Equipment

Microwave safe container
Small whisk
Measuring cup

Ingredients

1 cup vegan dark chocolate chunks I used the chocolate chunks from Enjoy Life
1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk unsweetened

Instructions

Add the coconut milk and chocolate chunks to a microwave-safe glass container, then warm up for 1-2 minutes. You want the mixture to be very hot, but not simmer it. Remove it from the microwave once it starts to bubble, then let it sit on the counter for another 1-2 minutes.
Whisk well until uniform, which can take a minute.
You can use it right away as a warm and thin chocolate sauce, or transfer to the fridge for a thicker chocolate ganache. You can check on the ganache after 1 hour, but it might take 2 hours to reach the desired consistency.

Notes

Do not overheat the mixture for the best consistency. Just make sure it does not bubble too much or simmer while heating up, you don't want to "cook the chocolate".

Let the mix rest before stirring, this will give more time for the chocolate chips to melt properly and help not have lumps.

➡️ If your ganache is too thin, then add extra chocolate chips, warm up again to melt the chocolate and place in the fridge to let it set. If you know ahead of time that you will want a thick ganache, then you can use 1 cup of chocolate chips + ¾ cup (instead of 1 cup) of coconut milk. Make sure to also completely cool down in the fridge for a thicker result.

➡️ If your ganache is too thick, then you can simply warm up slightly to loosen the mixture and enjoy it right away or whisk in extra coconut milk.

➡️ If your ganache is lumpy, then simply reheat it for a few seconds and whisk again to allow all the chocolate chips to melt.
