Mamma Cucina Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake

Recently I found a vegan cheesecake sitting in the freezer at Holland & Barratt health foods.  Not usually my cup of tea,  but I like to encourage suppliers to make new products so I thought I should try it out.

I must say it is not the best thing I have ever had, but certainly not the worst.  The biscuit base was a little soggy, the firm strawberry cheese topping tasted OK,  the texture was not too bad.  You could improve it yourself by adding a bit of fresh fruit maybe some berries.  I do like the fact you can buy something off the shelf,  as vegan desserts are a little thin on the ground.

It is made using tofu.  It is Dairy & Lactose Free, Gluten Free and No Cholesterol.

You could get 6 -8 portions out of it.  You have to defrost it, I recommend cutting it after it has been defrosting for half an hour, it makes it easier to handle when it is completely defrosted.  Because it serves so many I have cut mine up into portions whilst it was still frozen, (be careful it is tough).  Then I can just get out one or two slices at a time.

All in all I would say 6 out of 10.
