Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 60 ml Coconut oil
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your microwave.
Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and coconut oil together using a double boiler on the stovetop. Stir until smooth and evenly combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. It should still be in liquid form but not overly hot.
Pour the Magic Shell over cold ice cream and watch it harden within seconds to create a crunchy shell.
Store any leftover Magic Shell in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month. Reheat in short bursts in the microwave or in a warm water bath to return it to liquid form before using.
