Let’s be honest, the only beef here is with people who say vegans can’t bake or sauté with flair.
This pie is packed with savory mushrooms and plant-based beef that’s more comforting than a group chat during a breakup.
The flaky crust hugs the filling like your favorite jeans before brunch bloating kicks in.
Then comes dessert: coffee tiramisu so rich, it ghosted its sugar daddy.
Layered with espresso drama and whipped vegan cream—because yes, dairy-free can still be dangerously decadent.
Dinner and dessert just teamed up, and girl, they didn’t come to play.
