Chocolate Coconut Ganache Filling Recipe [Vegan/Non-dairy]

Chocolate Coconut Ganache Filling Recipe [Vegan/Non-dairy]

By Lisa Maliga, copyright 2018

My first chocolate ganache was made with a name brand of chocolate chips, ahem morsels, and was nice but not great. Ganache is all about the chocolate and the better quality the chocolate, the tastier your macarons will be. I’ve also learned that some people are either lactose intolerant, or they want to sell their macarons but can’t use any dairy products in the ganache. So, here’s a solution to that – a recipe that contains vegan and non-dairy ingredients. Chocolate and coconut are very compatible flavors and this is one of my favorite ganache recipes.

This original recipe is from the book Baking Macarons: The Swiss Meringue Method. 

The ingredients: organic virgin coconut oil, unsweetened coconut milk, coconut flavor, and Theo Coconut 70% Dark Chocolate

INGREDIENTS:

10 ounces dark chocolate, chopped Theo Coconut 70% Dark Chocolate contains toasted coconut and is recommended
5.46 ounces unsweetened coconut milk [1 small can]
1 Tablespoon virgin coconut oil
1-2 teaspoons coconut flavor or extract

INSTRUCTIONS:

Before opening the can of coconut milk, shake well. Place in a microwave-safe container. Heat until just starting to simmer, approximately one minute. Pour over chocolate. Add virgin coconut oil and let sit for a few minutes as the chocolate melts. Stir to combine.

Add coconut extract or flavor and whisk until fully incorporated. Let cool until thick but not hard.

Scoop into a piping bag.
