Chocolate Magic Shell Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips – semi-sweet, dark, or milk)
- 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil (measured solid)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, combine the chopped chocolate and solid refined coconut oil. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each to ensure the mixture becomes smooth and fully melted.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool for a few minutes so that it is not piping hot, but still pourable. This cooling step helps achieve the perfect glaze consistency.
- Drizzle Over Ice Cream: Pour the mixture over cold ice cream and wait a few seconds; the shell will harden quickly into a shiny, crisp coating that adds texture and flavor.
- Store Properly: Keep any leftover magic shell in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one month. If it solidifies, simply microwave for a few seconds to re-liquefy before use.
Notes
- You can use any type of chocolate: semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate, depending on your taste preference.
- Make sure to use refined coconut oil to avoid any coconut flavor that might interfere with the chocolate taste.
- The magic shell works best on cold ice cream for that perfect crisp shell effect.
- Store at room temperature to maintain the best consistency. Keeping it in the fridge may make it too hard to pour.
- If you don’t have a microwave, use a double boiler method on the stovetop to gently melt the ingredients.
