Why this recipe is effective

A dream come true for chocolate lovers

These brownies include three layers of chocolate: vegan chocolate chips, genuine dark chocolate, and Dutch process cocoa powder. The combination of all three produces an unbelievable rich chocolate taste.

A crinkle top so glossy and alluring?

You can't resist once you catch a sight of the crinkle top brownies. It has a very delicate, ridged, flaky, and feathery texture. The contrast is too wonderful to put into words, especially when combined with a fudgy interior.

Regretfully, vegan brownies hardly ever contain this.

Usually, eggs are the key to brownies' flaky, crinkle-topped texture. But I found out that beating sugar and aquafaba combined produces the same effects.

I tried this approach eleven times and every time I had a crinkle top. Can you say the same with other vegan brownie recipes? Not in my opinion!

You may browse through an extensive selection of fantastic dark chocolate companies on Serious Eats. If not, take a leisurely stroll through the supermarket or artisan market to see what alternative possibilities are available (the majority of high-quality dark chocolate brands are free of milk, but always check the label!).
