Equipment

  • microwave oven

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk only use the fat portion - see notes
  • 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Scoop out the fat portion from the top layer of a can of coconut milk. You can more easily achieve this by putting the can in the fridge for a few hours to solidify the fat.
  • Heat the coconut fat in a microwave or stovetop till very hot - even just boiling.
  • Put the chocolate chips in a small/medium bowl and pour the heated coconut milk over the top.
  • In a couple of minutes, the chocolate chips will have begun to melt. Stir together until all melted and the chocolate is nice and glossy.
  • Add the vanilla and stir in.
  • Allow to cool for at least an hour before pouring onto a cake. I often stick mine in the fridge for a while.

Notes

Make sure to use the full fat coconut milk and skim off the top creamy fat layer for best results.
