Ingredients

For the biscuits

  • 200 g vegan butter
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 280 g plain flour
  • 3 tablespoon plant milk

For the filling

  • 100 g vegan cream
  • 200 g dark chocolate

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together.
  • Add the flour and cocoa powder and bring together until it forms a crumbly dough.
  • If needed, add the plant milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.
  • Tip it out onto a work surface and knead just long enough until you have a ball of dough (you don't want to over work it.
  • Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C / 160° fan and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Once the dough is chilled, roll out to approximately ½ cm thickness and cut into rectangular shapes (I like to use a scalloped edge cookie cutter for extra flair). You should have 24 rectangles in total.
  • Prick two rows of holes onto 12 of the biscuits and, if you are able to, stamp the word "bourbon" across the centre.
  • Place the cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. They will still feel a little soft when they come out of the oven but will harden when they cool.
  • Leave to cool completely before filling.
  • Once the biscuits are cooled, heat the cream until just starting to boil.
  • While its heating cut your chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate has completely melted.
  • Stir while the ganache cools. You want it to be thick but still soft enough to spread or pipe.
  • Once it's cooled down to the desired consistency, either spread or pipe the filling on to the bottom of each bourbon and sandwich the top biscuit on top.
