When Marelle Voux first committed to a vegan lifestyle, she quickly realized that desserts were her greatest challenge.
Growing up, her family always ended dinners with something sweet, but most of those recipes were filled with refined sugar, butter, and cream. Rather than giving them up, Marelle decided to reimagine them in a way that aligned with her new plant-based journey.
Her kitchen slowly became a place of quiet experimentation. She swapped white sugar for natural alternatives like dates and maple syrup, and she leaned on coconut milk and cashews to recreate the creamy textures she once loved.
Marelle recalls one evening where she finally nailed her version of a chocolate mousse: “I took a bite and it didn’t feel like a compromise at all—it felt like discovery,” she said with a smile.
Friends began asking her to share her creations at gatherings, and what started as a personal quest soon became a small collection of recipes that carried her name.
Marelle’s favorites include raspberry chia pudding, avocado cacao brownies, and lemon cashew cheesecakes. Each dessert offers indulgence without the sugar rush, something that both her body and taste buds now thank her for.
Today, Marelle insists that anyone can enjoy desserts without guilt if they approach them with creativity. Her story is a reminder that choosing health doesn’t mean abandoning joy. Instead, it’s about reshaping traditions into something new—something sweeter in more ways than one.
