Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher, dairy-free)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, honey, and a pinch of salt. Warm over medium-low heat until it begins to steam and small bubbles form along the edge. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot coconut milk mixture over the chopped chocolate, ensuring all the chocolate is submerged.
Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes to let the chocolate melt thoroughly.
After resting, add the vanilla extract and gently stir the mixture until it is smooth, shiny, and fully incorporated.
Let the ganache cool at room temperature before using it as a topping, or cool it in the refrigerator if a thicker consistency is desired for dipping or piping.
Use the ganache immediately for a drizzling consistency, or let it thicken before using as needed for your specific dessert.
