Notes

You need to use full fat coconut milk. A lite coconut milk won’t work as there’s too much liquid. Basically, you want one that when placed in the fridge overnight, has a thick, cream and is not liquid (also called coconut cream)
Make sure to drain the extra water out of the coconut milk can. You want the thick, white cream only.
Use dry instruments. Having water in the bottom of your pot or bowl can ruin the chocolate ganache.
The ganache does firm up and becomes much more fudge-like in the fridge. If you have a layer spread onto a cake it will harden more like a glaze.
To reuse the ganache, let it sit at room temperature and then heat it on the stove slowly, over low heat until melted fully.
Makes roughly ½ cup of chocolate and one serving is 1.5 tbs
