Ingredients

• 1 cup Coconut milk, full-fat
• 8 ounces Vegan dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chopped vegan dark chocolate or chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the full-fat coconut milk over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.

Step 3

Pour the hot coconut milk over the chocolate in the bowl. Let it sit undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

Step 4

After the resting period, begin to stir the mixture slowly, starting from the center and working your way outward, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and, if desired, the maple syrup to add a touch of sweetness.

Step 6

Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature. For a thicker consistency, refrigerate it for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Once the ganache reaches your desired consistency, use it to glaze, frost, or fill your favorite vegan desserts.
