Open the chilled can of coconut milk without shaking it. Scoop out the thick coconut cream into a microwave-safe bowl, leaving the clear liquid behind. You should have about 1 cup of coconut cream. |

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add the dairy-free dark chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. |
