Cherry Flower Cake here.
About this cake, I absolutely love how beautifully chocolate pairs with cherries here. I also love how hungrily my one bowl part wholewheat cake soaks up the generous glug of Kirsch {or a simple sugar syrup} giving you a really moist cake.
The tart cake is one I make quite often, and this tart tin was one of my best buys. It’s given me endless joy! I’ve had such a great time thinking up flavours and combinations and the result is always pleasing and ever so satisfying. I keep trying to pick a favourite but I think I love each one I make.Tart cakeslook quite pretty as well, don’t you think?
That’s what I love about flavour pairings and desserts. You can always customise dessert for friends and family; it’s easy as easy can be. Whether it’s a black forest tart cake, a walnut/pecanorange nut cake, a tiramisu inspired one, raspberry chocolate, chocolate pistachio or then a seasonal favourite like saffronmango, there’s always something for everyone.
I love to soak the cake somewhat generously, sometimes just as it comes out of the oven which makes it all the more delicious. So there you go, so many flavours, so many combinations in this Raised Flan Tin which is the best baking tin ever! Do tell me if you try the recipe, and do tell me what your favourite flavour pairings are.
This Eggless Cherry Chocolate Tart Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert perfect for hot summer days when cherries are abundant. The tart cake is one I make quite often, and this tart tin was one of my best buys.

Eggless Orange Almond Pecan Cranberry Chocolate Chip Pound Cake … this pound cake is everything good, actually JUST TOO GOOD! I used to bake a really nice orange pound cake when I used to bake with eggs. It had a wonderful crumb and each bite was moist and satisfying. One bite of this eggless pound cake and the memories just came tumbling in. It was exactly as I remembered, ONLY BETTER!!
Addictive, bursting with flavour, rich , indulgent, moist, great dense crumb, sliced beautifully, kept well, travelled well too. It’s not often that you find so much good in a single cake but this one certainly ticked all the boxes. And oh my, the pecans, cranberries and chocolate chips together do create some sort of magic in there.
There’s always been an endless charm about the quintessential pound cake, a connection to the years gone by. When I began baking, a pound cake was one of the earliest things I’d bake on repeat, the history behind this classic European tea cake making the recipe simple to remember … a pound of flour, a pound of eggs, a pound of sugar, a pound of butter it sang in my head!
Other times I’d bake a chocolate pound cake or an orange pound cake that I would always have ready when the kids came home from school. At the time, we travelled to the US often and I carried back a few basic bundt tins and they were perfect to bake a pound cake in.
Another recipe was the Blueberry Lime Buttermilk Pound Cake that I baked occasionally as a very special treat since anything blueberry was hard to come by back in the day. Not so now, since blueberries in every form are very easily available here now – fresh, frozen, dried, dehydrated …
The years went by and my favourite pound cake got forgotten because I stopped baking with eggs. Then last year I made an Eggless Pistachio Cranberry Loaf Cake, essentially a pound cake, and I was smitten! I feel in love with the gentle flavours, the rich delicate crumb, and addictive indulgent taste.
Natural orange as a flavour in cakes is something I truly love, something so easily achievable. This winter, the local bazaar has been flooded with carts of fresh, juicy oranges, called ‘kinnow/keenu‘locally, a high yield mandarin orange hybrid. I thought instantly of the Eggless Strawberry Orange Tart Cake that I had made a while ago that was bursting with fresh flavour. I definitely had ORANGE on my mind and I wanted to try something new.
I was juicing oranges that morning and decided to bake an orange pound cake since I always like to use the zest. I was pretty excited already at the batter stage when I saw all these flavors and that delicate orange colour come together. I knew this was going to taste good and I wasn’t wrong!
Once the cake cooled down completely, I gingerly sliced it not sure what to expect. It tasted amazing, quite addictive actually. As kids, we used to get something called a sliced Britannia cake in the local market. It was thinly sliced, gently sweet and quite buttery. One bite of the sliced eggless orange pound cake and it took me back to my childhood.
Now that I’ve been baking cakes for too many years, I can well imagine what might have gone into that Britannia Cake! Compared to that cake, my honest to goodness, from scratch, home baked version was a million times tastier! Prettier too. The cake disappeared pretty soon and I was back to juicing oranges and baking pound cakes on repeat!
It’s this particular version, the Eggless Orange Almond Pecan Cranberry Chocolate Chip Pound Cake, that I found we loved the most. It has a bit of everything, almost like a Christmas fruit cake and as delicious! There’s something about the pairing of orange, chocolate chips, cranberries and pecans that makes the taste buds come alive. Fresh, exciting flavours, a wonderful bite to the already rich crumb, absolute simple goodness! It’s love at every bite honestly, do try the recipe!

These always bake up perfect as you might have noticed and inspire me to create endless desserts using this very simple, one bowl, eggless recipe as the base. Infinite possibilities as you can see, and these are only a handful. If you stop by my feed on Instagram, you’ll know what I’m talking about!
You can find most of my recipes on Instagram on my recipe handle PAB Recipes and some here on my blog. The Ombre Blueberry Cheesecake is one I shared very recently on the blog. It’s much too delicious and really simple to make. I hope you try try making it. Anything ombre gets my vote and this was so worth it!
Did I tell you that the 4 ingredient blueberry cream cheese filling and frosting in this eggless Blueberry Chocolate Cake is finger licking good? Very addictive, delicious actually, it’s light, creamy, smooth, glossy and doesn’t get too firm like a buttercream. Do make sure you use a nice full fat cream cheese to get it to the right consistency. Unlike traditional frostings, this blueberry frosting doesn’t use cups and cups of icing sugar to get it going. I used just enough to sweeten it if you know what I mean.
The blueberry compote adds a ton of flavour and moistness to this pretty as a picture Blueberry Chocolate Cake, the drips of blueberrysyrup quite delightful. I have a detailed blueberry compote recipe on the blog if you like. It’s quite the perfect,simple recipe that comes together in 10 minutes.
Once the cakes are baked and the blueberry compote is ready and cool, assembling doesn’t take a lot of time. Once assembled, I like to chill the cake for a couple of hours for it to get moist and for the flavours to mature. After that, slice this addictive good, earthy Blueberry Chocolate Cake & ENJOY!
This layered eggless cake is one of those where chocolate lovers meet blueberry lovers, the best of both worlds really! The one bowl eggless cake is as simple as the blueberry cream cheese filling & frosting. The recipe is really a cake walk!Makes one 6" dessert cake

There’s something about berries that makes desserts interesting and exciting, delicious too obviously. Berries offer endless charm and endless ways to create dessert. Another great idea for desserts is playing with different hues of the same or similar colours to create creating ombre patterns. I’ve also found that chocolate often brings these desserts together beautifully!

SimplestEggless Pecan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread … Wholegrain, one bowl, quick and addictively good! It’s that time of the year where baking takes over my world and this bread is something I bake often! Actually really often because this banana bread is addictive good and just too delicious. It always hits the right spot and is pure comfort, just how a good banana bread should be!
Despite it being wholegrain, it is moist, moorish, earthy and disappears really quickly at home. All you need is a bowl and a whisk. The recipe uses pretty standard ingredients and I always have a large bunch of bananas on hand. Getting to the last slice sends me into banana bread baking mode, and I’m certainly not complaining. Did I tell you that the buttery pecan nuts really add a handsome bite to the bread? Of course, they are also a great add to desserts!
The pecan is a nut from a species of hickory trees native to northern Mexico and the Southern United States. The nut is a nutrition powerhouse loaded with vitamins and minerals. Raw pecans are cholesterol-free, sodium-free, and low in carbohydrates. With their rich, buttery flavor and natural sweetness, they make a tasty and satisfying snack.

This Eggless Pecan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a delicious breakfast option and doubles up quite nicely as perfect dessert too. Going eggless with my baking has taught me that bananas make a fine egg substitute and are often the key to moist delicious bakes. I was never a fan of banana in my bakes but began making the banana bread on reader request on Instagram. I was sold!!
This is a recipe I’ve made over the years and I simplify it each time I bake it. It’s been baked by so many of you with simple substitutes, olive oil instead of ghee, jaggery instead of sugar, into cupcakes and even a sheet cake. It never disappoints!
I’ve made a Biscoff version as well and that hit the ball out of the park. I have to confess I now find the Biscoff Banana Bread dangerously addictive and very very satisfying. You can find that recipe here. It turned out quite pretty and makes for a really nice edible gift ♥ like this pecan version!!
In this Eggless Pecan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread I’ve used wholewheat flour (our everyday aata if you run an Indian pantry), ghee/clarified butter and brown sugar, and simply hand mixed everything together in a large bowl. It always turns out excellent. Do try it if you have well ripened bananas on hand; I’m sure you’ll love it too! It’s comfort in a loaf, is always good to have on hand when hunger strikes AND it also makes for a really nice holiday gift. Happy Holidays!
