Cacao nibs are lower in sugar and calories.

Combine sugar, yeast, and warm soy milk in a bowl; stir and set aside for a few minutes.

In another large bowl, add flour, sugar, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest.

Add the milk and yeast mixture and knead with a fork.

Add melted vegan butter and knead until smooth and elastic, adding as little flour as possible.

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 2 hours until it triples in volume.

Divide the dough into 8 balls and roll each ball into a rectangle about 1mm thick.

Spread chocolate cream over the rectangle and roll it lengthwise.

Cut the roll with a knife, leaving 1 cm at the top, and twist the two edges.

Place the twisted rolls on a baking sheet with parchment paper and let rise for about 40 minutes.

Brush the babka with plant milk and sugar before baking.

Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
