Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 0.75 cup Coconut milk
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Dairy-free dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Almond milk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the active dry yeast with warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add coconut milk, olive oil, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and blend thoroughly.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring to form a soft dough.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

In the meantime, make the chocolate filling by melting the dairy-free dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth, then mix in the cocoa powder. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle of about 12x20 inches on a floured surface.

Step 9

Spread the chocolate filling over the surface of the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border.

Step 10

Starting from the short end, tightly roll the dough into a log.

Step 11

Cut the log in half lengthwise, leaving one end intact for about an inch.

Step 12

Twist the two halves around each other, then tuck the ends under to form a loaf shape.

Step 13

Transfer the twisted dough to a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 14

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 15

Bake the babka for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 16

Let the babka cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 17

To make the powdered sugar glaze, mix the almond milk with the powdered sugar until smooth.

Step 18

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled babka before slicing and serving.
