Chocolate-Apple Tart

May 31, 2016 by Epicurean Vegan

Chocolate-Apple Tart -- Epicurean Vegan

Sometimes you’re just in the mood to make something sweet for breakfast…but this also makes a great after dinner treat. With some puff pastry in the freezer, the possibilities are about endless!

INGREDIENTS:
1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
1 tsp vegan margarine
Flour
1 apple (I used a Honeycrisp), sliced very thin
1 Tbs sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 C semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
1-2 Tbs almond milk
1/2 C powdered sugar
Almond milk

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375. Grease an 11×17 baking sheet with the vegan margarine; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry sheet out into a large rectangle, to fit the baking sheet. Use a fork to poke holes in the dough—about 8 different places. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the pastry is just barely browned.

Layer on the apples.

In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar with some almond milk—a teaspoon at a time—to create icing. Drizzle both the chocolate and icing over the baked tart. Cut and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Gooey Chai-Spiced Brownies

September 10, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Gooey Chai-Spiced Brownies -- Epicurean VeganI can’t remember the last time I made a batch of brownies. I was craving them, however, I didn’t want just any ordinary brownies, so I added some chai spices. With only 5 minutes of prep time and about 25 minutes to cook, they make a quick, go-to dessert for last minute guests.

INGREDIENTS:
1 C flour
1 C granulated sugar
1/4 C cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 C water
1/4 + 1 Tbs C vegetable oil
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cardamon
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cloves
1/2  tsp fennel seed
1 C dark chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamon, ginger, cloves, and fennel (basically all the dry ingredients) in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the water, oil, and vanilla and add to the dry mixture. Combine well.

Stir in the chocolate chips and pour into a lightly greased 8″ baking pan. It will have a thick pudding-like consistency.

February 14, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Chocolate Truffles -- Epicurean VeganOh my…these will be the perfect ending to your Valentine’s Day dinner! (or any dinner for that matter.) You won’t believe these tasty, decadent treats are vegan.

INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 C Vegan chocolate chips, such as SunSpire brand (Ghiradelli makes a great vegan chocolate chip)
8 oz Tofutti cream cheese
3 C Confectioners’ sugar
1-1/2 tsp Vanilla
Stuff to roll them in: sweetened cocoa, sprinkles, confectioners’ sugar, toasted coconut, finely chopped nuts, or cinnamon and sugar.

DIRECTIONS:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips. In a food processor, cream the cream cheese, about 1 min. Add the confectioners’ sugar, about a cup at a time. Combine until smooth.

Another suggestion would be using just a cup of chocolate chips and adding 1/2 C of peanut butter and melt together. Enjoy!

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
