Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare double boiler: Fill a pan with simmering water and place a stainless steel bowl or small pot on top, making sure it doesn’t touch the water. This gentle heat prevents chocolate from scorching.
  2. Melt chocolate and coconut oil: Add the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil to the bowl. Stir frequently with a fork every 20-30 seconds until fully melted and smooth, ensuring the coconut oil is thoroughly mixed in.
  3. Cool mixture slightly: Remove the bowl from the heat and set it aside to cool a little but keep it warm enough to drizzle easily.
  4. Drizzle over ice cream: Scoop your favorite ice cream into bowls. Drizzle the warm Magic Shell over the ice cream and watch it harden instantly to form a crisp shell.
  5. Store leftovers: Pour any remaining Magic Shell into an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to one year.

Notes

  • Use high-quality semisweet chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Coconut oil is crucial for the shell to harden quickly; do not substitute with other oils.
  • If the shell becomes too thick to drizzle, gently warm it again to restore its liquid consistency.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly.
  • Store the Magic Shell away from heat and direct sunlight to maintain its quality.
