Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed {check the ingredients to make sure it's vegan}
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon melted vegan butter
  • 2 dark chocolate bars
  • *for topping*
  • coconut milk
  • raw sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment or silicone, and place the thawed sheet of puff pastry on top.
  • Cut 1-inch strips from the center out along each side. If you want to create a folding notch, trim off the top and bottom strips.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter, melted vegan butter, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Spread it in the center part of your prepared puff pastry.
  • Place the two bars of chocolate on top of the peanut butter cream.
  • Fold the top and bottom flaps of puff pastry into the middle, then fold each strip towards the center, overlapping and creating a braid.
  • Brush the braid with the coconut milk, and sprinkle on the raw sugar. Place braid in fridge for about 10 minutes to chill it, then transfer immediately to the oven.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
