What if I told you that you can make your own vegan chocolate pralines filled with almond butter just by whisking ingredients together? No heat, no double boiler, no microwave. And you’ll only need 4 ingredients! This is pure magic.
Okay, listen up: These vegan chocolate pralines filled with almond butter are life-changing! I’m telling you! They are super easy to make (you only have to whisk ingredients together – that’s all!) and so delicious!
The Ingredients for the Vegan Chocolate Pralines
The ingredients are quite basic (pantry staples for me!):
- coconut oil
- maple syrup
- cocoa powder
- and for the filling: almond butter, maple syrup again and water
Unlike many other chocolate recipes, this recipe DOES NOT call for a double boiler, microwave, thermometer for tempering chocolate, cocoa butter, a lot of time or patience.
Instead, you’ll need the ingredients mentioned above (there’s a detailed recipe at the end of the post), a praline mold, a whisk, and a freezer. Super easy!
-
- Add a dollop of almond butter mixed with maple syrup and water for the filling.
-
- Pro Tip: Use the back of a large knife to flatten the pralines and to remove chocolate spillovers on the praline mold before freezing them one last time.
Vegan Chocolate Praline Variations
Of course, you can play around with different kinds of filling, add-ins or make them plain with no filling. Here are a few more inspirations:
- peanut butter filling
- coconut flakes
- puffed quinoa or rice for a crispy add in
- nuts
- raspberry sauce
Storage
The chocolate pralines do melt faster than regular chocolate (because we’re not tempering the chocolate). So keep them in the freezer! That way you’ll always have a cold and refreshing chocolate treat when the chocolate cravings strike!
Vegan Chocolate Pralines
Ingredients
Chocolate Base
- 3 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil (liquid)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Almond Butter Filling
- 2 tablespoons almond butter (I used white almond butter made from blanched almonds)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon water *
Instructions
- Whisk together coconut oil and maple syrup. Sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the coconut oil and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth.
- Add a small dollop of chocolate into praline molds and spread to the sides. Freeze for 5 minutes.
- For the filling, whisk the almond butter, maple syrup, and water until smooth. Once the chocolate has set in the praline mold, add a small dollop of almond butter filling into each one. Then top with the remaining chocolate. Use the back of a knife to flatten the chocolate and to remove chocolate spillovers on the mold.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours! After that, you can remove the chocolates from the praline mold. And dig in! But keep leftover chocolate pralines in the freezer because they melt faster than regular chocolate.

Tolles Rezept! Vielleicht hilft es noch jemand der kein Kokosöl verwenden kann, man kann auch super Kakaobutter verwenden. Viele Grüße, Jesse-Gabriel

I can't have coconut due to allergies. what can replace the coconut oil?

Mhh, that is a good question! The reason why I chose coconut oil is because it's solid at room temperature. I've been seeing at the stores that palm oil is also solid at room temperature. So I guess that would be the next best option.
