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
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Pour the hot coconut milk mixture over the chopped chocolate, ensuring all the chocolate is submerged.
Step 4
Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes to let the chocolate melt thoroughly.
Step 5
After resting, add the vanilla extract and gently stir the mixture until it is smooth, shiny, and fully incorporated.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Use the ganache immediately for a drizzling consistency, or let it thicken before using as needed for your specific dessert.
