UK dessert brand Gato & Co has relaunched its range of pudding pots with vegan ingredients, alongside the release of a salted caramel chocolate ganache pot.
Gato has used chickpea water in place of eggs, ground almonds to replace flour and courgette instead of butter in its two reformulated puddings: hot chocolate and coconut brownie, and hot salted caramel sticky toffee pudding. Other ingredients include almond milk, raw cacao and creamed coconut.
The new caramel chocolate ganache pot features sweet date syrup blended with oat milk and dark chocolate.
Gato & Co co-founder Kim Lamza said: “We’ve been working hard behind the scenes for the past year to make our range fully vegan, so everyone can enjoy our indulgent and healthier puds. We’ve been dying to launch vegan products since Gato first launched but it’s taken us a year to perfect the right taste and texture – we are so excited to share them in Veganuary 2019.”
Co-founder Charlotte Dauzat added: “I grew up in Provence with a love for simple, wholesome and naturally delicious food, but after years leading a frantic city life, this philosophy felt distant.
“When I figured out that cutting refined food and embracing whole, nutritious ingredients clearly improved my health and energy levels, I realised it was time to come back to my roots. I started this exciting baking adventure and began exploring a world of tasty and nutritious alternatives.
“After several months of training at Le Cordon Bleu, I created a new range of free-from, indulgent puddings that are both tasty and packed with natural goodness.”
Gato & Co desserts are available at Whole Foods, Sainsbury’s, As Nature Intended, Harrods and Ocado with a recommended retail price of £2.
