This simple vegan chocolate ganache frosting is thick and creamy, and it's great for putting on top of cupcakes, cakes, or any other dessert. Because it's made with coconut oil instead of dairy, it's a tasty swap that everyone will love.
Ingredients: 1 cup coconut oil. 1/2 cup cocoa powder. 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Pinch of salt.
Instructions: Melt the coconut oil over low heat in a small saucepan. Take it off the heat once it's melted, and then whisk in the cocoa powder until it's smooth. You can use agave nectar or maple syrup. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together with a whisk. Before you use the ganache to frost cakes or cupcakes, let it cool down a bit. It will get thicker as it cools down.

You can make these vegan giant ham and cheese arancini, which is a tasty take on the classic Italian dish. There are crunchy bits on the outside and creamy bits on the inside. They taste like vegan ham and cheese.
Ingredients: 4 cups cooked Arborio rice. 1 cup vegan ham, diced. 1 cup vegan cheese, shredded. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. 1/4 cup nutritional yeast. 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley. 1/4 cup almond milk. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. Oil for frying.
Instructions: Put cooked Arborio rice, vegan ham, vegan cheese, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, parsley, almond milk, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix everything together well. Make a ball out of a small amount of the mixture, making sure it's very compact. Do it again with the rest of the mixture. In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the oil to 350F 175C. Place the rice balls carefully into the hot oil, working in groups to keep them from getting too crowded. They should be fried for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Take the arancini out of the oil and let them drain on paper towels to get rid of the extra oil. Enjoy while hot!

Indulge in the delightful combination of rich chocolate cupcakes topped with creamy coconut frosting. These cupcakes are a perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients: 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour. 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar. 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 large eggs. 1 cup buttermilk. 1/2 cup vegetable oil. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. 1 cup boiling water. 1/2 cup shredded coconut for frosting. 1 cup unsalted butter for frosting. 4 cups powdered sugar for frosting. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for frosting. 3-4 tablespoons milk for frosting.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake pan with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that's okay. Pour the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the coconut frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, beating until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Stir in the shredded coconut into the frosting until well combined. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the coconut frosting using a piping bag or a spatula. Sprinkle some additional shredded coconut on top of the frosted cupcakes for decoration. Serve and enjoy your delicious chocolate cupcakes with coconut frosting!
