Chocolate Ganache

I got this recipe from one of my favorite vegan cookbooks, Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites. It's super easy to make and great for when you want a little something sweet on top of muffins or cupcakes but don't want a whole bunch of frosting. It thickens in the fridge and is quite delectable just eaten with a spoon. I halved the original recipe as a little goes a long way but adjust the quantity as needed.

Chocolate Ganache

1/4 cup non-dairy milk
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
1 Tbls. maple syrup (the real stuff, not the corn syrup stuff)

In a small pot, scorch the milk over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted.

When the chips are fully incorporated, stir in the maple syrup. If using immediately, let cool for a few minutes. Store covered in the fridge.
