I'm putting together a guide on 'How To Serve a Vegan Afternoon Tea' and have been looking for some mini patisserie and desserts inspiration. These are 10 of my favourite recipes from around the web (including some of my own!) for miniature vegan desserts. These bite-sized treats would be perfect for parties, get-togethers, afternoon teas, gifts or simply something cute and delicious to enjoy for yourself!
1
Mini Rose & Strawberry Panna Cotta
Tiny panna cotta desserts made using agar agar flakes with rose and strawberry flavours! Delicious and pretty, perfect for serving bite-sized treats at a party.

Mini Bakewell Tarts
I made this recipe for Nakd's Bakewell Tart bars. These mini tarts are so delicious and more-ish, party guests would love them. They're gluten-free too!

3
Mini Raw Strawberry Cheesecakes
This is another recipe I made for Nakd, this time using their Strawberry Crunch bars as the cheesecake base but you could substitute for any base you prefer. They're delicious, adorable and perfect for Valentines Day or Mother's Day.

Part of my guide series on How To Serve a Vegan Afternoon Tea

I was hoping to find a recipe for the Puffed pastry that you have pictured with the fruit on it. I have a friend who has many allergies and Vegan recipes are the best way for me to make anything for her. When they're tasty it's even better because than she can eat the same thing everyone else is eating. I don't usually volunteer that something is Vegan until people eat it. Then she steps in because I will have told her earlier. If she were to eat it first, they'd know and probably not touch it.

I'm so excited that you've put together this vegan afternoon tea series. A few years ago I took my mum for afternoon tea in Bath as a birthday treat. It was her first ever afternoon tea! Sadly I couldn't eat a single thing on the 3 tier stand... they couldn't even offer me a vegan sandwich :/ So even though my mum enjoyed it, it was a bit weird me sitting there while she tucked in. For Christmas, she asked me if I'd take her for afternoon tea again. I still haven't found anywhere local to me that offers vegan afternoon tea options but it doesn't matter now - I'll just make one myself, then we can both tuck in :D

I had a vegan afternoon tea at Fortnum and Mason which was really great, the only part that let it down was the dessert which was simply a fruit salad and I had to watch my friend tuck into these amazing looking petit fours, macarons and pastries :-( Anyway, like you say, we can just make our own now!

I love "mini" everything! Especially desserts though :-)
