Ingredients
  

For the White Chicken Chili:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 can 15 oz white beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup vegan chicken pieces
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime

For the Coffee Truffle Topping:

  • 1/4 cup coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon brewed espresso
  • 1 cup dark vegan chocolate chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions
 

For the Chili:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roasting isn’t just for vegetables; it’s for greatness.
  • Toss beans and vegan chicken with olive oil, spices, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes until crispy.
  • Meanwhile, sauté onion and garlic in a pot until fragrant, like the start of any good story.
  • Add roasted beans and vegan chicken to the pot, along with vegetable broth and coconut cream. Simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  • Stir in fresh lime juice and adjust seasoning as needed. Now you’ve got a bowl of happiness.

For the Coffee Truffle Topping:

  • Heat coconut cream in a small saucepan until it simmers, then remove from heat.
  • Stir in espresso, chopped chocolate, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  • Spoon the rich ganache over the chili, and dust with cocoa powder for that extra flair.
