Coconut Dark Chocolate Ganache Vegan Recipes

VEGAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Prepare the chocolate ganache. Add the chocolate to a mixing bowl.
• Heat the coconut cream to a simmer (you can do this either on a stove top or in the microwave, just be very careful if doing it in the microwave not to overheat and boil it over).
• Pour the simmering coconut cream over the chocolate pieces in the mixing bowl. Leave to sit for around a minute to melt, then mix it into a chocolate sauce.
• Place into the fridge to set. This will take a few hours (2-3 hours, you'll know it's set when you stick a knife into it and it's solid all the way down).
• When set, use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to scoop out even amounts of the ganache and drop it into the cocoa powder, then use your hands to roll it into a ball. The cocoa powder will stop it from sticking to your hands. Place the balls onto a parchment lined baking tray.
• When all the balls are rolled, place into the freezer to harden.
• Prepare the chocolate coating. When the balls are nice and hard, add the chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals bringing out to stir every 30-seconds until completely smooth and melted. Add in your coconut oil and stir in.
• Drop the balls into the chocolate one by one and use two teaspoons to manoeuvre the balls in the chocolate and back onto the parchment lined baking tray. Decorate with chocolate shavings.
• Return to the fridge for the chocolate to set and enjoy!

COCONUT DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE (VEGAN)

Steps:

• So easy! Pour coconut milk and a pinch of salt into a pan and on medium bring to just under a boil. In a bowl put the choc. chips and your essence or alcohol (if using). Pour the coconut milk on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until the choc is soft. Gently start to stir (the idea is not to get any air bubbles in it as they are hard to get rid off and will not look so spectacular when you are done. I made figure eights very slowly. Do this until it is all incorporated into the liquid. That's it! Ready to put on cake, cup cakes, use as a dip for fruit, whatever takes your fancy!
