Ingredients

Biscuits

200g/7oz dairy free margarine
100g/3½oz caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
300g/10½oz plain flour
1 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp lemon or orange zest
1 tsp mixed spice
To decorate your biscuits – a pre-mixed icing tube

Chocolate Pots

75g/2½oz dark vegan chocolate, melted
300g/10½oz silken tofu
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp maple syrup
½ a small banana

Instructions

Biscuits

Cream the sugar and margarine together and add the flavour of your choice.
Fold in the flour and bring together as a dough, but don’t overwork.
Wrap and place into the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
When the dough has chilled, carefully roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out your biscuits to the shape of your choice. Bake on a lined tray, in a preheated oven 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4 for 12–15 minutes.
When the biscuits are fully cooled, use a tube of ready-made icing to create patterns and words. A decorated biscuit with an individual message can bring a little joy to the day.

Chocolate Pots

Blend all the ingredients together. Divide between 4 small glasses or pots and serve with the individually iced biscuits. Can be chilled before serving. Enjoy!
