Total Time 7 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces chocolate (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Storage container
  • Ice cream scooper

Method
 

  1. Gather all the ingredients and tools you’ll need. Make sure you have your chocolate chopped and your coconut oil measured out.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave.
  3. Once melted, give the mixture a good stir to ensure that the coconut oil is fully incorporated and the chocolate is glossy and smooth.
  4. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes before using. It should still be pourable but not steaming hot, as this will help it adhere better to the ice cream.
  5. Scoop your favorite ice cream into a bowl. Drizzle the warm Magic Shell over the ice cream and watch the magic happen as it hardens into a delicious shell!
  6. If you have any Magic Shell leftover, pour it into a storage container and let it cool completely before sealing. Store it in the refrigerator, and when you’re ready to use it again, simply reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds until pourable.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Store Magic Shell in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to use again.
