Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Magic Shell
- 1 cup chopped chocolate (semi-sweet, dark, or milk) or chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil (measured solid)
Instructions
- Melt the Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, combine the chocolate and coconut oil. If microwaving, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the melted chocolate and coconut oil mixture to cool for a few minutes so it is not piping hot but remains pourable.
- Drizzle Over Ice Cream: Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over cold ice cream. Within seconds, it will harden and form a glossy, crisp shell.
- Store Properly: Keep the magic shell in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one month. If it hardens, simply microwave it for a few seconds before using it again to liquefy the mixture.
Notes
- Use refined coconut oil to avoid a strong coconut flavor and maintain a neutral chocolate taste.
- The shell hardens best when poured onto very cold ice cream.
- You can mix different types of chocolate to customize sweetness and flavor, such as combining dark and milk chocolate.
- Store the magic shell away from heat and light to maintain quality.
