Vegansfields naquit une veille de Noël sous le clavier d'une végétalienne / vegan passionnée de cuisine. Au fil des mois, ce petit blog qui monte, qui monte comme la 'tite bêbête, est devenu un lieu de créations culinaires, plutôt portées sur le plaisir sucré, utile à nombre d'aspirants végans, de végétariens avides d'idées nouvelles et de personnes intolérantes aux oeufs et/ou produits laitiers. Je suis rédactrice culinaire pour "Végétariens Magazine".
Comme promis, la recette est à partir de maintenant disponible en anglais.
Un cookie avec une couche craquante et un coeur de brownie moëlleux, ça vous dit ? J'avais à peine déposé les photos sur Flickr que j'ai reçu des demandes pour la recette. Elle vous plaît, la tof, c'est évident. Elle a même retenu l'attention de Mr Erik Marcus, fondateur de vegan.com qui l'a placé sur son blog, c'est un véritable honneur !
The fabulous Vegan Pecan Cookie-Brownie
(le VPCB ! )
+ pour la déco : 20 noix de pécans pour le dessus
Ingredients for 21 to 22 cookies :
140 gr flour
80 gr of brown sugar and 2 bags of vanilla sugar
2 tbs of potato starch
a little bit of soluble coffee
160 gr of black chocolate (I used 55% chocolate)
4 tsp of non-sweetened cacao
40 gr non-dairy margarine
80gr/ml of non-dairy milk (I used soy milk)
20 gr of moulded pecans
20 gr pecan cut into small pieces
½ tbs of baking powder
Tiny bit of salt
And for the decoration: 20 pecans for on the top
Preparation:
In a pan, on low heat, melt the chocolate, cut into small pieces, with the margarine. Mix the coffee with the non-dairy milk and pour it unto the melted chocolate, stir well to get an homogenous mixture.
In another recipient, put the flour, the sugars, the cacao, the powder and the pieces of pecan, the baking powder and the salt, mix well before incorporating it to the chocolate mixture, with a big spoon. The dough will get thicker; you might have to knead it by hand, to get an homogenous dough. (But, you know, the dough is just as delicious, baked as non-baked)
Put the dough on the fridge for about 30 minutes.
In the mean time, break the pecans into 3 to 4 little pieces.
Pré-heat the oven on 6, or 180° (356 ° F).
Take the dough out of the fridge.
Weigh parts of about 25 gr each, and make balls of it, with your fingers.
On top of these, place 3 (or more) pieces of pecan, re-(make a ball quickly and then put it onto the oven plate, covered with a baking sheet, making sure the part with the pecan is on top. (Don’t flatten the balls!)
Bake for 10 minutes.
Don’t hurry to take them off the plate, for they will break! just be patient and let them cool down before devouring them. If you manage to have some left, put them in a tightly closed box and keep them in the fridge. They’re even better the day after, for the brownie-like side will have had time to develop. Wait 5 minutes after taking them out of the fridge, to come to room temperature.
