Is Chocolate Vegan?

Chocolate isn’t inherently vegan, as it is made from cocoa beans, which are processed with milk and other dairy products. Fortunately for you, many types of chocolate don’t contain any animal products, making them suitable for vegans to consume. In a nutshell, the presence of animal-derived components distinguishes vegan chocolate from non-vegan chocolate.

Milk, milk fat, butter, and cream are examples of common animal-derived components found in non-vegan chocolate. Milk chocolate and other chocolate products containing milk have these components; however, dark chocolate is normally made with cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar and doesn’t contain any milk products. It is essential to remember, however, that some dark chocolate may still contain animal-derived ingredients, so it is always a good idea to read the label. – You know how they say, better safe than sorry.

As we have already mentioned, not eating animal products doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the best desserts, as vegan chocolate can be made with plant-based alternatives to milk, such as soy or almond milk, to create vegan milk chocolate. What’s more, many brands sell vegan-friendly dark chocolate, so you are covered.

Speaking of desserts, how about vegan cookies with no butter, milk, or any other food of animal origin recipe? If you like this idea, keep reading because you will be surprised at how simple, tasty, and guilt-free a treat may be.

Notes

When baking these cookies, make sure to work swiftly because coconut oil will eventually return to room temperature. That will stiffen the dough and make it harder for you to bake. Feel free to add more chocolate chips to your heart’s desire. You can also add nuts or flake some sea salt.
Coconut oil has a tolerance for high temperatures. It is a replacement for other fats such as butter and shortening. Likewise, it is a good pan prep fat. Search for high-quality chocolate created with sugar and cocoa butter. Keep in mind that cookies resume cooking as they cool down so, do not overbake them. Also, these are vegan cookies, so it is okay that it is a bit undercooked.

Cookie dough can be frozen in a variety of methods, including:

  1. Roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the baking sheet with the dough balls until they are firm, then transfer them to a resealable plastic bag or container.
  2. Roll the dough out into a log shape and wrap it in plastic wrap or parchment paper and freeze the log in a resealable plastic bag or container.
  3. Press the dough into a flat, even layer in a resealable plastic bag or container and freeze.

Do you know what is best of all? You can store them for up to three months. Also, there is no need to defrost/thaw the cookie dough before baking, simply add another 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.

These vegan cookies with no butter, milk or any other food of animal origin recipe are ideal for lunchboxes or get-togethers at someone else’s house when you need a portable vegan dessert that you can transport from point A to point B without making a mess.

Keep the leftovers in an airtight plastic container with a quarter slice of bread, if you have one, to keep the cookies perfectly moist. Be sure to store them in a glass container for “crunchier” results. Stored in this way, they are guaranteed to have the same taste as when they were just taken out of the oven for about 2-3 days.
