2
Heat the cream with the coconut oil until just about to boil and pour over the chocolate. Wait a minute without touching.
StoveSmall saucepan

Stir gently from the center outward, until you get a smooth, glossy cream.
💡Stir gently from the center outward: vigorous stirring beats in air, and the ganache loses its shine.
4
Add the honey, salt and vanilla and stir.
5
Cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then in the fridge for 1 hour, until the spread thickens.
6
Transfer to an airtight jar and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
