Notes
¾th cup of porter/darker beer was suggested in the original recipe, which I have replaced with almond milk. The next time I make these waffles I want to try substituting it with freshly squeezed orange juice.
The white topping on the waffles is sweet cashew cream which is sort of a substitute for whipping cream. This recipe too is from the same book. I'm not writing the recipe here because I'm not completely satisfied with the result. The taste was definitely good but it did not firm up as much as it was mentioned in the book. So I'm going to try it again and will have to decide then whether to post the recipe or not.
Taste & Texture
These vegan chocolate waffles tasted like a "low-fat, low-sugar chocolate cake" for me. I think I would increase the quantity of vanilla extract by another teaspoon when I prepare it again.
