Tips for Vegan Baking With Chocolate
1. Choose High-Quality Vegan Chocolate!
Pick Whitakers vegan-friendly chocolate for rich flavour and smooth texture in your bakes.
Check labels to ensure it’s dairy-free and suits vegan diets.
High-quality chocolate melts evenly, making it ideal for brownies, tarts, or ganache.
2. Melt Chocolate Gently
Use a low heat when melting Whitakers chocolate to avoid burning or seizing.
A double boiler or short microwave bursts work best for smooth results.
Stir often to keep the texture creamy for recipes like fudge cake or cookies.
3. Replace Dairy with Plant-Based Alternatives
Use plant-based milk, like oat or almond, to blend with Whitakers chocolate in recipes.
Vegan butter or coconut oil can mimic dairy’s richness in biscuits or pastry.
These swaps keep bakes moist and flavourful without animal products.
4. Balance Sweetness in Recipes
Whitakers chocolate has a bold taste, so adjust sugar levels to avoid overly sweet bakes.
Taste your batter or dough before baking to get the balance right.
This is key for desserts like brownies or bundt cakes.
5. Store Chocolate Bakes Properly
Keep vegan bakes with Whitakers chocolate in airtight containers to stay fresh.
Store at room temperature for biscuits or refrigerate for tarts and cakes.
Proper storage maintains texture and flavour for days after baking.
