Ingredients

200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
60 ml Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and coconut oil together using a double boiler on the stovetop. Stir until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. It should still be in liquid form but not overly hot.

Step 5

Pour the Magic Shell over cold ice cream and watch it harden within seconds to create a crunchy shell.

Step 6

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.
