UK dessert brand Pots & Co has launched a limited-edition baked passion fruit cheesecake cream pot. Made with cheesecake filling, Madagascan vanilla and passion fruit glaze, the new dessert is made in small batches using "high-quality" ingredients and contains no artificial preservatives.

Fraser Thomson, joint CEO of Pots & Co, said: "With summer just around the corner, we wanted to create a refreshing dessert using punchy flavours that perfectly accompanies the sunshine".

He continued: “Our current limited-edition dessert of summer berries and mascarpone cream has proved popular with consumers, offering a light and refreshing treat for the warmer months. This brand-new pot extends our limited-edition fruit-based flavours – this time with an added zing of passion fruit.

“With the rising cost of eating out, we are committed to giving consumers restaurant-quality food at home or even on the go. Our new limited-edition summer pot offers a light and refreshing treat for picnics, BBQs or al fresco dining, making this an ideal solution for those looking for high-quality and great-tasting desserts to finish their meal.” The potted dessert is available at Sainsbury’s stores nationwide and will roll out in Waitrose from 26 April.
