Ready in under 10 minutes, this effortless recipe mimics the iconic chocolate coating we all love, without any added preservatives or artificial ingredients.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the mixture on medium power in 20-30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total. Avoid overheating to prevent burning the chocolate.
Once melted, allow the sauce to cool for 2-3 minutes at room temperature. This ensures it isn’t too hot when poured over ice cream.
Drizzle the sauce over your favorite ice cream. Within a few seconds, it will harden into a glossy, crisp shell.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To reuse, microwave in short intervals and stir until smooth.
