Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, creating a double boiler. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together, stirring frequently with a heat-safe spatula until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
If using vanilla extract, remove the bowl from heat and stir it in once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly.
Allow the chocolate sauce to cool at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before using. It should be liquid but not too hot to pour over cold ice cream.
Pour the sauce over your favorite scoop of ice cream and watch it magically harden into a crunchy shell within seconds.
Store leftover chocolate sauce in an airtight container at room temperature. If it solidifies, simply rewarm it gently before using.
