Vegan Chocolate Ganache

vegan chocolate chips chocolate bars (about 1 cup)

full fat coconut milk or cream

Add chocolate chips to a medium sized bowl. If using chocolate bars, chop and place in the bowl.

Scoop the thick white part from the can of coconut if it&#039;s naturally separated. Try to use mostly the thick white coconut cream, but some of the clearer liquid is fine. A can of coconut cream works best.

Put the coconut milk in a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup and heat in the microwave for about 1 minute, watching to make sure it doesn’t bubble over.

Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Don&#039;t stir yet.

After 2-3 minutes, whisk the chocolate/melted coconut milk until smooth. To use as a frosting let it cool completely first, it will thicken up and become spreadable. To make it runnier, you can warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute before using, such as for pancakes, cupcakes, or as a drizzle on a cake.

Step by step guide to making the best vegan chocolate ganache. Just 2 easy ingredients and so many delicious ways to use it!

(340 grams) Chopped Vegan Chocolate*

Chop up vegan chocolate and add it to a bowl. 

Scoop the hardened cream from a can of chilled coconut cream into a microwave safe measuring jug. Microwave in intervals until it reaches a gentle simmer. Don&#8217;t let it come to a boil, just a gentle simmer. If you don&#8217;t have a microwave then bring it to a simmer on the stovetop. 

Pour it over the top of the chopped chocolate in the bowl, making sure that all the chocolate is covered with the hot coconut cream. Put a tea towel over the bowl to trap the heat and let it sit for 1 minute.  Then remove the tea towel and use a hand whisk to whisk it into a smooth chocolate sauce. 

Let it cool on the counter until room temperature and then use right away as a chocolate sauce or dip or drizzle. 

If you want to use it as a frosting or something else that requires a firm ganache then place it into the fridge for two hours until thickened and cool. It will become the consistency of nutella. 

Stir it up and then use immediately to pipe onto cupcakes or spread onto cakes.

Vegan Chocolate & Raspberry Tart

shortcrust pastry

250 g (8.8 oz) dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa solids), chopped

200 g (¾ cup + 2 tbsp) Nature's Charm Evaporated Coconut Milk

150 g (½ cup) Nature's Charm Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk

raspberries

cocoa powder

130 g (½ cup) Nature's Charm Coconut Whipping Cream, chilled overnight

powdered/icing sugar

chocolate shavings or curls

Prepare one batch of the vegan shortcrust pastry as per the recipe and fully blind bake it until deep golden brown (at 350ºF/180ºC, first for 15 minutes with the pie weights and then for 10-15 minutes uncovered).You can find the full recipe for the pastry and my top tips for making and blind baking it here.

Once blind baked, allow the tart shell to cool completely in the tart tin, then set aside until needed.

For vegan shortcrust pastry:

Place the chopped chocolate into a heat-proof bowl.

In a saucepan, combine the Nature&#39;s Charm Evaporated Coconut Milk and Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk, and cook them over medium heat with occasional stirring until well combined and the mixture only just comes to a boil.

Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate and allow to stand for 2-3 minutes. Then, stir it together until the chocolate has fully melted and you get a glossy, smooth chocolate ganache. Set aside until needed.

Arrange the fresh raspberries in an even layer on the bottom of the cooled, blind baked tart shell.

Pour the chocolate filling over the raspberries.Tip: The raspberries tend to cluster together in places after the filling has been poured over them. While the filling is still runny, you can nudge them around to get them more evenly distributed within the tart.

Allow the chocolate filling to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours, then chill in the fridge overnight – this allows it to set completely and with minimal condensation forming on top.

For vegan chocolate &amp; raspberry tart:

After the tart has chilled in the fridge overnight, remove it from the tart tin onto a serving platter or plate of choice.

Lightly dust the surface of the filling with cocoa powder.

In a bowl, whip the Nature&#39;s Charm Coconut Whipping Cream with the powdered/icing sugar until firm peaks form.Tip: Make sure to chill the Coconut Whipping Cream overnight before using it, as that stabilises it and makes it much easier to whip.

Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle, then pipe dollops of cream around the edge of the tart (see blog post for photos).

Decorate with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings, before slicing and serving.Tip: For extra neat and clean slices, cut the tart with a warm/hot knife. Choose a sharp knife and dip it into very hot water. Wipe it dry, then slice the tart while the knife is still hot/warm. In between slices, dip the knife again in hot water, wipe it off and repeat.
