Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chunks or dark chocolate morsels
  • 1 cup coconut cream (use the solid/liquid from a refrigerated can)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate: Place the vegan chocolate chunks or dark chocolate morsels in a medium-sized heatproof bowl.
  2. Heat Coconut Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the entire can of coconut cream over medium heat. Stir occasionally to mix the solid and liquid parts until the cream is hot and just about to boil.
  3. Combine and Whisk: Pour 1 cup of the hot coconut cream over the chocolate pieces. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and continue whisking until the ganache is creamy and well combined.
  4. Optional Whipping: For a lighter, whipped texture, use an electric mixer on high speed to whip the ganache for about 2 minutes until fluffy.
  5. Storage: Transfer the ganache to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Use remaining coconut cream for soups or other recipes.

Notes

  • Use high-quality vegan or dark chocolate for best results.
  • Ensure the coconut cream is well mixed before heating to combine solids and liquids.
  • Ganache can be warmed gently for easier pouring or spreading.
  • Leftover ganache can be refrigerated and gently reheated before use.
  • This ganache is perfect for frosting cakes, dipping fruits, or as a drizzle over desserts.
