Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/3 cups full fat coconut milk or
  • 1 pint vegan ice cream hazelnut is traditional but I used bittersweet chocolate and mocha flavors
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder

Instructions
 

  • Remove ice cream from freezer and let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften.
  • Pour coconut milk or coconut cream into a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until it begins to simmer.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add chocolate chips to and let stand for 1-2 minutes. Once the chocolate melts, whisk until smooth.
  • Pour into a heat-resistant bowl and set aside to cool and slightly solidify.
  • Shape the ice cream in a silicone mold (or a small bowl), pressing it gently against the edges of the mold in order to take its shape.
  • Press a thumb-sized hole halfway into the depth of the ice cream and fill it with ½ tsp of cooled ganache
  • Spread a layer of ice cream over it to seal the shape and the ganache inside.
  • Freeze for at least 3 hours or until the ice cream is again solidified
  • When ready to serve, remove the mold from the freezer and invert the mold onto a plate, placing the shaped ice cream
  • Place a small strainer above the plated ice cream and pour in the cacao powder, dusting the ice cream as desired to decorate.
  • Enjoy!
