Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dairy-free dark chocolate
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Chop the dairy-free dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot coconut milk over the chopped chocolate, ensuring all the chocolate is submerged, and let it sit for 5 minutes without stirring.
After 5 minutes, gently stir the mixture with a whisk or spatula until smooth and glossy, incorporating the chocolate and coconut milk thoroughly.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, continuing to stir until everything is combined.
Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature if you need a pourable consistency or refrigerate it for a thicker, spreadable texture.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
