These are the laziest attempt at "veganizing" recipes I have ever seen. There are recipes where it calls for vegan cream cheese, then literally the next line is 2 eggs. I also saw "vegan heavy cream" - putting vegan in front of an ingredient doesn't somehow make that ingredient exist. There are substitutes for heavy cream but you usually have to create them or specify what they are. The pumpkin bread pudding recipe doesn't even bother writing in vegan - it just straight up calls for milk and eggs.
