Dough Instructions
- 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
- In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded coconut, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla sugar.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vegan cooking cream until well combined.
- Allow the filling to cool to room temperature. As it cools, it will thicken to a spreadable consistency.
- 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
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oat milk and maple syrup until well combined. Set aside for later use.
Assembly and Baking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread the cooled coconut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough, encasing the filling. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.
- Carefully transfer the roll to your prepared pan, seam side down.
- Brush the top of the roll with the prepared glaze.
- Use a skewer to poke holes all over the top of the roll. This will allow steam to escape during baking.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then cover the roll with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- Continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the roll feels firm and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 20 minutes.
- Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This will take a couple of hours, so be patient!
- Once completely cool, you can optionally dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted vegan chocolate for extra decadence.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy your homemade vegan chocolate coconut roll!
- Store your chocolate coconut roll in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- 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.
- This roll can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before freezing.
- To serve from frozen, thaw the roll overnight in the refrigerator, then let it come to room temperature before slicing.
