Christmas puddings can be expensive to buy, and rather a heavy prospect at the end of a festive meal. A tray of baklava is a suitably sweet and sticky treat, and there’s no pressure to eat it straight after your main course … in fact, a plate of little baklava nibbles might last all through Christmas afternoon… This vegan dessert recipe for Mincemeat Baklava has been kindly donated to London Mums by the Vegan Society.

Strapped for cash Brits could avoid a costly Christmas this year by making easy and simple swaps, according to the UK’s leading vegan charity, The Vegan Society. On average, a traditional Christmas dinner with a Christmas pudding and custard dessert, picked up from one of the UK’s leading supermarkets, could set you back around £35.47. However, a similar feast for up to six people, made up entirely of vegan alternatives, including nut patties with cranberry-orange sauce and a mincemeat baklava (a twist on a traditional mince pie and cream), only totals £22.18. This means creating a delicious and nutritious Christmas spread, completely free from animal products, could save you an impressive £13.29 – much needed at a time when the cost of food, fuel and energy bills are all on the rise.
