Chocolate Magic Shell Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped chocolate (semi-sweet, dark, or milk, or chocolate chips)
- 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil (measured solid)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate and Coconut Oil: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, combine the chocolate and coconut oil. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the melted mixture to cool for a few minutes until it’s no longer piping hot but still pourable.
- Drizzle Over Ice Cream: Pour the mixture over cold ice cream. Within seconds, it will harden into a glossy, crisp shell.
- Store the Magic Shell: Keep the chocolate shell in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month. If it hardens, gently microwave for a few seconds to liquefy before use again.
Notes
- Use refined coconut oil to avoid a coconut flavor; unrefined coconut oil will add a coconut taste.
- Any type of chocolate works: semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips or chopped bars.
- Store at room temperature; do not refrigerate as it can solidify too hard to use easily.
- Reheat briefly to re-liquefy if the shell hardens before use.
- Perfect for topping sundaes, frozen yogurt, or any cold dessert for a crunchy chocolate coating.
