Notes
Dark chocolate: use the best quality vegan chocolate possible. I use dark chocolate that has 70% cocoa.
Soy milk: you could also use almond milk or dairy milk if you do not require the recipe to be vegan.
Tablespoon: we use a standard Australian tablespoon which is 20 ml (4 teaspoons).
Coconut yoghurt: if you do not require the recipe to be vegan, you can also use Greek yoghurt.
