  • 2 tbsp cacao powder
  • 3 tbsp chickpea brine aka aqua faba
  • 4 tbsp soy milk

Instructions

  • Grate the chocolate finely and mix with all the other dry ingredients.

  • Add the chickpea foam and the soy milk into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
  • Cover the dough with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more.
  • Tear small bits (about the size of a cherry tomato) and roll into balls. If you like the sparkly look, roll them in a bit of sugar afterwards.
  • Let the brunsli balls dry uncovered at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 250°C and bake the brunsli balls for 5 minutes. Try to let them cool before eating :)
