Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 20 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 230 grams Dairy-free butter (such as coconut oil-based margarine)
- 120 milliliters Cold water
- 100 grams Dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Cut the dairy-free butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
Gradually add the cold water to the mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to form. The dough should be soft but not sticky; be careful not to overwork it.
Flatten the dough into a rectangle, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the butter to firm up.
After chilling, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a long rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle the chopped dairy-free dark chocolate evenly over two-thirds of the dough.
Fold the uncovered third of the dough over the chocolate, then fold the remaining third on top, like a business letter.
Turn the dough 90 degrees and roll out again into a long rectangle, then fold into thirds once more. This process is known as lamination and creates the flaky layers.
Wrap the folded dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After chilling, roll out the dough to your desired thickness, about 1/4-inch. Cut into desired shapes using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
Place the pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and lightly crisped.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free chocolate puff pastries!
