Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Vegan margarine
- 100 milliliters Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Ground hazelnuts
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 milliliters Soy milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 50 grams Vegan dark chocolate
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut the vegan margarine into small pieces and add to the flour.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the margarine into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, mixing gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining the ground hazelnuts, powdered sugar, soy milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and spreadable.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle (about 30x40 centimeters).
Cut the dough into 12 triangles by slicing the rectangle into 3 equal strips lengthwise, then cut each strip diagonally in alternating directions.
Spread a thin layer of the nut filling over each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from the wider end, roll each triangle into a croissant shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
While the Nussgipfel are baking, melt the vegan dark chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water or using a microwave.
Once the Nussgipfel are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top.
Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy your homemade vegan Nussgipfel!
