Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Vegan butter
• 125 ml Cold water
• 150 grams Dark chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Almond milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Cut the vegan butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water to the flour-butter mixture, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently with a fork until the dough just comes together.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to form a smooth but slightly sticky dough.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow it to chill.

Step 6

While the dough is chilling, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Stir in the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate. Mix until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is even.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 9

Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 10

Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over half of the dough, leaving a 1 cm (1/2 inch) border around the edges.

Step 11

Fold the other half of the dough over the chocolate mixture, pressing gently to seal the edges.

Step 12

Cut the folded dough into squares or desired shapes using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Step 13

Place the cut pastries on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each piece.

Step 14

Brush the tops lightly with almond milk for a golden finish.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 16

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
