Food & Cooking Recipes Dessert & Treats Recipes Vegan Chocolate-Ganache Frosting 3.5 (2) Close Credit: Bryan Gardner Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins Yield: 2 cups Swapping coconut milk in for cream in a standard chocolate-ganache recipe yields a rich dairy-free topping. Because of the high ratio of coconut milk to chocolate, the frosting will take longer to thicken, but the decadent taste and airy texture are well worth the wait. Pair it with our Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes. Directions Place semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring coconut milk just to a boil; pour over chocolate. Let stand 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Let cool, stirring occasionally,until thick, about 2 hours. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days. Cook's Notes To speed up the process, refrigerate the frosting for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, instead of allowing it to thicken at room temperature.
