Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over a low heat. It won't take long for the oil to melt because it has a low melting point, melting at 76 degrees F (24 degrees C).
  • Turn the heat off and stir in the cocoa powder and maple syrup. Optionally, blend in the salt and vanilla.
  • Let the ganache cool to room temperature, or to speed things up, place the saucepan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon or drizzle the ganache over your breakfast treat. Let it cool at room temperature for 5 minutes or so, or refrigerate until ready to devour.
  • Store the ganache in the refrigerator for a few weeks. Reheat on a low heat to use it again.
