If you want a quick and easy, but still very tasty, topping for ice cream or cake, here’s a simple carob ganache recipe. If you like things a little sweeter, add a little more monk fruit powder.
Heat in a small saucepan:
1/2 cup non-dairy milk of choice
Put in a small bowl:
1 cup unsweetened carob chips
1 teaspoon monk fruit powder
It only takes a minute to heat up the milk. When it is hot, pour it over the chips. Stir vigorously for a couple of minutes to melt the chips and incorporate the milk. Add:
1 tablespoon vanilla
Stir to combine. Your ganache is ready. Use quickly as it will harden up in just a few minutes. To use as “Hot Fudge Sauce” simply increase the milk to 3/4 cup.
I was born and raised in central New Hampshire but have also lived in Boston; Tempe, Arizona; Pittsfield, Massachusetts; and Derry, New Hampshire before moving to Edina, Minnesota in 2019 after my husband died. I'm a retired archivist, worked for the Arizona State Archives and the National Archives and Records Administration. Began cooking at age 4, learned to read reading a cookbook. As a teenager, I often cooked family meals as my mother was busy correcting papers or doing class preparations for the next day.
Began developing food allergies at menopause and the number has grown over the last several decades.
