Organic Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Organic desserts are desserts prepared with ingredients produced without the use of pesticides, chemicals, artificial additives, or genetic modification. With the wide variety of organic foods available from the early 21st century onwards, it is theoretically possible to make an organic version of almost any type of dessert. Many types of organic desserts such as cakes, cookies, and ice cream can be purchased at bakeries, supermarkets, and restaurants. Home bakers can also make a huge range of organic desserts, although some find it better to focus on those that contain few ingredients.

Virtually every type of food, from flour to eggs to dairy products to fruit, can change from its natural state during some stage of production. The organic food movement of the late 20th and early 21st centuries is based on rejecting this modification and emphasizing foods that were naturally produced. Thus, organic desserts are simply desserts made with ingredients that have not been modified at any stage of their growth or production. In the early 21st century, a wide variety of organic ingredients can be purchased at specialty food stores and even large supermarkets. Therefore, it is possible to make different types of organic desserts.

A significant number of bakeries, restaurants, and whole food stores in North America, Europe, and elsewhere offer a wide variety of organic desserts. For example, some bakeries sell organic cakes, cupcakes and even wedding cakes. Restaurants may offer options like organic fruit tarts, ice cream or brownies. Whole food stores and even some conventional stores often sell organic ice cream, chocolate bars, cookies, etc. Some of the organic desserts provided by these retailers may also be suitable for vegans, people with gluten sensitivities, and people with other dietary concerns.
In the United States, “certified organic” products cannot include genetically modified ingredients.
Home cooks can also make an organic version of almost any dessert recipe, simply by making sure all ingredients used are organic. It should be noted, however, that organic products are usually more expensive than non-organic. Consequently, making an organic version of a multi-ingredient dessert, like chocolate chip cookies, can be a bit expensive. Therefore, budget-conscious bakers may find that the best types of organic desserts to make at home are those that use just a few ingredients, such as yogurt with fresh berries and honey.
