In a small saucepan, gently warm the coconut cream over low heat. Do not allow it to boil—just heat it until it's slightly warm to the touch.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately whisk in the coconut oil until fully melted and combined with the coconut cream.
Using a fine mesh sieve, sift the raw cacao powder into the warm coconut mixture. This prevents lumps and ensures the ganache is smooth and creamy.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until the ganache is glossy and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Let the ganache cool slightly before using it as a glaze, a filling, or a dip. To thicken it into a frosting-like consistency, let it rest at room temperature or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow to come to room temperature before using again for the best texture.
