Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk, full-fat
- 200 g Dark chocolate, vegan-friendly
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water and stir until it forms a smooth paste. Set aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, pour in the coconut milk and add the maple syrup and salt.
Stir occasionally as the coconut milk mixture heats up until it begins to simmer slightly, but do not let it boil.
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Lower the heat and add the cornstarch paste to the saucepan, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once thickened to a creamy consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Transfer the chocolate cream to serving bowls or glasses.
Allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your dairy-free decadent chocolate cream!
