To add a chocolate ganache, you simply need a bag of chocolate chips and a can of coconut cream. The night before, put a can of coconut cream in the refrigerator. This helps separate the cream from the coconut water. Once the coconut cream is chilled, scoop out the firm cream, leaving behind the coconut water in the can. Use the double boiler method to melt the chocolate chips and coconut cream. Once chocolate is smooth and melted (you can whisk to help it along), drizzle chocolate ganache on top of almond shortbread cookies. Let the chocolate cool completely before serving.

 

Cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
