11 Vegan and Gluten-Free Valentine’s Day Desserts So Everyone Gets Some Sweets

vegan gluten-free Valentine dessert recipes

Whatever your relationship status or feelings about the holiday itself, Valentine’s Day is a great time to indulge in dessert, from classic chocolate mousse and crème brûlée to molten chocolate cake and truffles. But all of those are loaded with dairy, eggs, and often flour—so what’s a vegan and/or gluten-free dessert lover to do? Not miss out, that’s for sure. These vegan, gluten-free versions of all your favorites are just as satisfying, even if it’s not the allergy-friendly status that allures. They’re straight-up delicious, so dig in! And the fact that they’re (relatively) healthy? Even more reason to love them.

What Is the Difference Between Pots de Crème and Pudding?

pudding vs pots de creme what is the difference

Valentine’s Day is coming up and surprising your partner with a decadent, sweet treat is worth all the trouble of making it yourself. However, you may be pressed for time or ingredients. This is where a simple dessert will serve you well—like a pudding or pots de crème.

While they’re both elegant, delicious, and have the ability to be tailored to specific tastes, pots de crème and pudding are actually very different in the dessert world.

Although both are a type of custard, pudding is a poured custard while pots de crème are baked custards. There are a few other telltale things that set the two apart.

But they’re both perfect for serving up in individual ramekins.

What Are Pots de Crème?

Made with eggs and/or egg yolks, cream, milk, and a flavoring agent—often vanilla or chocolate, but also anything from maple to mint—a pot de crème (literally, “pot of cream”) is a loose-style custard with its roots in France. Eggs are the thickening agent here, unlike pudding which is thickened with a starch. The mixture is baked in ramekins that are placed in a water bath; the result is a soft and smooth custard.

What Is Pudding?

While some may remember instant pudding made out of a package with the addition of milk or water, homemade pudding is a bit more labor intensive as far as making it goes. Traditional dessert pudding is made with sweetened milk or cream that is thickened with a gelatinized starch (often cornstarch). Later, a flavor is added, which can be traditional chocolate or vanilla or something a little more creative, like pistachio or even pumpkin spice. After the mixture is made, it’s chilled for three hours or longer to set.

While eggs can sometimes be used in a pudding recipe in addition to the starchy thickener, a second thickening agent is traditionally not used in eggy pots de crème.

Because of the different methods of thickening and cooking (or not cooking), these two desserts have different textures. Pudding is semisolid and slightly dense, while pots de crème are lighter, silkier, and similar to a mousse. (Speaking of, discover the difference between mousse and pudding.)

Want to try to tackle one of these desserts? Check out some of the recipes below and don’t forget to pair them with a complementary glass of wine for an ultra-romantic experience.

What Is the Difference Between Crème Brûlée and Flan?

Silky smooth, sweet, rich custards are a sensual way to end a nice meal without being too heavy. Dessert custards all share something in common: a glossy, silken texture and lavish flavor. The difference between crème brûlée and flan (two of our favorite kinds of custard) lies in four factors: the ratio of ingredients, the manner in which the custard is thickened, the method of cooking, and any additional components. Those extra components—different toppings and presentation—are easiest to see.

Bellemain Porcelain Ramekins, 6 for $12.95 on Amazon

Both desserts are commonly served in dainty ramekins for individual portions.
Think Small

The Balance of Eggs, Sugar, and Dairy

In custards, the proportion of eggs to sugar to dairy is critical, since texture and flavor hang in delicate balance. Eggs lend sturdiness, and the most opulent custard desserts contain only egg yolks. Sugar also affects texture: The more sugar in a custard, the less firm it will tend to be, and the longer it will take to set. And the amount of fat in your dairy, whether cream or milk, will affect the dessert’s level of richness.

Which Thickening Agent?

Custard is set in one of three different ways: with eggs, starch, or gelatin. Crème brûlée, pots de crème, and flan are thickened with egg; in contrast, pastry cream and American-style cheesecake often employ cornstarch or flour. Gelatin is used to add a gel-like consistency to Bavarian cream and most mousse recipes.

how to make custard desserts

Chowhound

Cooking and Serving Method

All custards are set using low, gentle heat. However, they fall into one of two categories: stirred (cooked on the stovetop) or baked (set in a water bath in the oven). Crème anglaise, pastry cream, mousse, and pudding are stirred; flan, crème brûlée, and pots de crème are baked. Custards can also be served at a wide range of temperatures: Serve crème anglaise warm, and it’s a sauce; freeze it and it becomes ice cream (and vice versa).

Additional Components

More elaborate custard desserts involve additional components, such as toppings or coatings. Crème brûlée contains a layer of hard caramel on top, achieved by melting sugar with a blowtorch; crème caramel is coated in a layer of soft caramel before being turned out.

Harold Import Co. White Porcelain Souffle Dish, $18.99 on Amazon

Flan is often made in a souffle dish, which is basically just one big ramekin!
Go Big

When it comes to crème brûlée and flan, it’s mostly the toppings that distinguishes the two, as well as the presentation. The former has that signature crackly sugar crust on top, and the latter has the gooey, soft caramel top. Crème brûlée is served within mini soufflé dishes, and flan is served out of the dish, standing alone. And it’s also the culture each dessert hails from: French and Latin American cuisines.

Try your hand at one or the other, or both, and don’t forget your spoon!

Crème Brûlée

Chowhound

The classic baked custard made with sugar and thickened with egg yolks and cream is famously topped with sugar that’s torched or broiled to form a hard caramel crust. This basic crème brûlée just uses light and heavy creams, sugar, vanilla, and yolks. Get our Crème Brûlée recipe.

Chowhound

Buy some eggnog (or make it yourself if you can’t find any) and add some nutmeg and you’ve got a winter holiday-style sweet custard with the glorious crackly crust. Get our Eggnog Crème Brûlée recipe.

Microwave Crème Brûlée

It won’t look as pretty, but with a microwave and a toaster oven, you can make this delicate dessert (which is certainly fancier than a mug cake). No need for a blow torch if you don’t have or want one. You can broil the sugar on top of the custard to get that hardened sugary layer that defines this dessert. Get our Microwave Crème Brûlée recipe.

Pumpkin Pie Flan

Chowhound

Pumpkin purée, graham crackers, cinnamon, sour cream, and all-spice flavor this flan. It’s the best of both worlds. Get our Pumpkin Pie Flan recipe.
