Vegan Galette des Rois

This Vegan Galette des Rois is a delightful twist on the traditional French pastry, filled with almond cream and a touch of orange zest, perfect for a cozy brunch. Flaky and rich, it embodies the spirit of celebration while being entirely plant-based.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 g
• Vegan butter - 100 g
• Almond flour - 100 g
• Powdered sugar - 50 g
• Maple syrup - 2 tbsp
• Almond milk - 3 tbsp
• Orange zest - 1 tsp
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Salt - 1/4 tsp
• Ground cinnamon - 1/4 tsp
• Aquafaba - 2 tbsp (from canned chickpeas)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the vegan butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of cold almond milk and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. In another bowl, mix the almond flour, powdered sugar, maple syrup, orange zest, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and aquafaba until smooth to create the almond cream filling.
5. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into two circles, about 25 cm in diameter.
6. Place one circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and spread the almond cream filling in the center, leaving a 2 cm border around the edges.
7. Cover with the second dough circle and seal the edges by pressing with a fork or your fingers. Cut a few slits on top to allow steam to escape.
8. Brush the top with a little almond milk for a golden finish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
