Vegan Thai Chocolate Cremes
This recipe was made up pretty much over the weekend... but with a few referrals to other websites - I couldn't find any recipes that used this combination of ingredients... the first batch of 6 went down very well indeed.. :-)
The flavours are Chilli / Lime / Coconut / Mango
Rough instructions:
Shell:
Organic Seed & Bean Extra Dark Chocolate - Chilli & Lime
- I needed about 2x100g bars for 6 pieces.
White Inside - i didn't measure the amounts:
Creamed coconut - grated - about an inch of a block finely grated
Non-sweetened dessicated coconut
Agave syrup or golden syrup - enough to make a thick paste or a little more...
- Mash to a thick paste with a fork...
Yellow:
Dried mango left to rehydrate in water for 30 mins - drained and dabbed dry...
- Mash the mango with the coconut...
Construction:
1) Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water... spoon into moulds (I used a silicone muffin pan from Lakeland) ... turn the mould so that the bottom is covered all over.. I floated the pan in cold water to speed the cooling process. Then I let them set whilst I made the filling. You could add a second layer if the first does not reach all up the edge of the mould.. but you do need to cover the sides of the mould quite well..
2) take a small amount of coconut, shape into a disc that fits into the mould and drop it into the bottom of each chocolate mould - this would be the top white layer in the photo, - gently press the mixture down - not too hard - don't worry about gaps.. it doesn't matter how you choose to fill it.. the idea is to fill with three layers...
3) take a small disc of the mango mixture and drop in on top...smooth down with finger or teaspoon...
4) top with a final thin disc of coconut... don't fill right to the top of the mould or there's no room for the last layer of chocolate...
5) Melt more chocolate in a bowl... spoon chocolate over each filled mould so that the mould is completely filled and flattened over right to the edges... I used a spoon to gently press down on the mixture as I topped each up.. be careful not to push down too hard...
6) Leave to set in the fridge . away from hands...
