Dough Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the chocolate vegan rolls dough according to its recipe. While the dough is resting, you'll have time to prepare the filling and glaze.

Filling Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded coconut, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla sugar.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the coconut has absorbed most of the liquid. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vegan cooking cream until well combined.
  4. Allow the filling to cool to room temperature. As it cools, it will thicken to a spreadable consistency.
  5. If the filling seems too loose once cooled, you can add more shredded coconut, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

Glaze Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the oat milk and maple syrup until well combined. Set aside for later use.

Assembly and Baking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Prepare a 30cm x 11cm (12" x 4") baking pan by greasing it with vegan butter and then dusting with cocoa powder. This will prevent your roll from sticking and maintain the chocolate theme.
  3. On a surface lightly dusted with cocoa powder, roll out your chocolate dough into a rectangle about the same width as your pan (30cm/12") and about 3-4mm (1/8") thick.
  4. Spread the cooled coconut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough, encasing the filling. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.
  6. Carefully transfer the roll to your prepared pan, seam side down.
  7. Brush the top of the roll with the prepared glaze.
  8. Use a skewer to poke holes all over the top of the roll. This will allow steam to escape during baking.
  9. Cover the roll with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. This gives the dough time to rise a bit more before baking.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then cover the roll with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
  11. Continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the roll feels firm and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  12. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 20 minutes.
  13. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This will take a couple of hours, so be patient!
  14. Once completely cool, you can optionally dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted vegan chocolate for extra decadence.
  15. Slice and serve. Enjoy your homemade vegan chocolate coconut roll!
  16. Store your chocolate coconut roll in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  17. For longer storage, you can refrigerate the roll for up to a week. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
  18. This roll can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before freezing.
  19. To serve from frozen, thaw the roll overnight in the refrigerator, then let it come to room temperature before slicing.
