Lively Life’s Mission
Chocolate Frosting that is actually healthy and good for your gut. That’s what Lively Life baking and cooking is all about. What if you could eat and everything you ate was actually good for you. That’s what we are doing here. Our bodies need nutrients, vitamins and minerals, as well as phytonutrients (think the rainbow in colors, each color has different phytonutrients), these nutrients are used by your cells, hormones (think body messagers) and every function the body, organs, and cells need to do in order for us to function everyday. What you eat matters, what your body digest matters even more.
Please enjoy this Chocolate Ganache for your chocolate or other cakes, add to breads or cupcakes, or just eat as a snack with nuts, coconut flakes, by itself, or even better – add with plain yogurt.
MELT THE CHOCOLATE
Here I use the double boiler method using an Anchor thick glass medium or large measuring cup in a pot with water. I like this method cause it’s quick and I don’t burn the chocolate.
Microwave option – use the bursts suggested by The Kitchn – that suggests to use 30 sec intervals then mix, then 30 sec and mix, is it melted or do you need the third 30 sec interval of microwave cooking then mix.
Whisk in the Coconut Cream
Wow this is simple – chocolate melted, now whisk in coconut cream. If you like a little salt, add a pinch.
FRIDGE to Set the Chocolate Ganache
Below in these pictures I show the difference with, if you are in a hurry the 1 hour Chocolate Ganache will be runny frosting. If you can wait for overnight in the fridge or at least 4 hours it will be thicker. The next two pictures are overnight in the fridge and two nights over night in the fridge. Above you can see how thick it looked in my container after overnight.
