11 vegan Easter eggs to tuck into over the four-day weekend

Vegan Easter eggs are more popular than ever in 2023 – with those of us who are dairy-free all year-round, those who tried Veganuary and have stuck to it or those who simply like to dabble in a plant-based diet. Once upon a time, vegan Easter chocolate wasn’t anything very exciting for vegans, but things have changed. Now, just because you don’t eat or drink milk, doesn’t mean you need to compromise on the taste of your milk chocolate Easter egg; chocolatiers have upped the ante when it comes to experimenting with flavours and ingredients to give maximum taste and creaminess. If anything, vegan Easter eggs are now in a league of their own.

There’s a delicious array of vegan luxury Easter eggs on the market right now – from mint chocolate eggs to chocolate orange and white chocolate geometric beauties to Hotel Chocolat’s improved vegan selection (think: vegan Ostrich eggs and extra-thick vegan milk chocolate options). And trust us when we say they’re as delicious additions to your Easter egg hunt as their non-vegan counterparts are.

Where can I buy vegan Easter eggs?

Of course, there are lots of award-winning independent plant-based sellers stocking organic vegan Easter eggs, but you can also pick up dairy-free Easter eggs at department stores and get them delivered direct to your door.

Selfridges, in particular, has an egg-scelent (sorry) offering of chocolate treats – with their own Selfridges’ Selection Easter eggs now available as vegan, and brands like Booja Booja and Cocoba stocking their eggs in the iconic food hall.

Elsewhere, Hotel Chocolat has a growing number of vegan, luxury chocolate eggs on offer, while you can pick up H!P’s oat milk Easter eggs from Anthropologie, not to mention more budget-friendly options in supermarkets like the fairtrade Moo Free range in Tesco and Amazon.
