Chocolate Note: One tablespoon of chocolate chips just lends richness and depth to the overall taste. Use 2 tablespoons if you want a more pronounced chocolate flavor. See our
Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips Guide for brands.
Puff Pastry Option: Thaw 1 sheet of puff pastry, then preheat your oven to 400ºF. Roll the pastry dough out on a lightly floured surface to remove any cracks from the folds. Using a 4-inch cookie cutter (or freehand) cut 4 rounds, squares, or hearts. (You will have leftover dough. It’s fun to cut smaller hearts to decorate the plate, if you want.) Transfer the cut pastry to a baking sheet, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until nicely golden. Transfer the puff to a cooling rack to cool. When cool, gently split the tops from the bottoms. Place the pastry bottoms on two plates, spoon one-fourth of the vegan bourguignon on each, then top with the pastry tops.
