Winner

The Coconut Collaborative
Little Choc Pots Chocolate Ganache

‘Wow! This looks beautiful and shiny and smells lovely – tastes like something normal people would eat!! Very grown up – luscious. Lovely rich chocolate, smooth and cool and only faintly coconutty – fab!'

Highly Commended

CocoNuts Raw Chocolate Nice Cream

'Lovely clean flavour. Great colour and texture – quite coconutty but delicious.'

Hale & Hearty Traditional Christmas Pudding

‘How great to have a dairy, gluten and nut-free Christmas pudding – one filled with fruit, yet light and delicious!'

Tesco Free From Cream Filled Profiteroles

‘Excellent imitation of a wheat profiterole – looks fantastic. Chocolate sauce slightly disappointing but creamy filling not too sweet. Great treat product.'

Tesco Free From Strawberry & Vanilla Cones

'Amazing! A gluten and dairy-free Cornetto!! Very impressive. Cone slightly soggy – maybe a thicker chocolate lining? – and perfectly pleasant strawberry soya ice. What a treat for those who thought they would never eat an ice cream cone again!!'

Commended

CocoNuts Sumptuous Strawberry Nice Cream

‘Lovely real strawberry flavour. Lovely clean ingredients, dairy and gluten free, and coconut cream not too overpowering.'

Go Get Morello Cherry Streusel

'Looks lovely in individual portions – interesting new gluten and lactose-free dessert. Good ingredients and nice texture.'
