Ingredients
Chocolate Ganaches Balls
- 60g oat cream
- 15g milk alternative
- 100g vegan dark chocolate chips
Chocolate Fondant
- 140g vegan dark chocolate (52% or 72%)
- 160g oat cream
- 80g maple syrup
- 50g rapeseed oil
- 100g plain flour
- Vegan spread for greasing
- Vegan cocoa powder for dusting
Mango Coulis
- 1 ripe mango
- 40-60g golden caster sugar (depending on the sweetness of the fruit)
- Water
Instructions
Chocolate Ganaches Balls
- In a heavy bottom saucepan, bring the cream and milk alternative to the boil. Turn off the heat, incorporate the chocolate chips, and stir until you reach a smooth and velvety consistency. Transfer to the fridge.
- When the ganache is hard, roll little balls (6-8g each depending on how strong your chocolate addiction is!). Keep them in the freezer.
Chocolate Fondant
- Preheat the oven to 190°C / gas mark 5.
- Grease the moulds generously with vegan spread and dust evenly with cocoa powder.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave (15 seconds at a time @ 850°C, ensuring the temperature does not exceed 45 degrees).
- Whisk together the oat cream, maple syrup, and rapeseed oil in a mixing bowl. Slowly add the flour. When the mix is homogeneous, pour in the melted chocolate and whisk at medium speed until smooth.
- Fill half of each mould with the fondant mix. Place a chocolate ganache ball in the middle and cover with the rest of the fondant mix (115g per mould).
- Bake at 190°C for 20 minutes. Unmould while warm.
Mango Coulis
- Puree the mango in a blender. Add 1-2 Tbsp of water if needed to facilitate blending.
- Combine the mango puree and sugar in a saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar is dissolved. Add water to achieve the desired consistency, give it a final whisk, and transfer to the fridge.
Presentation
- Cut off about a quarter of the fondant, allowing the chocolate to flow. Pour some mango coulis over the chocolate and decorate with fresh fruits and mint.
