Ingredients

• 150 grams Dark chocolate (vegan)
• 100 grams Coconut oil
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 20 grams Cocoa powder
• 150 milliliters Almond milk
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease four small ramekins with a little coconut oil.

Step 2

Break the vegan dark chocolate into smaller pieces and melt it together with the coconut oil over a double boiler, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the almond milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

Step 5

Gradually pour the almond milk mixture into the bowl of melted chocolate, whisking continuously to combine, then slowly add the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth, homogenous batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Place the ramekins onto a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft to touch.

Step 8

Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow them to cool for 1 minute, before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes.

Step 9

Invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate to release the petit gateau, serving immediately to enjoy the luscious molten center.

Step 10

Optionally, serve alongside fresh berries or a scoop of non-dairy ice cream for an extra treat.
