Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius fan. Line an 8x8 inch square or loose base tin with grease proof paper, allowing it to hang over the edges.
- Sift cocoa powder, malt powder, and flour together in a medium bowl.
- In a small saucepan, fill one quarter full with water and place on medium heat. Melt dairy-free chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over the pan (bain-marie). Remove and cool slightly.
Mixing
- In a medium bowl, whip aquafaba and sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes until thick and glossy.
- Pour the chocolate and butter mixture over the aquafaba and gently fold together.
- Fold in the sifted flour, malt powder, and cocoa mixture until a thick batter forms.
- Fold in chopped Maltesers.
Baking
- Pour batter into the lined tin and level off.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes (reduce by 5 minutes for fudgy brownies). Cool on a wire rack.
Ganache and Serving
- For ganache, combine chocolate and coconut cream in a saucepan, heat on low, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly, then pour over brownies.
- Sprinkle on vegan Maltesers while ganache is wet.
- Chill in the fridge for about 1 hour until set.
- Lift out of the tin and cut into squares.
Notes
Serve slightly chilled for that perfect contrast between fudgy center and crunchy spheres. Plate with crushed Maltesers and a flake of sea salt, or serve with coconut vanilla ice cream and salted caramel.
