A festive favorite has returned for UK vegans in time for Christmas this year — Waitrose’s Vegan Tiramisu, sold under the supermarket’s PlantLiving brand, is back in its festive XL size.
The traditional Italian dessert recipe is decidedly non-vegan, calling for whipped egg yolks. The PlantLiving Tiramisu, however, is completely free from animal products. Waitrose describes it as a “vegan take on the classic Italian dessert tiramisu, with a biscuit sponge soaked in coffee and a plant-based topping enriched with Marsala wine…(with a) rice-based mousse and dusted with cocoa powder.”

XL-sized dessert for the festive period
The much smaller, single serve PlantLiving Tiramisu is available year-round, however the large festive edition serves six and weighs in at 500 grams, priced at £6.
The news was greeted with excitement on the Vegan Food UK Instagram page. One user described it as “delicious,” while another commented: “Not even ashamed to admit I ate half in one sitting!”
A third added: “If I buy this, it will not make it to any other person.”
