Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 20 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 230 grams Dairy-free butter (such as coconut oil-based margarine)
- 120 milliliters Cold water
- 100 grams Dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Cut the dairy-free butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
Step 3
Gradually add the cold water to the mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to form. The dough should be soft but not sticky; be careful not to overwork it.
Step 4
Flatten the dough into a rectangle, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the butter to firm up.
Step 5
After chilling, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a long rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped dairy-free dark chocolate evenly over two-thirds of the dough.
Step 7
Fold the uncovered third of the dough over the chocolate, then fold the remaining third on top, like a business letter.
Step 8
Turn the dough 90 degrees and roll out again into a long rectangle, then fold into thirds once more. This process is known as lamination and creates the flaky layers.
Step 9
Wrap the folded dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 11
After chilling, roll out the dough to your desired thickness, about 1/4-inch. Cut into desired shapes using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
Step 12
Place the pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and lightly crisped.
Step 13
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free chocolate puff pastries!
