Coconut Chocolate Ganache - Recipe

      Typically a ganache is made from chocolate and cream.  I found it is just as wonderful made with chocolate and a full fat coconut milk.  The recipe below is simple and can be used to cover or fill cakes, tarts, cupcakes, or anything where you want to use a ganache.

     You can control the sweetness of the ganache by choosing different kinds of chocolate.  A milk chocolate is sweeter than a dark.  I use dark chocolate chips with 69% cacao.

Coconut Chocolate Ganache

(Frosts 2 9-inch Cake Rounds)

14 oz. Dark Chocolate Chips

13 1/2 oz. Can Organic Full Fat Coconut Milk

Place chocolate in a mixing bowl.  Heat coconut milk in a sauce pan on medium low heat just until the first simmering bubbles appear.  Immediately pour over chocolate.  The heat will melt the chocolate.  Whisk till smooth and shiny.  Let cool to lukewarm.  Spread on cake rounds.
