Alan Roettinger shared this super yummy vegan chocolate dessert recipe from his book, Speed Vegan, published by Book Publishing Company. This dairy-free chocolate dessert has the classic texture of a pot de creme recipe without the cream or egg yolks! It’s a great recipe to share with lactose-intolerant friends – they’ll be thrilled to be able to enjoy deep chocolately creaminess again!

1 can (14 oz. ) coconut milk
5 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely torn

1. Put the coconut milk in a small pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.

2. Put the chocolate in a blender and pour the hot coconut milk over it. Add the basil, agave nectar, orange zest, vanilla extract, and peppercorns. Process on high until the chocolate is thoroughly melted and the mixture is smooth.
