Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (refined or unrefined)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take approximately 1 to 2 minutes total.
Alternatively, melt the mixture on the stovetop using a double boiler: place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
Once melted, let the mixture cool for about 2-3 minutes but do not let it harden.
Pour the magic shell topping over a scoop of ice cream or your favorite frozen dessert. Watch as it hardens almost instantly to form a crunchy shell.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat gently before using if it solidifies.
