Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I like mini, non-dairy chips)
  • 6 tbsp coconut cream (this is the cream from a can of full-fat coconut milk)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Open a can of organic coconut milk, scoop the cream, discard the water (or better save for smoothies)!  Place the coconut cream in a saucepan and melt over medium heat.

  2. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.  I like to use a glass mixing bowl.

  3. Pour the melted coconut cream over the chocolate chips to melt.  If they don't melt completely, you can put them in the microwave for a few seconds.  Mix the chocolate chips and coconut cream together until smooth.

  4. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. 

  5. You can use the ganache icing now or let sit for a few minutes.  As it sits, it gets slightly harder.  Use when it meets your consistency requirements.
