From yorkshirepost.co.uk

With the spooky season just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about baking some ghoulish delights. And with the increase in the number of people going vegan why not try this scarily tasty recipe for dairy-free Halloween brownies?

Prep time: 45 mins

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

For the ghosts:

1 pack Violife Creamy Original (£2.50 RSP, available at Asda, Coop, Tesco, M&S, Waitrose & Ocado)

1 bag white vegan marshmallows

1 Tbsp Vanilla essence

100ml coconut cream

2 Tbsp Agave syrup

For the brownies:

140g plain flour

20g cocoa powder

200g caster sugar

80ml vegetable oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

200g vegan dark chocolate, melted

240ml coconut milk

75g vegan chocolate chips

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 20X20cm tin with baking paper.

In a large mixing bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and whisk to mix.

Add oil, vanilla, melted chocolate and coconut milk. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Add chocolate chips (keeping some for the ghost decorations) and mix gently.

Pour batter into the baking tin and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl whisk the Violife Creamy with the coconut cream, agave syrup and vanilla essence.

When the brownies have cooled down, cut into equal squares. Place a marshmallow on each square, using a little bit of the Creamy mixture as ‘glue’.

Using a spoon, pour the creamy mixture over the marshmallow, resembling a ghost shape. Use the remaining chocolate chips to decorate with eyes and mouths.
