Vegan chocolate ganache.  Now THAT is some gourmet sounding stuff right there.  Luckily, this velvety and chocolatey heaven lives up to its decadent name. 

According to Wikipedia:

“Ganache is a glaze, icing, sauce, or filling for pastries made from chocolate and cream. Ganache is normally made by heating cream, then pouring it over chopped chocolate of any kind.” 

 

Well, guess what, YOU DON’T NEED CREAM! You can easily make vegan chocolate ganache in under 5 minutes.  I think it took me less time to make it than it took me to figure out how to pronounce it 😉

All things considered, I simply like to call it velvety chocolate heaven. 

Ganache is basically a spreadable, dippable, drip-able, pourable, chocolate sauce that hardens at room temperature or refrigerated.  It makes a delicious pastry filling, is great on cakes, cookies, ice cream, can be adapted to make truffles, and much more.
