Chocolate Crème Brulée Cupcakes

Recipe by Erica – “I took a batch of these in to work one day and they were a huge hit! No one could even tell that they were dairy free!!”

Prep time: 45 minutes; Cook time: 1 hour 10 minutes; Servings: 25

The Crème Brulée – Ingredients:
1 tsp. of vanilla bean paste or 1-1/2 tsp. french vanilla extract
2 cups of coconut cream or blended tofu, chilled
1/2 cup of white sugar
5 large egg yolks (at room temperature)
8 tsp. of raw sugar granules (set aside for top of frosting)

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 300°F and prepare water bath.
  2. Note: Prepare custard several hours before to give it time to cool completely.
  3. Combine vanilla bean paste, ½ of the coconut cream or blended tofu, all the white sugar, and salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir every now and then to prevent the coconut cream or blended tofufrom scorching or forming a skin.
  4. Once boiled, remove the pan from heat and let sit for 15 minutes.
  5. Add in the remaining coconut cream or blended tofu to cool down the mixture, stirring continuously. Whisk the egg yolks together in a separate large bowl until smooth. While whisking eggs, slowly add in the cream mixture; be sure it is cooled so you don’t scramble the yolks.
  6. Pour into the ramekins filling almost full. Place a roasting or cake pan onto oven rack. Place custard filled ramekins into the pan. Add boiling water into the pan until about 2/3 of the way up the sides of the ramekins, being careful not to splash water into ramekins.
  7. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until custard wiggles a bit when moved (about 170°F temperature reading of custard).
  8. Move ramekins to cooling rack and cool to room temperature (about 2 hours).
  9. Prepare cupcakes as custard cools.
  10. Note: If storing in fridge overnight, place plastic wrap directly on custard surface to prevent skinning. If any skin does form during cooling, skim the top skin off, just so that the filling is as creamy as possible.

The Chocolate Cupcakes – Ingredients:
2 cups of white sugar
1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
3/4 cups of cocoa powder
1-1/2 tsp. of baking powder
1-1/2 tsp. of baking soda
1 tsp. of salt
2 eggs
1 cup of ZenSoy Soymilk
1/2 cup of melted dairy free butter
2 tsp. of french vanilla extract
1 cup of boiling water

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line 25-30 muffin cups and set aside.
  2. Mix together dry ingredients (sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) in a large bowl.
  3. Add wet ingredients (eggs, soymilk, melted “butter”, and french vanilla) and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin).
  4. Note: You’re going to end up filling the muffin tins halfway full. First, fill muffin tins 1/4 full. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the prepared and cooled crème brulée on top of the cupcake mix, directly in the center. Add muffin mix on top of crème brulée until cup is half full.
  5. Bake 22-25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Note: Pick will not come out clean if inserted directly in the center due to filling. Insert slightly offset from the center in order to check the doneness of the cupcake.
  6. When finished, remove from pans to cooling racks. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

The Buttercream Frosting – Ingredients:
1/2 cup of shortening
1/2 cup of dairy free margarine
3-1/2 cups of powdered sugar
1-1/2 tsp. of french vanilla extract
1/4 cup of ZenSoy Soymilk

Directions:

  1. Beat the shortening and margarine together until fluffy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and beat for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the french vanilla and soy milk and beat for another 5-7 minutes, until fluffy.

FINAL PREP (where it all comes together!)

  1. Generously frost each cupcake; use a piping bag with your choice of tip to add character.
  2. Finish each frosted cupcake with a sprinkle of raw sugar.

 

Chocolate Banana Brownies with Coconut Butter

Recipe and photo by Liz of It’s A Cupcake World – “These are dairy-free as well as vegan.”

Ingredients:
1 cup coconut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup mashed bananas (approx. 2 bananas)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flower
3/4 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup ZenSoy chocolate milk

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 inch pan.
  2. If coconut butter is not soft at room temperature, soften slightly in the microwave. It’s ok if a small amount is melted and liquid. Put coconut butter in mixer fitted with paddle attachment and beat for 30 seconds. Add granulated and brown sugars and beat. It will take on a crumbly texture. Add the mashed bananas, and beat until creamy.
  3. Mix together the baking powder, salt, flour, and cocoa powder in a separate bowl. Add all at once to the sugar and coconut butter mixture. Mix. When starting to combine, add the ZenSoy chocolate milk on a low speed, so it doesn’t splash over the bowl. Once combined, pour into pan.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes. The batter is dark, so don’t be afraid that it’s burning. When a toothpick is inserted into the brownies you want them to be just slightly gooey.
  5. Let cool before slicing and serving, and if desired sprinkle with a small amount of shredded coconut.
