Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Place the chocolate, coconut oil, and maple syrup into a microwave-safe bowl and stir to combine. Cook on high in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds to be sure the chocolate doesn’t burn. Alternatively, you can combine the ingredients on low on the stovetop.
    A bowl filled with chocolate chips and whipped cream.
  • Use a spatula to transfer the mixture into a piping bag (with a 1/16"-1/8" tip) or gallon-sized bag. Place the piping bag into the freezer for 5-10 minutes until it cools and becomes a bit more firm.

  • If using a gallon-sized bag, trim the end of a gallon bag. Start off by trimming a tiny hole. If the hole is too big, the chocolate chips will be too big. Adjust the opening if needed. Pipe the vegan chocolate chips onto the lined baking sheets.

  • Transfer baking sheets into the freezer and let harden for about 30 minutes.
  • The chips should easily be removed from the parchment paper. Store in a small, air-tight container in the freezer.

Notes

  • Yields: 1 heaping cup
  • The maple syrup can be replaced with agave syrup. Start with 2 tablespoons and then determine if the chocolate needs to be sweeter.
