How to Make Vegan Biscoff Brownies

Preheat the oven to 180℃ fan and prepare an 8 x 8 inch square tin by lining it with greaseproof paper. This step ensures your brownies come out easily, with minimal cleanup.
Sift the dry ingredients by combining cocoa powder and flour in a medium bowl. This aerates the mixture, resulting in a lighter, fluffier brownie batter.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie. Fill a small saucepan 1/4 full with water, and in a heatproof bowl over the pan, combine the dairy-free chocolate and butter. Stir until smooth and melted, then remove from heat to cool.
Whip the aquafaba and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl. Using high speed, whip for about 5 minutes until thick and glossy; this will provide aeration for your brownies.
Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the whipped aquafaba. Gently fold together until just incorporated—be careful not to deflate the mixture!
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder mixture. Fold gently until the batter is thick and no dry bits remain, creating that decadent brownie texture.
Mix in the roughly chopped Biscoff biscuits. This adds delightful crunchy bits throughout your brownies, enhancing both texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into your lined tin, and level off the top with a spatula. This step ensures even baking for your brownies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they should be set but still slightly soft in the center when done.
Cool the brownies in the tin on a wire rack until fully cooled. Patience is key here; it’ll allow for better slicing!
Heat the Biscoff spread in a small saucepan on low until melted, stirring constantly. This creates a silky glaze to spread over your cooled brownies.
Drizzle the melted Biscoff spread evenly over the brownies once they are cool to the touch. This adds a delightful layer of flavor and a sophisticated finish.
Chill the brownies in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set the Biscoff glaze. This will help the flavors meld beautifully.
Blend the mascarpone cream ingredients in a high-speed blender until super smooth. A velvety consistency is crucial for a delicious topping!
Pour the cream over the set Biscoff spread, creating an even layer that adds a luxurious touch to your brownies.
Blitz a few Biscoff biscuits into crumbs, and sprinkle them generously over the cream layer, adding both crunch and aesthetic appeal.
Chill the brownies in the fridge overnight to set the cream fully—this makes for a firm, sliceable dessert that’s ready to dazzle.
Slice the brownies into squares. Gently score the edges of the tin and push the brownies out onto a chopping board, then wipe the knife clean between cuts for perfect brownies.

Optional: Drizzle extra melted Biscoff spread on top for an even sweeter treat!

Expert Tips for Vegan Biscoff Brownies

Measure Precisely: Make sure to accurately measure your ingredients, especially the aquafaba and sugar, to achieve the perfect fudgy texture in your Vegan Biscoff Brownies.
Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool fully in the tin before cutting. This step prevents them from becoming crumbly and ensures clean edges when sliced.
Fold Gently: When incorporating the melted chocolate into the aquafaba, fold gently to maintain aeration. Overmixing can deflate the batter, leading to denser brownies.

What is the best way to store Vegan Biscoff Brownies?
You can store your Vegan Biscoff Brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just make sure they’re completely cool before sealing them up. This way, they’ll retain their moisture and fudgy texture while the flavors continue to develop.

What should I do if the brownies are too crumbly when cutting?
If you find your brownies are crumbly, it’s likely that they weren’t cooled fully before slicing, so make sure to let them cool completely. Additionally, ensure that you correctly measured the ingredients—especially the wet ingredients like aquafaba and dairy-free butter—to achieve that perfect fudgy consistency.

Are these brownies suitable for pets or anyone with nut allergies?
It’s always best to be cautious! The main ingredients used in Vegan Biscoff Brownies do not contain nuts, but check the label on your Biscoff spread, as some brands may have cross-contamination warnings. Additionally, while aquafaba is safe for most pets, it’s not advisable to share baked goods with them, as chocolate can be harmful to dogs. Always check with a vet if unsure!

Can I modify this recipe to make it gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. Just make sure to use a substitute that has a good ratio of rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour for the best results.
