Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g vegan block butter (Ensure it’s very soft for easy mixing.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Enhances the rich flavor of the dough.)
- 180 g plain (all-purpose) flour (Forms the base of the cookies.)
- 40 g cornflour (cornstarch) (Helps create a tender texture.)
- 20 g cocoa powder (The star ingredient for chocolate flavor.)
- 75 g icing (powdered) sugar (Adds sweetness and creaminess.)
- 1 tablespoon plant milk (To achieve the right dough consistency.)
- 100 g dark chocolate (Finely chopped for smooth melting.)
- 100 g vegan double cream alternative (Provides creaminess for the ganache.)
- 15 g vegan block butter (Gives silky texture to the ganache.)
- 1 teaspoon orange extract (Optional for a delightful twist.)
- 0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract (Optional for a delightful twist.)
Instructions
- Whisk together the softened vegan butter and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy for about 2-3 minutes.
- Sift in the plain flour, cornflour, cocoa powder, and icing sugar, add the plant milk, and mix until well combined.
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle and pipe swirls about 5.5 cm in diameter onto baking sheets.
- Chill the trays in the freezer for about 15 minutes while preheating your oven to 190°C or 375°F.
- Bake the chilled biscuits for 15-18 minutes until firm, then cool on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl; heat the vegan double cream and vegan butter until just simmering, then pour over the chocolate.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until melted and smooth. Optional: stir in your chosen extract.
- Allow the ganache to cool and thicken slightly before transferring to a piping bag.
- Pipe ganache onto the bottom side of half the baked biscuits, then top with another biscuit to create sandwiches.
- Optional: Dust with extra icing sugar before serving.
