Food Heaven is a brand I have been fond of for quite a while now as Mark has on numerous occasions bought a dairy and gluten free cheesecake from them in Tesco! It was a very last minute discovery that Food Heaven were even at The Allergy and Free From Show but I am so glad that we did find them!
Gluten and Dairy Free Lemon Cheesecake
In the past we have only ever had the opportunity to try their Lemon dairy (and gluten) free cheesecake. Though not completely similar to a regular cheesecake it is a very close and excellent alternative for those who miss one of the worlds all time favourite desserts! The flavour of soya I have always found to be fairly clear in the cheesecake, however, in a non overpowering way. It really seems to work well. I have yet to find their other cheesecake flavours in the shops but would love to try the summer fruits flavour based on my past experience with the lemon!
When we arrived at the Food Heaven stand late on Sunday afternoon it was pretty packed, so much so that they had run out of sample dishes or spoons! They had plenty of samples left however which meant that everyone had resorted to having a big spoonful delivered straight into the palm of their hand… I was of course totally up for this, a free sample is a free sample right? Who needs a plate to eat off?!
The two samples they had at the time when we arrived were brand new products which I wasn’t even aware that they sold. These were the tiramisu and the chocolate mousse. I firstly had a handful of tiramisu and it was like I had gone to heaven! Amazing flavours and textures, I literally forgot what it was like to have tiramisu, which, as a youngster was one of my favourite desserts even if I have always have disliked coffee! I can’t wait to find this in the shops, it will be a regular product in my trolley.
Equally the chocolate mousse was delicious, really rich in flavour and incredibly indulgent. You would definitely not realise that this was dairy free if you
Gluten and Dairy Free Tiramisu
were never told! I would definitely recommend both of these desserts if you are having guests round for tea and fancy buying dessert instead of rustling up your own creation.
Overall Food Heaven I believe are going from strength to strength with their new products. Not only do they have the new desserts I just mentioned but they have a variety of new non-dairy ‘Iced Desserts’ (ice cream basically!). The flavours range from blueberry and raspberry ripple to standard vanilla. I didn’t get the chance to try them this time, but the next opportunity I get I will definitely jump at the chance, and you should too! Click here to jump over to their site for more details!
