The trifle is priced at £7 but the launch date has not yet been revealed.

Morrisons’ new vegan meat range

The value supermarket, which launched V Taste – its own-brand vegan range in 2018 – is also expanding its line with six new tempting plant-based meat alternatives.

The offerings include vegan steak (£3), vegan bacon (£2.50), fishless fillets (£2), burgers (£2.50), as well as two styles of sausages – chorizo and cumberland (£2.50).

Morrisons described the new ‘Thick Cut Bacon’ rashers as the ‘perfect pairing to a butty on a Sunday’.

The protein and fiber-rich steak, made from seitan and mushrooms, gives the plant-based meat alternative a convincing meaty texture and a tasty, smoky chargrilled flavour, a supermarket spokesperson explained.

Morrisons added that the ‘flaky’ fishless fillets are made from fava beans and rice and are coated in a breading to give them their fish-like texture.

And while the Cumberland bangers filled with mushrooms, cracked black pepper and dried parsley lend a delicious and flavourful taste to the meat-free sausages, the spicy Chorizo-style bangers tempt with a smoky paprika, red chilli and garlic taste.
