Notes

Swiss Jam Roll: It's impossible to find a vegan Swiss roll in store, so here is the easiest recipe for a Vegan Swiss Jam Roll made from scratch.

Jelly: To date, I've been unable to find vegan jelly crystals. However, the prepackaged "ready-to-eat" jelly is accidentally vegan. 

These include:

- Aeroplane Jelly (Blackcurrant, Orange, Pineapple, Strawberry & Raspberry flavour)

- Coles Branded Jelly Cups (Raspberry, Orange & Strawberry flavour) and Fruit in Jelly (Mandarin in Orange Jelly, Peach in Mango Jelly, Pear in Blackcurrant Jelly & Two fruits in Strawberry Jelly)

- Woolworths Brand Jelly Cups (Tropical & Mango flavour) and Fruit and Jelly Cups (Apple in Pineapple Jelly, Mango in Mango Jelly, Peach in Mango Jelly & Two fruit in tropical Jelly)

- Also, Pandaroo Mini Jelly Cups from the International Section.

Custard: Most make-at-home custard mixes are vegan. I use "Foster Clark's Original Recipe Vanilla Flavoured Liquid Custard".

Cream: Plant-based creams are becoming more popular. I used "Flora Thickened Cream". If you cannot find a vegan cream, you can always make your own with coconut cream, as per this Vegan Mousse recipe.

Fruit: I prefer two-fruits tinned fruit or peaches, but you can also use a combination of fresh and tin fruit.
