Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (vegan)
- 100 grams Coconut oil
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 20 grams Cocoa powder
- 150 milliliters Almond milk
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease four small ramekins with a little coconut oil.
Break the vegan dark chocolate into smaller pieces and melt it together with the coconut oil over a double boiler, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk the almond milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Gradually pour the almond milk mixture into the bowl of melted chocolate, whisking continuously to combine, then slowly add the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth, homogenous batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins onto a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft to touch.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow them to cool for 1 minute, before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes.
Invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate to release the petit gateau, serving immediately to enjoy the luscious molten center.
Optionally, serve alongside fresh berries or a scoop of non-dairy ice cream for an extra treat.
