What is vegan chocolate?

Vegan chocolate is a type of chocolate that is free from animal-derived ingredients.

Cocoa, which comes from the cacao bean is the main ingredient in both regular and plant-based chocolate. But unlike traditional chocolate, which often contains milk solids or other dairy components, vegan chocolate is crafted using plant-based alternatives to achieve the same luscious taste and texture.

Can you get vegan Easter eggs?

Yes! We hope this article has gone some way in demonstrating how many vegan Easter egg options there are now.

Vegan Easter eggs are crafted using dairy-free and animal-free ingredients, making them suitable for individuals following a vegan lifestyle, as well as commonly catering to those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies (although always check the label for cross-contamination warnings).

These eggs are typically made with plant-based milk alternatives like almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or rice milk, which provide the same creamy and indulgent texture found in traditional chocolate eggs.

Which Easter eggs are gluten-free?

There are gluten-free, vegan Easter eggs available to cater to individuals who follow a vegan and gluten-free lifestyle.

These easter treats are specially crafted to be free from gluten-containing ingredients, making them safe and delicious, for everyone to enjoy.

Are Crème Eggs vegan?

Unfortunately, the classic Crème Egg contains dairy in the chocolate and the fondant filling usually contains egg whites, which makes them unsuitable for a vegan diet.

However, if you're looking for a vegan alternative to creme eggs, a number of vegan confectionery brands now offer similar treats made without animal-derived ingredients – or you could try to make your own!
