Vegan Chocolate: Unapologetically Luscious and Decadent Dairy-Free Desserts Description
It can be difficult to find truly indulgent vegan desserts—especially chocolate. But for the first time, chocolate cakes, brownies, truffles, puddings, ice creams, and more are within reach: dairy-free, organic, fair-trade, and sublime.
Author, baking instructor, and vegan powerhouse Fran Costigan has dedicated years to satisfying her sweet tooth while keeping it vegan. Through experimentation and long hours in the kitchen, she’s recreated some of her favorite chocolate desserts as better-for-you interpretations that pass the taste test: Bittersweet Chocolate Truffles (with a variety of flavor variations), a Brooklyn Blackout Layer Cake, a Sacher Torte, even chocolate Moon Pies! Her detailed instructions make for professional-quality outcomes every time: it’s like a personal baking class, right in your kitchen.
The perfect gift for anyone with a sweet tooth, Vegan Chocolate is sure to become an instant classic.

I will say that I was a tester for this book so I have tried a fair amount of these recipes and had the pleasure of making them with the guidance of Fran. She has made this book such an incredible masterpiece. I knew it would be great but it far exceeded my expectations. Fran has such a vast amount of experience and knowledge with all things pastry and a love for chocolate and it shows. The book is brimming with information to help you succeed and each recipe is clearly written and explained so you will have no problems. The ingredients are easy to find and there are lots of ideas for substitutions whether they be for allergies or lifestyle (oil free) or just taste preference. Fran has used wholesome ingredients and yet the desserts always taste rich and indulgent. The book itself is beautiful, I feel bad putting it on the bookshelf. There are lots of full color photographs to show you what you aiming for and just to make you drool!
Some of my favorites are the legendary Chocolate Cake to Live For, Chocolate and Olive Oil cake (my mother requested it for her birthday!), Blondies, Magic Cookie Bars, Low fat and Luscious Hot Cocoa as well as the Quick and Easy Homemade Hot Cocoa, Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread Pudding, Brooklyn Blackout Cake (my husband's favourite), Chocolate Pecan Cranberry Coffee Cake (decadent spin on a classic), Creme Fraiche Truffles (I couldn't stop eating them!), Mocha Creme Br?lée (so rich and creamy), Chocolate Almost Instant Pudding and the Raspberry Chocolate Silk Tart.
I have to point out our two very favourite recipes. The Buche de Noel is a standout! It is incredibly tasty and while it seems intimidating to make, Fran has broken it down into manageable steps in order so you have a plan of attack.
