Vegan MoFo! Day Five: Chocolate Biscuits

Sorry for the delay on our fifth VeganMoFo post! We've been working very hard to make our local Gay Pride celebration a success and it has been quite a busy few days.

We wanted to share one of our easier recipes with you today. This is another one that we get requests for during our weekly Sunday brunches.

These biscuits are quick, delicious, and impressive- especially for those guests that may not be convinced vegan pastries can be just as savory and scrumptious as their egg and diary filled counterparts!

You will only need two ingredients.

You will need:
1 tube of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 bag of vegan chocolate chips

So first, let's talk about these two ingredients.

As mentioned in our previous blog post Quick and Easy Impressive Bread which also involved Pillsbury Crescent Rolls- they are vegan... that doesn't mean they are natural... just that they are animal free. We've seen some amazing things done with these guys at our monthly vegan potlucks. Veggie dogs in a blanket, mini enchilada rolls, apple turnovers... they're so versatile!

Now, as far as the chocolate chips go, you'll most likely be able to find them at any grocery store. The Ghirardelli Semi Sweet chocolate chips are confirmed as being egg and diary free and from what we understand there are a few other options as well.

If you can't find any,  you could always crush a bar of dark chocolate and make your own chips! We've noticed most stores carry the Endangered Species bars. (Just double check the back of your bar, not all dark chocolate is animal product free!)

What to do:

Pop, unroll, and separate crescent triangles. 

Put about 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into each triangle and roll upwards while closing sides until a fully closed roll is formed. 

(If not all sides are sealed chocolate chips will spill out while cooking.)

Set each roll on a cooking sheet at least an inch apart from each other and bake according to instructions on tube. They will most likely need to be cooked longer than directed. Check frequently and remove from oven when rolls are golden brown.

Your rolls should come out soft, warm, and gooey on the inside!

These are a real brunch treat and your guests are sure to love them!

With peace, love, and compassion-
