Vegan Cheese Powderbellissimo

A tub of powdered dairy free vegan cheese topping called Bellissimo from Cherub Dairy Free.

I have tried these powdered cheeses before.  They are OK,  you shake a little on top of pasta dishes and it adds a cheesy flavour.  It is OK and great for keeping in the cupboards for when you want a backup.   This one is pretty nice.

To be honest I think that vegan cheese has come a long way and now the likes of Vegusto and Veganic are producing dairy free cheeses that do a better job, they melt and taste like cheese,  this is my preferred option.

Each 60gram tub is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  per serving is 42kcal.  I got mine from Ananadas Foods on line.

Co-operative Christmas Pudding

Vegan Christmas Puddingcoop_loved_xmas_pud

A vegan Christmas pudding from the “Loved by us” range of the Co-operative supermarket.

Thankfully the Co-op do a small Christmas pudding, and they do large versions too.   This little one was £1.50 which is OK,  but I expected it to be cheaper, especially when you compare it to the Aldi and Tesco budget Christmas puddings which are under £1 for a large 454gram pudding.  This one is enough for one person or two at a push,  it is 100grams.  The co-op do label suitable for vegans on the pack which I like.

The pudding is rich and quite fruity,  the citrus flavour is quite strong.  As with all Christmas puddings this one is stodgy and sticky.  It has brandy, cider and sherry in it.  Ready in about 40 seconds in the microwave.  I enjoyed this pudding,  it had all you want in a pleasant pudding.  Ideal if you only want it for one or two people,  but from a budget point of view I would go to Aldi and buy their Everyday Essentials Christmas pudding.
