Vegan Ice Cream Cornets

I found a strawberry/vanilla pack and a chocolate vanilla pack, not with the ice cream  but in the special diets section of the freezer in Morrisons.  (swedish glace is with the standard ice cream. so you have to send a search party to find them )

IMG_4699

The strawberry one is OK,  the cone was a bit soggy which is a common complaint with supermarket ice cream,  I don’t think they store it too well.  The flavour is pleasant strawberry with creamy vanilla,  it was overall quite nice.

The Chocolate and vanilla flavour again was pleasant,  nice and chocolaty offset with the creamy vanilla.  The cone on this one was really crispy which was a nice surprise.  I enjoyed this one more.

Each box of 4 cones is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Gluten Free.  236kcal per cone.  Sold in Morrisons freezer section (but you have to hunt).

Ananda’s New Vegan Wagon Wheel Flavours

Mint Wagon Wheel, Orange Wagon WheelIMG_4666

I love love love the original Roundups (vegan wagon wheels) from Anandas.  They have been busy in their kitchen, recently bringing gluten free options, and a lovely heart shaped one for Valentines day.

Now we have a Mint version and and Orange version.  They look exactly the same, the only difference is that instead of a fruity jam in the original,  we have a mint fondant centre and an orange fondant centre.  The marshmallow and the chocolate sponge with drizzled vegan chocolate are the same.

Wow they taste great.  I love mint chocolate so that one is my preference,  however the orange is really great too.  Good flavours that do not overpower the wagon wheel,  but do make it taste completely different.  Well done Ananda’s  these are great products.

Personally I would like to see even more flavours,  but I am greedy for great vegan treats,  maybe coffee, salted caramel, mango could be the next ones,  and maybe even a Christmas spiced one for December.

You must try these heavenly treats,  all handmade by a little company who is making great vegan products and like all little vegan companies, they need our support.

I bought mine direct from Anandas, and delivery was quick.  The items arrived in perfect condition, the moment the box was open I had the kettle on as these are perfect with a mug of your favourite hot drink.

Shambhu’s Mint Choc Cheesecake

Vegan Cheesecakeshambhus_mint

A non dairy mint choc chip individual serving cheesecake from Shambhu’s.  The cheesecake is gluten free and handmade.

I did enjoy this cheesecake,  but after I had eaten about half, I had had enough,  it is very filling,  I think this would be better shared between two people.  The base is lovely and biscuity and the cream is light and soft and the chocolate chips on top are lovely.  There is a nice chocolate mint flavour which is well balanced.  I really enjoyed the cheesecake, my only gripe is that it is a bit expensive at £4.99 for one portion.

Each 155gram cheesecake is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.    Gluten free.  I got mine in an independent health food shop.

Food Heaven (Swedish Glace) Non Dairy Cheesecake

Apr24
2013 Written by maggie

Vegan Summer Fruits Cheesecake

A vegan non dairy, cholesterol and gluten free Summer Fruits Cheesecake from the Food Heaven range of Swedish Glace.   The cheesecake is frozen and takes approx 60minutes to defrost.

The summer berry flavour is OK,  it is sweet and fruity.  The base is very dry and not that great and it falls apart very easily, and when I ate some it really tickled my throat which  was quite unpleasant.  It is a shame because I really wanted to like this cheesecake,  but I would rather buy something made with more love.  I have recently been spoiled by some fantastic vegan desserts from Hannah Banana, Ms Cupcake and Absolute Treats, so it is hard to give something like this a good review.

Each 375gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Cholesterol free, gluten free.  Per 100grams is 319kcal.  Sold in some supermarkets and on line.

Vegan Creme Caramel

A dairy free soya dessert Creme Caramel from the Free From range of Tesco supermarket.   I found the dessert pretty good.  The creamy vanilla custard is firm set but easy to eat and the caramel is mostly liquid at the bottom of the pot, this tastes really sweet which is really nice with the custard.   These desserts are ideal for a quick pudding and are great for lunch boxes.

Each pack of 4 100gram pots are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.   Per pot is 115kcal.  Dairy, gluten and wheat free. Sold in the chiller free from section in Tesco supermarket.

Morrisons Savers Apple Crumble

Vegan Apple Crumble

A frozen apple crumble from the budget Savers Range at Morrisons Supermarket.   I love crumble because it is so easy to make and is a lovely comfort food.   I did not expect this one to taste that great, but I am pleased to report that it is fairly good.  You cook it from frozen for approx. 30 minutes,  wait until it bubbles a bit before you take it out of the oven.   You can get a good 4 portions out of it.  The apples were slightly tart which I liked  very much and there was plenty of them in the crumble.  The crumble part was OK,  it is very soft so only the bits on the topped crisped up well,  these bits were very nice. It was not too sweet,  just right.  Overall I really enjoyed it,  it goes lovely with some vegan custard or vegan ice cream.

Each 400gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell.   Per 100grams of the crumble ( a quarter)  is 287kcal.  I paid 80 pence.  Sold in the freezer section of Morrisons Supermarket.

Pudology Vegan Puds

Vegan Puds

I have recently reviewed a trilogy of vegan puddings from Pudology.  I have to say that I hope this company and their pudding inspire other vegan manufacturers to do better.  The quality of the pudding is just wonderful.  They are packed with flavour and are delicious.   Not only that they look fantastic,  the packaging is very professional and the pots of dessert is presented wonderfully.

For me this company have taken a fresh approach to vegan food and I believe that this is sorely needed for vegan products,  especially if we want to attract more people to eat a vegan diet.  I do think that these puddings will be bought by non vegans just because they look and taste so good.

Pudology Strawberry Pud

Vegan Strawberry Pudding

A dairy and gluten free strawberry pudding from Pudology.  I have recently reviewed the Banoffee Pud in this range and I have to admit I loved it,  so I was really looking forward to trying another variety.  This pudding is very very good,  the strawberry creamy topping on top of crunchy biscuit is divine.  The strawberry is very light and has a wonderful strawberry flavour and is balanced perfectly with the biscuit.  Another hit for me.  I can see these being a regular on my shopping list.

Each 85gram pot is suitable for vegans and is dairy and gluten free.  Each pot is 215kcal.  Vegan Society Approved.  Sold on line through goodnessdirect,  I understand that they are trying to get them into some large supermarkets which would be wonderful.

www.pudology.com

I will be reviewing the chocolate pudding soon.

Please note my reviews are always honest and unbiased, however I feel it only right to point out that the marketing team of Pudology did supply this product for me to review

Vegan Banoffee Pudding

An exciting Banoffee vegan pudding from Pudology.  I could jump for joy, do a little dance and praise the gods for this new range of vegan puddings,  they are everything I imagined them to be.  The banoffee pudding is a little bit of heaven.  The rich chocolate topping is perfectly offset by the sweet sticky toffee and banana sauce and the biscuity base adds a delightful crunch to this wonderful vegan dessert.  The pot of pudding is perfect for one and would be great for a fancy dinner party, or for just when you fancy something good.

I am really pleased that we have a quality product that is vegan, the packaging is beautiful and the pudding is a delight.  Why cannot all vegan food be this good.

Each 90gram pot is gloriously suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Dairy and Gluten Free.   Per pot is 292kcal.   Priced at around £2.50  They are launched nationally on the 1st September with Goodness Direct.  I understand that they are trying to get them into some large supermarkets as well.

I will be reviewing the strawberry and chocolate puddings soon.

Triano Rock n Roll Cones

2012 Written by maggie

Vegan Ice Cream Cones

Vegan Ice cream cornets with chocolate and nuts from Triano, I think these were originally made by Tufutti.  I did not really enjoy these,  I think I have been spoiled by the Swedish Glace Peak and other Ice creams lollies they make.  These rock and roll ones taste a bit watery, the chocolate coating is not pleasant, the nuts were OK and the cones were just soggy,  I was hugely disappointed. I remember them being better than this,  but it is quite a few years since I last had them.

Each pack of 4 dairy free ice cream cornets are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Cholesterol free.  Per 100ml is 170kcal.  I bought mine in an independent health food shop.

Alpro Soya Single Cream

Vegan Single Cream

A dairy free alternative to cream from Alpro.  This is a really good single cream alternative.  It is perfect just poured on desserts for example on a nice piece of cake or fresh fruit.  It is also a great ingredient for cooking.  I like it when I make garlic mushrooms,  you just stir in a little to the pan and it adds a nice creamy texture to the mushrooms.  This is the best single soya cream I have found so far, the texture is light and tastes really pleasant.

Each 251gram carton is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Dairy and Cholesterol free.  Per 30gram serving is 52kcal.  Sold in most health food shops and some supermarkets.

Sweet Puff Pastry Palmeras

From KCB Bakar Khani Sweet Puff Pastry Palmeras.   Basically these are sweet puff pastry shapes.  They taste really nice and sweet. They would probably be best with some cream and fruit.  I think that they are OK,  but Paul really likes these.  They are a good vegan dessert.

Each pack of 16 sweet puff pastries is suitable for vegetarians, vegan as far as I can tell.   They do contain Hydrogenated fat so are not that good for you.  Per 100grams is 441kcal. Sold in supermarkets.
