If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing dessert, can you really go past a rich chocolate cake? This vegan offering by Plantitude at Woolworths is an absolute classic, boasting a perfectly fudgy base and a luxurious layer of dairy-free chocolate ganache.

Woolworths Free From: Gluten Dairy-Free Chocolate CheesecakeA slice of layered chocolate and biscuit pie topped with a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream on a white plate, spoon beside it.

Yes, vegan cheesecake is a real thing – and it’s incredible. This chocolate-infused cheesecake at Woolworths is completely dairy-free, egg-free, and gluten-free – so it’s an especially great option if you’re catering to a mix of dietary requirements.

Plantitude: Golden Granola Cookies (5-pack) A stack of plant-based chocolate chip biscuits on a white plate next to a blue spotty mug of tea on a pink-orange checked tablecloth.

Delectable Vegan Desserts at Coles

Nature’s Kitchen: Plant-Based Chocolate Cupcakes (2-pack)Four plant-based chocolate cupcakes with vegan chocolate icing sit on a round white plate placed on a wooden table.

I swear these cute little vegan chocolate cupcakes are magnetic; I can’t walk past them at Coles without picking them up. As soon as you get a taste of their chocolateyness, you’ll understand why – they’re soft, indulgent, and verging on addictive.

Coles Lemon & Raspberry Flavoured Tarts (6-pack)A plastic pack of Coles Lemon & Raspberry tarts, six plant-based tarts with two fillings—one bitten, ideal for vegan treats.

Zingy, jammy, and wrapped in golden shortcrust pastry, these cheerful, crumbly little tarts taste like childhood memories all wrapped up in a patty pan. They’re the perfect pre-packaged treat to bring along to a casual party or picnic in the park.

Nature’s Kitchen: Iced Carrot CakeA round, sliced carrot cake with vegan cream cheese icing and walnuts sits on a white plate. A slice rests on a pink plate nearby.

Topped with creamy frosting and walnuts, this wholesome gem from Nature’s Kitchen is one of the best vegan cakes at Coles. It’s moist, lightly spiced, and packed with the subtle sweetness of carrot – plus, it’s a treat for the eyes, too!

The Little Bakery Co: Vegan Chocolate Macaroons (6-pack)Six round plant-based biscuits with chocolate stripes and chocolate-coated bottoms are on a white plate; one has a bite out of it.

These pillowy coconut biscuits drizzled with vegan chocolate are an absolute gem of a supermarket find. You’d never know they were 100% plant-based! They’re simple yet special, and the fact that they’re portable is a handy bonus if you’re heading out.

Slice X Chupa: Balls (both flavours)
Three plant-based purple-coated truffles, one with a bite out, sit on a pale pink plate against a bright floral backdrop in green, pink, and purple.

We love that these Chupa Chup-inspired dessert “slice balls” at Coles are accidentally vegan! There are currently two plant-based flavours to pick from: Strawberry and Cream and Choco Banana. Both are delicious – you can’t go wrong.

Nature’s Kitchen: Plant-Based Banana Bread Slices (5-pack)Two plates with vegan banana bread topped with banana slices and blueberries sit on floral place mats, each with a fork on a wooden table.

The only thing better than home-made banana bread fresh from the oven is banana bread you didn’t have to lift a finger for! Coles sells vegan-friendly banana bread in a convenient 5-pack of individually wrapped slices – perfect for grabbing on the go.

Coles Nature’s Kitchen: Granola Cookies (4-pack)Three biscuits stacked on a white plate with a cup of tea beside them, all on a marble surface—ideal with your plant-based treats from Coles and Woolworths.

I’m usually loyal to a classic choc chip, but these granola cookies from Coles have a cosy, nostalgic charm that wins me over every time. With their soft-baked texture and comforting blend of oats and fruit, they’re my favourite treat for a picnic or crafternoon.

Bakery Du Jour: Vegan Croissants (3-pack)Three plant-based croissants on a light purple plate beside a small white bowl of dark fruit jam with a spoon, on a wooden table.

The ultimate proof that plant-based food has gone mainstream? Coles and Woolworths now stock vegan croissants – they’re just as golden and flaky as you’d hope. Warm them briefly in the oven or microwave for melt-in-your-mouth perfection.

With so many options, plant-based indulgence is now a piece of vegan cake (literally!)

Whether you’re after a cheeky afternoon snack or a show-stopping dessert to share, Coles and Woolworths are both stocked with plenty of indulgent vegan treats ready to sweeten your day.

So next time you need a plant-based pick-me-up, step away from the oven mitts and duck to the shops instead – you might just discover a new favourite!
