Ingredients
Ingredients for the base
- 220 g of plain flour
- 40 g of cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 120 g of coconut oil melted
Ingredients for the brownie
- 80 g of coconut oil
- 155 g of dairy-free chocolate
- 100 ml of chickpea brine aquafaba
- 120 g of caster sugar
- 120 g of plain flour
- 10 g of cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
- 100 g of dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
For the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart tin with coconut oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Mix until dough forms.
- Press the dough into the tin, prick the base with a fork, and partially bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
For the Brownie Filling:
- Whip aquafaba in a large mixing bowl for about 5 minutes until frothy using a stand mixer or electric hand whisk.
- In a small saucepan, melt coconut oil and chocolate over low heat. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
- Gradually add sugar to the aquafaba while whipping.
- Once thick and glossy, add the cooled chocolate mixture and continue to whip.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter over the crust, spreading it evenly to the edges.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and tap the tin gently to help the brownie set.
Tips that Might Help You!
- Crispy Crust: For an extra-crisp base, ensure the crust is well-pressed into the tart tin. Prick it with a fork to prevent air bubbles, and bake it long enough to form a solid foundation without burning.
- Whip Aquafaba Well: The key to light and airy brownies is whipping the chickpea brine (aquafaba) until it’s frothy and glossy. It should nearly double in size to create the perfect texture for the brownie filling.
- Chocolate Quality: Use high-quality dairy-free chocolate for the melted chocolate and the chips for the most decadent flavor. It makes a noticeable difference in the final taste of your brownie.
- Melt Chocolate Properly: When melting the coconut oil and chocolate mixture, do so on low heat to prevent the chocolate from seizing or burning. Let it cool slightly before adding to the aquafaba mixture to avoid deflating the whipped foam.
- Even Batter Distribution: When pouring the brownie batter onto the crust, spread it evenly and ensure it reaches the edges. Tapping the tin gently before baking helps settle the batter and ensures it bakes evenly.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the baking time. The tart should be set but slightly fudgy in the center. It will firm up as it cools, so don’t overbake it for a dry texture.
- Tart Serving Tip: For an extra touch, dust the top of the tart with cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of dairy-free chocolate sauce before serving. Pair with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or whipped coconut cream for a luxurious finish.
