Whenever I'm heading to a gathering, picnic or party, I try and stop at Trader Joe's to pick up a few of my favorite vegan desserts—and they're always crowd pleasers.
In fact, there are a few vegan desserts at Trader Joe's that are so popular and tasty, that many customers probably don't even realize they're vegan!
One of my favorite desserts at TJ's is the Organic Jumbo Cinnamon Rolls. The dough for these accidentally-vegan cinnamon rolls comes in one of those cardboard cans that twist and pop, and then they bake up easily in the oven. (Yes, your home will smell amazing when these are baking.)
For those who prefer things sour rather than sweet, Trader Joe's is known for its Super Sour Scandinavian Swimmers, which is the store's version of Swedish Fish.
But my No. 1 vegan dessert at Trader Joe's isn't just one product—it's actually a combination of three of the grocery chain's most iconic products. Keep reading for my full ranked list of the top nine vegan dessert at Trader Joe's, including my secret formula for the best TJ's-based dessert hack of all time.

7. Brownie Truffle Baking Mix
Although the Brownie Truffle Baking Mix suggests using butter and eggs, on its own, the mix is completely vegan! When I make these, instead of using cow's butter, I always opt for vegan butter (which you can find at Trader Joe's). And instead of using two eggs, I simply use a half cup of unsweetened applesauce, pumpkin puree or aquafaba—and my brownies turn out perfectly rich and chocolately every time.

6. Vegan Banana Bread with Walnuts
The Vegan Banana Bread with Walnuts is a mainstay at Trader Joe's—and at vegan dinner parties! If you like banana bread, this one from TJ's will be your new go-to.
5. Hold the Dairy! Vegan Chocolate Mini Cones
These Hold the Dairy! Vegan Chocolate Mini Cones are adorable teeny-tiny ice cream cones with chocolate coconut ice cream already scooped on top. Don't blame me if you accidentally eat six of them in one sitting.
4. Dark Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter Cups
When I went vegan, I thought I'd miss Reese's—but I quickly discovered that dark chocolate nut butter cups are so much richer and tastier than ones made with milk chocolate. And even though peanut butter is the ultimate nut butter, I've got to give it up for sunflower butter, which is what's in the center of the luscious Dark Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter Cups from Trader Joe's.
Not only are these rich and tasty, but they are also allergy-friendly, as they're free of dairy, gluten, soy and nuts. Plus, they're made with fair-trade chocolate.

3. Oat Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Sandwiches
As a kid, ice cream sandwiches were one of my favorite treats to sneak out of the freezer. Fortunately, the Oat Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Sandwiches from Trader Joe's taste exactly like the ones from my childhood—but without the dairy! There's nothing like one of these on a warm summer night.
2. Organic Jumbo Cinnamon Rolls
Keep these vegan Organic Jumbo Cinnamon Rolls in your fridge until you're ready to bake them. Then, once they're out of the oven, top them off with the included vanilla icing. So good.
1. S'mores Made With Speculoos Cookies, Pound Plus Dark Chocolate Bar and Marshmallows
My No. 1 vegan dessert from Trader Joe's is a combination of three A+ products, which work in tandem to create life-changing vegan s'mores: the Marshmallows, Pound Plus Dark Chocolate Bar and Speculoos Cookies.
Conventional marshmallows often aren't vegan because they contain gelatin, but the ones at Trader Joe's are naturally vegan, as well as wonderfully sweet and fluffy. The Pound Plus Dark Chocolate Bar is imported from Belgium and flawless in a s'more (and yes, it also comes in a smaller size).
And finally, the European Speculoos Cookies work perfectly in lieu of graham crackers. I've made s'mores over a campfire with this exact combination of ingredients multiple times this summer, and I can personally to them coming together to form 10/10 s'mores.
