In anticipation of the brisk fall weather, Zizzi -- a high-street Italian restaurant in the UK -- launched its Autumn menu nationwide that includes a decadent and rich vegan treat. The dessert boasts three layers of flavors and textures including a chocolate chip cookie base, a layer of salted toffee, and a coconut chocolate ganache finish with splashes of chocolate and gold atop it.
In addition to this delicious dessert, Zizzi is also offering another vegan option -- the vegan jackfruit pepperoni pizza -- that was made in collaboration with plant-powered protein company 'Jack & Bry.' It boasts spicy harissa, roquito chili, vegan Mozzarella, and jackfruit pepperoni.
Conscious consumers can look forward to enjoying these cruelty-free menu options at Zizzi this fall.
