10 minute Chocolate Pudding!!

This recipe is from the New York Times's food journalist Mark Bittman. I thought I should share it with everyone as it is a really great dessert and it's so easy to make it almost seems like a dream.

Warning: This is a really rich dessert so I only recommend it to real chocolate lovers.

Serves 8:

Ingredients:

-450g of silken tofu (a pound)
-200g good quality melted dark chocolate (I've made it with 85%, 75% and 65% and its been great with each of them but it really depends on your taste)
-3/4 cup of sugar syrup, half water/half sugar
-1/2 tsp of cinnamon, good cinnamon otherwise it doesn't taste like anything
-1/2 tsp of chilli powder, careful not to use a really hot one
-1/4 tsp of vanilla essence

Method:

-Once you've melted the chocolate, blend it all together, put it into glasses or dishes and refrigerate. Once it has cooled eat it!!
As Bittman mentions you can put chocolate shavings on top, or nuts or anything you like really. I also think it would be nice with bananas.

Black Bean Soup and Homemade Tortillas

Hello vegan lovers, Today I made Black Bean Soup and Homemade Flour Tortillas for my family. The tortillas are really different from the ones you get in the store, they are a little bit thicker and the have a lot more taste, they are soooo much nicer!  The recipes are really easy and really nice, I think the hardest ingredient to find is the black beans, but if you live in the UK Morrisons usually has them or try an Asian supermarket. Ingredients: (for 2-4 servings) two cans of black beans (400 gr), rinsed 1 chopped medium onion 4 chopped cloves of garlic 1 chopped pepper (I prefer green) 1 chopped chili (depending on how spicy you like it choose a different kind of chili) 1 cube of vegetable stock 1 can of chopped tomatoes 1 tsp of cumin some chili powder water salt fresh coriander (cilantro) For the flour tortillas: 2 cups of plain flour salt 1/4 cup of vegan spread (butter substitute, usually made of soya, for example "Alpro soya spread") a...

The Ultimate Brownie!

There is absolutely no reason why vegans should not have brownie so here I post a easy and great chocolaty brownie recipe. I really like brownies that have a lot of chocolate and I find that normally recipes that call for two kinds of chocolate are the best there should be a difference between "chocolate cake" and "brownie" Ingredients: 2 cups of plain flour 1 and a half cups of demerara sugar 1 cup of cocoa powder 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of baking powder 1 cup of vegetable oil 1 cup of water 100 gr of melted dark chocolate nuts (optional) Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Centigrades. Mix all the dry ingredients and then add the vegetable oil, the water and the chocolate. Mix well and stir in the nuts. Put it in a suitable oven dish, 10x5 inch or 25x17 cm aprox. is what I used. I covered it with grease paper to make it easier to clean afterwards, but otherwise cover the inside of te dish with some oil or soy spread. Cook for around 20-25 min, let ...

Not-so-Easy Aranchini with Purple Coliflower Salad

We had the crazy idea to make Aranchini.... I say crazy because it is a lot of work so only do this if you really want to impress someone. There is one thing I have to say, they are a lot of fun to make with people! I said it is a lot of work but they are not difficult to make, you need to be good with your hands and also a good deep-frier, if you can't fry them properly you'll end up with oily balls. Before you read the whole post I will just briefly explain what you need to do so that you can decide whether you want to embark on this long journey to deliciousness. You need to make: -the filling. -the rice, which needs to cool before you can manipulate it. -the batter -make balls of rice and then make a whole in them to put the filling in. -dunk them in the batter and then in bread-crumbs -deep-fry them -eat them!! If that hasn't put you off continue reading... I got this recipe from Giorgio Locatelli's Made in Sicily and then I made it vegan by changi...
