- 8 ounces dairy-free dark chocolate
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dairy-free dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot coconut milk over the chopped chocolate, ensuring all the chocolate is submerged, and let it sit for 5 minutes without stirring.
Step 4
After 5 minutes, gently stir the mixture with a whisk or spatula until smooth and glossy, incorporating the chocolate and coconut milk thoroughly.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, continuing to stir until everything is combined.
Step 6
Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature if you need a pourable consistency or refrigerate it for a thicker, spreadable texture.
Step 7
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
