Does anyone know a recipe for homemade vegan chocolate?
Answers:
Hi, here is some amazing goodness I found on a chocolate-lovers' website. I know it starts out with purchased chocolate, but it makes truffles you can not buy in stores.
You will need
:)
100 - 200g dark chocolate
1 pkg silken tofu ( blended to a cream)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cup almonds/ hazelnuts ( whole or pieces)
Put the maple syrup in a pan and bring to a boil. When boiling add the nuts and stir constantly until it is almost dry ( ie the nuts are all sticking together and the syrup is not runny) empty out onto some greaseproof paper and allow to cool.
Meanwhile melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. DON'T allow the bowl to touch the water. It should be just above it.
Blend the praline (nut mixture) into either a fine powder or a coarse mixture and stir into the chocolate. Fold in the tofu. When it is all mixed take off the heat allow to cool. The cover and place in the fridge until well chilled.
Work quickly and form into small balls. Roll in cocoa powder or grated chocolate or dip in melted chocolate and allow to set

Guess what! The Wal-Mart brand chocolate chips are vegan, and they taste good. I think they are "Sams Choice" and they are in a yellow bag.
Vegan Truffles
12 oz Sam's choice or other Vegan chocolate chips
2 T coconut oil
2 T cocoa
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave. Remove and add cocoa. If mixture is not thick enough, add more cocoa, just a bit at a time until the consistency of cookie dough. make into tiny balls about the size of a walnut. Roll in more cocoa and refrigerate until firm. Delish! Keeps in the fridge for up to a month.
Good luck
Happy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
2 cups unbleached flour
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp.salt
cinnamon to taste (optional)
vegan chocolate or carob chips - put in as many as you like
1 cup raw sugar (turbinado #1, sucanat works too but sucks up a lot of the moisture)
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup water
Directions:
VERY IMPORTANT-make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. It will work if they're not at room temp but it works MUCH better if they are. Also while your oven is pre-heating put the cookie sheets you are going to use on top of the oven so they get preheated as well. Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon (if you choose). Add chips. Make a well in the center and set aside.
In a medium size bowl mix vegan sugar and oil. Mix it well. Add the vanilla and then add the water. Mix it well. Add the wet to the well in the dry. Mix it well but be careful not to overwork it. Add more chips if you need to. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Put them in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes and then flip and rotate the sheets.(top to bottom,and 180 degree rotation) Bake another 4 minutes and check them.
The cookies are done when they seem a little bit softer then you want them to be. They will harden up some as they cool. I usually go in two minute increments from here untill they get to where I like them.
Take them out when they are done and move them to wire cooling racks. If they split or come apart when you try to remove them let them sit on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to the racks.
These cookies have come a long way, lots of time and tasting spent on getting them to where they are now. Vegans and non vegans LOVE them. In the words of my 6 year old son-Mom, you're the greatest because you know how to make the best cookies. Enjoy and let me know if you have questions. Sweet travels.
