There is one thing that makes chocolate desserts divine and gives them a fudgy essence and that is chocolate ganache!

I have a weakness for fudgy desserts with a whipped consistency like this fudgy avocado pudding and healthy dairy-free fudge. You know what I am talking about- the kind where you sink your teeth in, and it leaves gorgeous scrapes of teeth marks where the bite was taken. Ganache, when chilled after drizzling over cake for sure puts those marks into treats! It is so rich and creamy and satisfying. Yep, that is chocolate ganache for ya😉.

What is Ganache

Ganache is a glaze, icing or sauce made of chocolate and cream that is used to fill pastries, top on cakes and is used in place of icing.

The consistency of dairy free chocolate ganache is the same as one made with dairy, and despite using coconut cream there is no “coconut” taste.

Dairy-Free Chocolate Ganache: Ingredients

Just three simple ingredients:
1. Dairy-Free and Vegan Chocolate Chip Chunks or Morsels.
2. Coconut Cream – in a can.
3. Vanilla extract for a bit a flaavva!!!

How to make chocolate ganache without dairy

First add the chocolate chunks or dark chocolate morsels to a heat-safe bowl. Then heat the entire can of coconut cream (both the liquid and solid) on high and bring it to almost a boil. Some of it will be left over and can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator. As soon as the coconut cream is heated to almost a boil, pour 1 cup of it over the chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is melted, then add in the vanilla.

How to use chocolate ganache as frosting

Add the prepared chocolate ganache to a piping bag with a decorative tip. Place it in a sealed baggie so the tip does not dry out. Set in the refrigerator to chill and harden for a few hours or 1 week.

When ready, pipe the icing over your favorite baked goods such as cupcakes, brownies and cookies.

How to make whipped chocolate ganache

Using a hand-held mixer or electric mixer, turn it to high speed and whisk the chocolate ganache for 2 minutes until fluffy.
