Ingredients
  

  • 1 layer puff pastry
  • 600 ml vegan whipping cream
  • powdered chocolate or sweet cocoa powder
Vanilla cream
  • 1.5 l soy milk
  • 3 bags vanilla pudding powder
  • 150 g sugar
  • tsp turmeric powder
  • 50 ml chickpea water from canned chickpeas
  • ½ tsp lemon juice

Method
 

  1. 1. First prepare the vanilla cream. Put soy milk in a large pot. In a separate bowl, mix all the vanilla pudding, sugar, and 15-20 tablespoons of milk from the pot. Heat the remaining milk to boiling point. Stir several times in between, otherwise, it may suddenly boil. Mix the pudding, sugar, and milk in a bowl with a whisk to get a smooth batter. When the milk boils, set the pot aside and pour the prepared pudding cream into the milk. Stir well with a whisk to distribute the pudding. Put the pot on the stove again and bring to boil. Stir constantly to make the pudding cook evenly and thicken up nicely.
  2. Once the pudding is cooked, cover it with a lid and allow to cool completely.
  3. Bake the puff pastry according to the instructions. Since this is the bottom layer, we don't cut it, we just bake it in a baking sheet in which we will make cream slices. It is easiest if it is a baking tray with a removable edge. It also works with ordinary baking sheet. Before baking, don't forget to pierce it with a fork so that it doesn't rise too high.
  4. Once the vanilla pudding has cooled, prepare the chickpea water. Put it in a tall bowl and whip it. Before whipping, we add lemon juice to it, which acts as a stabilizer and helps to make a solid cream.
  5. Add the chickpea cream to the vanilla pudding and whip finely with an electric mixer to get a lighter cream. We also add turmeric to make the cream even more yellow.
  6. Whip the whipping cream with an electric mixer. If we have unsweetened cream, add some powdered sugar to taste. For the most part, however, vegan whipping creams already have sweetener added.
  7. When the puff pastry and baking tray have cooled, spread vanilla cream on the dough. Add whipped cream on top of vanilla cream and spread it out.
  8. When both layers are applied, sprinkle the cream slices with chocolate powder or sweet cocoa.

Notes

Instead of vanilla pudding, you can use a homemade mixture. Instead of one bag of pudding, use 40 g of starch, 1/3 teaspoon of turmeric, and 10 drops of vanilla essence (for the whole baking sheet of cream slices, triple this amount - in our case we would use 3 bags
of pudding).
