Notes
I was looking around for peppermint ganache recipes and found that most of them used heavy cream. I don’t usually have any of it around the house, so I looked for alternative recipes. I found one on Gluten Free Recipe Box that uses light coconut milk. I adapted it a little by adding more peppermint extract and a tiny bit of honey.
- Initially, I made the ganache without honey but found that it wasn’t sweet enough. After adding a tiny bit of honey, the flavor picked up instantly. The honey is completely optional.
