Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by placing 1½ cups of dairy-free chocolate chip chunks into a heat-safe bowl. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, pour in 1 cup of coconut cream and heat over medium heat until it just begins to boil, about 5-7 minutes.
Carefully pour the hot coconut cream over the bowl of chocolate chunks and let sit for about 2-3 minutes.
Whisk the mixture until fully melted and combined into a glossy and smooth ganache.
Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and whisk until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
Optional: Use a hand mixer to whisk the ganache on high for approximately 2 minutes for a fluffier texture.
Transfer the ganache into a piping bag or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
