Notes

Substitutes:

  • Prosecco: If you don't have Prosecco, I recommend using any dry sparkling wine like Cava or Champagne. They provide a similar bubbly texture and flavor profile.

  • Proceed As Usual: Follow the original recipe steps with these vegan-friendly ingredients for a delicious vegan Rossini.
