Essential Vegan Desserts

Essential Vegan Desserts is an online culinary course co-created by Chef Fran Costigan and the Rouxbe team. This unique 90-day course focuses on essential foundational techniques plus recipes. You will learn to create excellent vegan desserts with confidence. The course starts with an explanation of key equipment, ingredient selection and function, and the important techniques that are key to creating desserts without the use of eggs and dairy. As you progress, learning activities and practice recipes will showcase your ability to prepare and finish an array of vegan desserts ranging from pies, cakes, tarts and cookies to aquafaba, mousses, gels, trifles, chocolate, sauces and much more.

Here is what some graduates have said about Essential Vegan Desserts, the course I developed and lead. If you want to master savory food, keep reading below for information on the Plant-Based Professional Course.

From Sunshine and Kale:

I can’t believe it’s been two months since I graduated from the Rouxbe’s Essential Vegan Dessert Course. I just want to send a BIG thank you to all my culinary mentors at Rouxbe for this wonderful experience!” During this course, I learned to make delectable vanilla coconut cakes, addicting drop biscuits, luxurious chocolate cakes, graham crackers, rustic fruit desserts and a plethora of “Unapologetically Luscious and Decadent Dairy-Free Desserts” to quote our fantastic teacher, Fran Costigan aka Queen of the Vegan Desserts.

Check out this course review from Rooted Life:

Before beginning this course, I was already pretty good when it came to making desserts, but now I feel much more confident. For example, I can now make a proper vegan pie crust and bake a pie or galette perfectly. And I did.

LiveKindly listed Essential Vegan Desserts as the #1 Vegan Online Cooking Class:

A few words about both courses from Pure and Simple Vegan

I just finished my dream course, The Essential Vegan Dessert course through Rouxbe’s Online Cooking School. Of course, it was all I hoped it would be and more! After checking out the Rouxbe Online Cooking School, I saw they not only had a dessert course, but they had a few other courses as well. The next Essential Vegan Dessert course didn’t start for a few months, so I decided to take the Plant-Based Professional Certification course first At the end of the course, you’ll put everything you’ve learned into action and create a Spectacular Dessert Showcase. Here you will definitely want to invite guests to come enjoy all your hard work. This is also a great time to blow their minds with some amazing vegan treats!!

From Nourished by Plants Christine Akiyoshi:

I was so excited to learn that Rouxbe had partnered with Fran Costigan to create the Essential Vegan Desserts Course (EVD), an online course that is based on Fran’s Vegan Baking Boot Camp. Last year, I graduated from Rouxbe’s Plant-Based Professional Course (PBP) and it has changed my life. I was an “okay” cook before the taking the course and by the end of it, I learned how to properly use a knife, how to properly sauté vegetables, how to make homemade pasta and a variety of cooking methods. My family greatly benefited from me taking the course—suddenly, I was able to proficiently prepare nutritious and delicious meals.

FAQs

What is Rouxbe? Rouxbe is an online culinary school that teaches culinary students, culinary professionals and home cooks of all levels to increase their skills and confidence in the kitchen. Rouxbe captures a professional culinary curriculum in high-definition video and delivers it via self-paced online classes, making professional culinary instruction more accessible and affordable to both individuals and organizations.

How and when do I attend class? Your course is available on-demand 24/7 from any internet enabled device. The program is self-paced, meaning there are no specific dates to submit assignments or attend class. The only limitation is that you must complete the EVD course within 90 days and the PBP Course within 6 months. Instructor support — and that is me, personally, for EVD, and technical support is always available!

Do I have access to the course content after the course is over?

Yes! They have lifetime access to their course content. After they graduate or your days expire (whichever comes first), the only areas locked will be the quizzes, instructor-graded assignments, and the Question & Support function. Other than that, they will still have all the lessons, recipes etc. to review at their leisure.

What is your cancellation policy?

Once you have paid the tuition for this course, 25% of it becomes immediately non-refundable. As for refunding your tuition, we understand that there are sometimes unfortunate circumstances that are beyond your control that may require you to withdraw from the course (e.g. medical condition). We of course want to be supportive during these situations so will work with you on a one-on-one basis to help. However, after 7-days of the course start, there are no refunds.

What materials and equipment will I need?

A list of recommended equipment is sent as soon as registration is complete. Not everything on the list is needed, so look at the recipes, check your batterie de cuisine, and ask for recommendations in the Essential Vegan Desserts Facebook group too. The same is true of the ingredient list- you’ll get one, check the assigned recipes, practice recipes and then reset your pantry.
