Dark Chocolate Ganache

Dark chocolate is full of healthy polyphenols, a delicious way to eat more anti-oxidant loaded foods. Anti-oxidants fight off free radicals and help to reduce overall inflammation in our bodies. Pair dark chocolate with coconut milk, full of medium chain triglycerides (MCT’s) and you have a smooth, creamy, healthy and nutritious ganache to serve. Our brains love MCT’s and thrive on healthy fats, using them as a source of energy. Eat this on a spoon, on a healthy, grain-free cookie or spread on fresh fruit for a healthy dessert.

Makes about 1 cup
