Ingredients

• 240 ml water
• 60 g vegan butter
• 120 g all-purpose flour
• 15 g cornstarch
• 5 g baking powder
• 30 g coconut sugar
• 5 ml vanilla extract
• 200 ml full-fat coconut milk
• 5 g agar-agar powder
• 60 g powdered sugar
• 150 g vegan chocolate chips
• 60 ml unsweetened almond milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, vegan butter, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, allowing the butter to melt.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add in the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Stir continuously until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes. Then add the baking powder and mix well.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small mounds about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Step 7

For the filling, whisk together coconut milk, agar-agar powder, and powdered sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking frequently until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and let the cream cool slightly before transferring it to a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle.

Step 9

Once the puffs have cooled, use the piping bag to fill each puff with the coconut cream.

Step 10

For the chocolate ganache, place the vegan chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat the almond milk to a simmer and pour it over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Step 11

Dip each filled cream puff into the chocolate ganache to coat the top, allowing the excess to drip off.

Step 12

Place the chocolate-covered cream puffs in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Step 13

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