Chocolate Ganache Recipe

So easy and silky smooth – a dairy free delight.

Whether you need a quick choc fix or an impressive chocolate sauce, here it is.

Equipment:  Big bowl and a whisk

Ingredients:
10 Tbs Cacao Powder
6 Tbs Agave Syrup
1 teaspoon coconut oil, sesame oil, or other light unflavoured oil on hand
1/2 vanilla bean (optional)
fine sea salt to taste



Add the first 3 ingredients to the bowl and begin mixing with the whisk – cut the vanilla bean in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds inside, add them to the choc mix, keep mixing. Taste this as you go along, it’s pretty good – now here’s the magic – add just a little salt and taste again to see how the flavour changes – the salt really balances and grounds the sweet sweetness of the agave – you just have to experience this, so go do it!

Use the ganache as a filling, a topping, an icing, a drizzle, chocmilk base, slather it on anything!
