Bring the soy milk and syrup to a simmer. Chop both kinds of chocolate into small pieces and add to the soy milk mixture. Stir until the chocolate has melted. Remove from the heat. If the icing tends to separate, add a little more chocolate. When the mixture is smooth and of the desired consistency, stir in the vanilla. Yields: 3 1/2 cups of icing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : Ganache is a pourable icing. The traditional recipe calls for heavy cream and butter. This ganache uses more healthful ingredients but still has a rich, sweet, chocolate flavor. It is easy to make, easy to work with, versatile and delicious. When icing a cake, place the cake on a wire rack and slip a clean baking sheet beneath the rack. The baking sheet will catch the icing that drips from the cake; you can then collect the runoff and reuse it. You can also dip fresh fruit, dried fruit or confections in this ganache. Begin by heating a small amount of the ganache. When this runs low, add a little more. To avoid waste, try not to warm up more than you will use.
