- 100 g dark chocolate dairy free
- 160 g sugar
- 200 g ground almonds
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 3 tbsp chickpea brine aka aqua faba
- 4 tbsp soy milk
Grate the chocolate finely and mix with all the other dry ingredients.
Whisk the chickpea brine in a clean bowl until it's white and foamy but not stiff yet.
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 :)
