30 Easy AIP Desserts (Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Egg-Free)

Nourish your body and enjoy great food with these easy and delicious AIP desserts!

Because suffering from an autoimmune disorder is hard enough. The least you deserve is something sweet every once in a while!

AIP (Auto Immune Protocol) is much like paleo, which aims to support gut health by reducing inflammation-causing foods.

Only it’s much stricter.

So, everything from dairy and eggs to grains and processed sugars is a no-go.

But don’t fret yet! I’ve found 30 sensational AIP desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth without upsetting your gut.

From cookies and brownies to ice cream, this roundup has all your cravings covered.

30 Incredible AIP Dessert Recipes Everyone Will Love

1. Strawberry Mousse (Vegan, AIP, Whole30)

Let’s kick things off with a strawberry mousse so light and creamy, you won’t believe it’s dairy-free!

Instead of the usual mousse ingredients (cream, eggs, and chocolate), you’ll use bananas, avocado, and maple syrup.

This little switcheroo doesn’t only make this mousse nutritious and AIP-approved but so delectable, too.

As a bonus, since there are no eggs or gelatin to set it, you can enjoy this dessert right away.

2. AIP Chocolate Cake or Cupcakes (Paleo)

Sadly, chocolate is prohibited in the AIP diet. But there is a sneaky little workaround: carob.

Thanks to this AIP-friendly alternative, you can enjoy a decadent slice of chocolate cake – with frosting and all!

While the ingredients in this cake may sound foreign to non-AIP dieters (I’m looking at you, tiger nut flour), the only thing you need to know is that they’re easy to work with.

3. AIP & Paleo Sugar Cookies

These AIP sugar cookies are just as light and airy as traditional ones. So much so, it’s hard to believe they’re this wholesome!

Maple syrup is used instead of sugar for sweetness, giving them a nice chewy texture.

The cookies themselves are pretty addictive. But with the cinnamon glaze, too, they’re ten times more epic!

4. Cassava Flour Sugar Cookies {AIP + Paleo + Vegan}

It’s a struggle to have a good time during the holidays with a strict diet to consider.

Thankfully, these sugar cookies are here to spread the Christmas cheer.

Made with cassava flour instead of traditional all-purpose, these cookies still manage to be light, airy, and simply delicious.

Just like any sugar cookies, you’re free to shape these however you please. So get creative!

5. AIP and Paleo Lemon Olive Oil Cupcakes

The combination of lemon and olive oil gives these cupcakes a unique flavor you’ll crave again and again.

While they’re not as popular as their chocolate and red velvet counterparts, these cupcakes are just as mouthwatering.

Instead of being sinful and decadent, expect something super light and refreshing.

It’s the perfect sweet ending to a hearty meal.

6. Paleo AIP Strawberry Coconut Lime Cream Pie (GF, Keto)

Featuring the fresh flavors of strawberries, coconut, and lime, this pie is a thing of beauty!

Just imagine all that goodness in one bite. 

It looks as good as it tastes, too. So, you can confidently bring this to a potluck, and no one will notice it’s paleo, gluten-free, keto, and AIP-approved.

7. AIP Lace Cookies

Can’t decide between chocolate and caramel? Lace cookies, it is!

I love how this recipe manages to produce an AIP version that’s just as sweet, chewy, and chocolatey as the real thing.

This is a big achievement, considering you can’t have processed sugar and chocolate on the AIP diet.

8. AIP/Paleo Thumbprint Cookies

Thumbprint cookies are the type of dessert you can’t have just one of. They’re perfectly soft and chewy with just the right amount of sweetness.

And these AIP cookies are no exception. They’re light and buttery with beautifully sweet and tart flavors.

Decorate them with different berry fillings to create a colorful platter of yum!

9. Paleo Coffee Cake (AIP, Vegan)

I know you’re not allowed coffee on the AIP diet. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy coffee cake, right?

Moist, nutty, and cinnamon-kissed, this sponge is crumbly with a lovely crunchy streusel on top.

Together, they create a heavenly bite.

The secret is to use a combination of tiger nut and cassava flours, as well as coconut sugar.

10. AIP Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake (egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free)

Here’s another coffee cake that’ll impress everyone at your next book club or brunch. 

First of all, look at that beauty! Those blots of blueberry and swirls of glaze sure make this cake extra pretty.

And if you’re not a fan of cloying desserts, this one’s definitely for you.

The acidity in the blueberries and tart lemon counterbalances the cake’s sweetness nicely.

11. Mixed Berry Fruit Crisp (AIP, Paleo, Vegan)

This recipe unites various berries to give you the most glorious dessert! 

It’s sweet, tart, and juicy at the bottom and wonderfully crisp and golden on top.

All that’s missing is a dollop of coconut whipped cream or yogurt. The contrast between hot and cold gives the dessert an extra pleasant mouthfeel.

12. Paleo Vanilla Ice Cream

Yes, you’re even allowed ice cream on this diet!

Admittedly, this is just a plain and simple vanilla ice cream – no frills and thrills, no bells and whistles.

But as simple as it is, this smooth and creamy ice cream definitely delivers. 

13. Mixed Berry Galettes

These bite-sized galettes are just as flavorful as they are colorful!

Cassava flour ensures the crusts are grain-free yet still flaky and delicious. In fact, these crusts taste just like regular pastry.

You won’t notice the difference!

To thicken and sweeten the berry filling, you’ll need to cook it with tapioca starch and coconut sugar. Easy-peasy.

14. Coconut Passion Fruit Panna Cotta (AIP, Paleo & Low FODMAP Friendly)

Panna cotta sounds like a fancy dessert, but it’s just a milk pudding set with gelatin.

Meaning “cooked cream” in Italian, panna cotta is simple but delightful.

Sweetened with maple syrup and topped with passion fruit and coconut flakes, this silky smooth dish bursts with refreshing and tropical flavors.

And hey, it’s just milk and fruit. So I think you could even have this for breakfast!

15. Paleo Banana Cream Pie Parfaits (Dairy-Free, AIP, Egg-Free)

This dessert looks like a parfait but tastes like a banana cream pie. This little camouflage is part of what makes it so interesting – and scrummy!

16. No Churn Mango Turmeric Ice Cream

If you’re into exotic ice cream flavors, then this recipe is a must-try. Don’t even think about it – do it now, if you can!

A combination of ripe mangoes and turmeric, it’s tropically sweet and will fill your entire body with a warm and soothing sensation.

The use of both ingredients also makes this ice cream unapologetically yellow. So it’s just what you need to make your day a little sunnier.

17. Lemon Coconut Fudge Bites

A blend of honey, lemon, coconut oil, and coconut butter, these stunning treats are nothing like ordinary fudge.

If you’ve ever tried the keto diet, you’ll know all about fat bombs.

They’re little bites of sweet or savory fats designed to keep you going and satisfy cravings.

And these are the AIP version made into adorable shapes with silicone molds.

They have a firm, buttery texture which can be unpleasant to some. But they’re also sweet and tangy and ideal for anyone missing treats.

18. Raspberry Blackberry Coconut Parfait

These parfaits have fun layers of whipped coconut cream, raspberries, blackberries, and coconut flakes.

While the berries and coconut flakes contribute greatly to this dessert’s success, the whipped coconut cream steals the show.

It’s wonderfully light and billowy, with a subtle sweetness from vanilla and honey.

19. Key Lime Pie Coconut Date Ball

These date balls are sweet, chewy, and simply irresistible. It’s crazy they only require four ingredients!

Great for eating on the go, you can take these with you and snack on them whenever you need.

The fact that they’re paleo and AIP-friendly is just a plus.

20. No Bake Coconut Date Balls (Paleo, Vegan & AIP)

Here’s another date ball recipe I know you’ll love. If a quick and easy recipe is what you need, this one perfectly fits the bill.

They’re a simple mix of dates and shredded coconut, creating a sweet and chewy bite.

21. AIP Salted Caramel Apple Parfaits

If you’re missing the flavors of America’s favorite country fair snack, these parfaits have your name on them.

With layers of crunchy cinnamon-spiced apples, salted caramel sauce, and a fabulous coconut crumble, they’re just like caramel apples but served in a glass.

22. Healthy Caramelized Apples

If you want something without the fuss, these caramelized apples are just the thing.

For this dessert, you’ll cook apples in maple syrup and cinnamon to give them that signature caramel coating.

The cinnamon doesn’t just add warmth, but a wonderfully sweet aroma, to boot.

Serve them over waffles and pancakes or as a side dish to grilled pork chops. Yum!

23. Cinnamon Ginger Molasses No-Churn Paleo Ice Cream

This ice cream is infused with autumn spices and sticky molasses.

It’s a cozy and refreshing dessert that’s ideal if you’re craving festive fall flavors.

As a plus, this ice cream doesn’t call for churning at all. Instead, just pop the ingredients in a blender, pulse, and freeze!

How easy is that?

Serve a scoop of this with some of the apples from above, and you’ll have one helluva tasty dessert!

24. Spiced Apple Cupcake

These spiced apple cupcakes are light, fluffy, and brimming with apple-y goodness.

The cupcakes themselves are perfect on their own. But that spiced vanilla frosting takes them to the next level.

25. Pumpkin Pudding (vegan, paleo, AIP)

This pumpkin pudding is silky, sweet, and full of sugar and spice and everything nice.

If you’re in the mood for pumpkin pie, this is the dessert for you.

A blended mix of pumpkin puree, coconut milk, cinnamon, clove, and maple syrup, this dessert couldn’t be easier to make.

The hardest part is waiting for it to chill.

And no, there’s no sugar in the mix!

26. Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Traditional chocolate mousse is achieved by beating cream and chocolate together until fluffy and smooth. 

Yet somehow, this one calls for avocados, coconut milk, and carob and tastes just like the real thing.

Thanks to the creamy avocados, this mousse manages to be smooth and silky. Of course, that hit of healthy fats doesn’t hurt, either!

27. AIP Mango Sticky ‘Rice’

If you’re a fan of Thai food, you’ll know how superb their sticky mango rice is.

Traditionally made with rice, coconut cream, and mangoes, it’s not exactly AIP-friendly. 

However, with a simple plantain alternative, you can successfully recreate the sticky treat without the heavy grains.

28. Fudgy Vegan Brownies (Gluten-Free, AIP, Paleo)

Any diet that allows you to eat brownies is Kim-approved.

And these vegan brownies don’t just fit all the requirements of an AIP diet – they’re also ridiculously scrumptious!

They’re fudgy, chocolatey, and everything you want brownies to be. And even though the main ingredient is sweet potato, you’d never know.

29. Pumpkin Pie Donut Holes

These donut holes are soft, fluffy, and taste just like pumpkin pie! They’re the ultimate AIP-approved fall dessert.

Flavored with pumpkin puree and cinnamon, they deliver phenomenal warmth and spice.

Their only flaw is how dangerously addictive they are.

30. AIP Paleo Apple Cider Doughnuts

If you’ve never tried apple cider donuts before, give this recipe a shot!

Dense and exploding with the sweet-tart flavor of apples, they’re ideal for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

They’re covered with coconut sugar, too, giving you an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.
