VEGAN GINGER COCONUT CHOCOLATE BARK
IF YOU LOVE GINGER, then you are going to want to make this incredible 5 Ingredient Ginger Chocolate Coconut Bark immediately! I’m not exaggerating one bit. The taste is sublime and the texture is so creamy and rich. Totally better than anything I buy at the store.
I go crazy for anything ginger, as I love it even more than chocolate. So, I especially love the holidays to break out all the vegan holiday desserts. Not only is this a festive homemade vegan chocolate, it makes a great gift, too!
Tip: Let the chocolate cool and firm up at room temperature instead of the fridge if giving as gifts. This will help the color stay shiny. Going from melted chocolate to cold temperatures quickly can make the chocolate form a white, dusty look by the next day. This is called chocolate bloom. It is when the cocoa butter or the sugar rises to the top of the surface. It still tastes amazing and is totally safe, it just doesn’t look as pretty.
It is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, easy, and quick. What’s not to love?

Vegan Ginger Coconut Chocolate Bark
Ingredients
- 1 cup (160g) bittersweet dark chocolate chips (69-72%)
- 1/2 cup (80g) semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup (20g) unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger
- I use this scale.
Instructions
- Add the chocolates to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 60 seconds. Stir well and heat another 20 seconds. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Be very careful about overheating the chocolate or it'll burn.
- Stir in the ginger until completely mixed in.
- Line a pan with parchment paper and pour the chocolate onto it in the center. Spread the chocolate out into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle the coconut and ginger on top of the chocolate. Use the back of a spoon to gently press the toppings into the chocolate.
- Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or the fridge for an hour to set it quickly or so until firm and set. If you want the chocolate to retain it's dark brown color best the next day, then let it firm up at room temperature, as opposed to the fridge. Slice into desired shapes and enjoy!

I LOVE ginger, and never even thought to combine it with dark chocolate! I love the strong, rich flavor of the bittersweet chocolate, and the texture that the coconut and candied ginger give it. This is a fabulous treat!
