🛒 Ingredients

8 servings

8
  • 7 oz (200 g) dark chocolate, 50% cocoa
  • 1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
  • ¾ cup (200 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¾ cup (200 ml) coconut milk
  • 1 pinch of flaky sea salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it gently in a saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

  2. 2

    Once the chocolate is completely smooth, gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring continuously.

  3. 3

    Add the condensed milk and coconut milk, then stir vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is glossy and uniform.

  4. 4

    Stir in the pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavour.

  5. 5

    Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate for 25 to 30 minutes before using as a filling or topping.

💡 Chef's Tip

For an even silkier finish, use couverture chocolate. The ganache keeps for up to 5 days in a sealed container in the fridge.
