Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1 cup coconut cream from two cans - see notes
  • ¼ cup plant milk
  • 1 Tablespoon refined coconut oil
  • ½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Do not shake or stir your cans of coconut milk. Spoon out one cup of coconut cream from the top layer of two cans of coconut milk (full-fat). Discard or save the liquid part for another time.
  • In a medium-size bowl mix the chocolate chips and the coconut oil and mix well.
  • Add the bowl to the microwave in increments of 30 seconds and stir every time. Heat for a total of 1-2 minutes until the chocolate is melted.
  • Add the coconut cream (only the white cream part, just make sure not to shake or stir your can), milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and whisk until well combined.
  • Cover up the bowl and place in the fridge for2-3 hours or until it has hardened a little bit.
  • You can serve this with strawberries, pretzels,marshmallows, etc. Heat and serve over ice cream.

Notes

This recipe calls for one cup of coconut cream. I use two 14.5 ounce cans and spoon the top layer from each. This will yield at least one cup. Discard the rest or save to use later. I freeze mine in ice cube trays and use in smoothies. Yum! 
Serving size is one-fourth cup.
