How We Developed This Recipe

We wanted to create a simple ganache that delivered rich salted caramel flavor without requiring a long ingredient list or complicated caramel-making process.

Traditional ganache typically combines chocolate with heavy cream. For this vegan version, Let's Do…Organic Coconut Milk provides the creamy richness while Pascha Salted Caramel Baking Chips bring the chocolate and salted caramel flavor together in one ingredient.

Pouring hot coconut milk directly over the baking chips gently melts them without overheating the chocolate. After just one minute, everything stirs together into an incredibly smooth ganache that continues to thicken as it cools.

Two ingredients, one bowl, and endless ways to use it.

Ingredients

1 cup Pascha Salted Caramel Baking Chips
½ cup Organic Coconut Milk

Ingredient Breakdown

Pascha Salted Caramel Baking Chips

The star of this two-ingredient recipe, Pascha Salted Caramel Baking Chips provide rich caramel flavor and a creamy chocolate base without the need to make caramel from scratch.

Organic Coconut Milk

Canned coconut milk replaces traditional heavy cream, giving the ganache its smooth, rich consistency while keeping the recipe dairy-free and vegan.

How to Make 2 Ingredient Salted Caramel Ganache

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate

Place the Pascha Salted Caramel Baking Chips in a heatproof bowl and set aside.

Step 2: Heat the Coconut Milk

Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan.

Heat gently until it is just beginning to bubble. Avoid bringing it to a vigorous boil.

Step 3: Pour Over the Baking Chips

Immediately pour the hot coconut milk over the Pascha Salted Caramel Baking Chips.

Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 1 minute. This gives the hot coconut milk time to gently soften the baking chips.

Step 4: Stir Until Creamy

After one minute, slowly stir the mixture until the baking chips are completely melted and the ganache is smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Cool & Use

Allow the ganache to cool and thicken until it reaches your desired consistency.

Use while slightly warm for drizzling and dipping, or let it cool longer for a thicker, more spreadable ganache.

Pro Tips

Use canned coconut milk rather than refrigerated coconut milk for a richer consistency.
Don't boil the coconut milk—heat it only until it begins to bubble.
Let the hot coconut milk sit over the baking chips for a full minute before stirring.
Start stirring slowly from the center of the bowl to create a smooth ganache.
Remember that the ganache will continue to thicken as it cools.
For a pourable glaze, use the ganache while it's still slightly warm.
For frosting or filling, give it more time to cool and thicken.
