Quick Description
Rich vegan chocolate biscuit logs made without baking.
Crunchy biscuits are coated in a fudgy cocoa-chocolate mixture.
Chill, slice, and enjoy a simple homemade chocolate treat.
📝 Ingredients
- 7 oz (200 g) vegan digestive biscuits, roughly crushed
- 4 oz (115 g) vegan dark chocolate, chopped
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- ⅓ cup unsweetened plant milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts or almonds, optional
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut, optional
Directions
- Crush the biscuits.
Place the vegan biscuits in a bowl and crush them into a mixture of small chunks and crumbs. Avoid turning everything into a fine powder. - Prepare the chocolate mixture.
Add the dark chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vegan butter, and plant milk to a small saucepan. - Melt gently.
Heat over low heat, stirring continuously for about 3–5 minutes, until the chocolate and butter have melted into a smooth mixture. Do not let it boil. - Add flavor.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Let the mixture cool for 2–3 minutes. - Combine.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the crushed biscuits. Add the chopped nuts and coconut if using. Fold gently until all the biscuit pieces are evenly coated. - Shape the first log.
Transfer half of the mixture onto a large sheet of parchment paper. Use your hands or a spatula to shape it into a compact log approximately 2 inches thick. - Wrap tightly.
Roll the parchment around the mixture and twist the ends firmly to create a neat cylinder. - Make the second log.
Repeat with the remaining mixture. Compress both logs firmly so there are no large air pockets. - Chill.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely firm. - Slice and serve.
Remove the logs from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut them into approximately ½-inch slices.
