With only 2 ingredients, this Chocolate Ganache recipe is as simple as can be. All you need to make it is dark chocolate and coconut milk. I’ve been making this dairy-free dessert topping for years and the boys absolutely love it!
Traditional chocolate ganache is made with chocolate and heavy cream. My dairy-free Chocolate Ganache recipe uses coconut milk instead of heavy cream. I haven’t tried making Chocolate Ganache with other types of dairy-free milk so I’m not sure if that will work. If you do find a substitute, please leave a comment and let us know about it!

I love using this vegan Chocolate Ganache on baked goods. When cooled it firms up and hardens into a chocolate shell type topping. The boys and their friends love my Paleo Caramel Brownies which use this incredible topping along with my Vegan Caramel Sauce loaded on top of my Paleo Brownies.
Drizzle this velvety dairy-free topping over these dairy-free dessert recipes:

I used coconut/almond blend (Silk Brand) with Baker’s Chocolate. Delicious, texture is a bit gritty. I am wondering how long is it good? Does it spoil?
Elana says
Marey, mine lasts around 3 days in the fridge. Thanks for your comment!

eleni says
When you say coconut milk are you referring to canned coconut, the cooking kind or the carton drinking kind?
Elana says
Eleni, thanks for your question. Just click on the green text in the ingredients portion of the recipe for that info :-)

I just made this with pure coconut milk from the can which is 17 to 19% milk fat and it’s unsweetened. I also used semi sweet chocolate chips. I stuck my finger in and it tastes really good so I’m hoping that it firms up nicely for my chocolate cake :-)
Elana says
Thanks Gwen!

Have you ever added almond butter to this ganache recipe? If so how much? Thanks!
Elana says
Ash, I haven’t tried that. If you do experiment please let us know how it goes :-)
