Vegan chocolate cream is a type of chocolate cream that is made without animal ingredients such as milk, cream or butter. Instead, a milk substitute, such as soya or almond milk, and vegan chocolate are usually used.
There are many variations of vegan chocolate cream. The basic recipe usually involves heating the plant milk and mixing it with the vegan chocolate until the two ingredients are completely combined. The mixture is then cooled to give it a thick and creamy consistency and can be served as such as a pudding or used as a filling for cakes and pastries.
In some recipes, additional ingredients such as cornstarch or agar agar may also be used to help thicken the mixture and give it a firmer texture. In other variations, flavourings such as vanilla extract, espresso powder or liqueurs may be added to enhance the chocolate flavour.
Vegan chocolate cream can be used in a variety of ways. It can be served as a dessert or used to decorate cakes or other desserts.
Vegan chocolate cream as a dessert? Why not? Simply serve the chocolate cream in small glasses or cups and top with fresh fruit or whipped coconut cream.
The vegan chocolate cream can be spread on the sponge layers of a chocolate cake or used as a filling for the famous eclairs or cream slices.
The chocolate cream can be drizzled over pancakes or waffles, and fresh fruit or maple syrup can be added.
Last but not least, chocolate cream can be served alongside a plate of fresh fruit such as strawberries, bananas and raspberries to create a tasty and healthy snack.
