VEGAN CHOCOLATE-GANACHE FROSTING
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.

RAW VEGAN CHOCOLATE GANACHE
This recipe is slightly different from the one already up on Zaar and is from Jennifer Cornbleet's Raw For Dessert. Raw Chocolate Ganache can be used in a number of ways including as chocolate fondue, icing for raw cakes, fudge sauce for raw sundaes or just straight out of the blender! The coconut oil gives it a wonderful coconut flavor. The book says it will last in the fridge for 2 weeks. Once refrigerated, you will have to warm the ganache to obtain the proper consistency. You can either place a small bowl of ganache in about inches of warm water or pop it in the dehydrator for about 10 minutes. **Use either one of these techniques to melt the coconut oil for use in this recipe.** www.bellaraw.blogspot.com

Tips:
- For a richer ganache, use a dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content.
- If you don't have coconut cream, you can make your own by blending 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut with 1/4 cup of water until smooth.
