Ingredients

• 240 ml Water
• 115 g Vegan butter
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 125 g All-purpose flour
• 4 Large eggs
• 170 g Dairy-free dark chocolate
• 240 ml Coconut cream
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, vegan butter, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Step 4

Return the pan to low heat and continue stirring for 1-2 minutes to dry out the dough slightly.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Spoon or pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in small mounds, about 3 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and firm. Turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and let them dry in the oven for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 9

While the puffs are cooling, make the chocolate filling: In a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut cream. Remove from heat just before it reaches boiling.

Step 10

Chop the dairy-free dark chocolate and add it to the hot coconut cream. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Step 11

Stir in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Allow the mixture to cool, then refrigerate until thickened.

Step 12

Once the puffs have cooled completely, cut them in half horizontally and fill each with the chocolate cream.

Step 13

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
