Description
This homemade magic shell topping recipe adds a perfect chocolatey crunch to your favorite scoop of ice cream!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup (6 oz/170 grams) semisweet or dark chocolate chips (Dairy-Free, Vegan, or Paleo As Needed)
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
Instructions
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil.Next, microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring well between each one. (I recommend a lower power setting (like MELT or DEFROST) if you have one for extra caution.)
-
Melt until the chocolate has just a few tiny bumps of chocolate chips left and stir until the residual heat from the chocolate has melted them.
-
The chocolate sauce should be totally smooth and glossy.
-
Add flavors if you want. If you’re adding any mix-ins (like salt, vanilla, peppermint extract, etc.) stir those in at this point.
-
Transfer to a jar & let it cool a minute or two so it doesn’t instantly melt the ice cream. I transfer mine to a jar for easy storage and pouring.
-
Pour over ice cream or frozen treats and watch it harden! It’ll only take a minute or so!
Notes
Can I Make Other Flavors of Chocolate Shell? You bet! It all kind of depends on the chocolate you use. Our homemade magic shell recipe will work with semi-sweet, milk, dark, and white chocolate. You can also add 1/4 tsp. of vanilla or 1/8-1/4 tsp. peppermint extract to the melted chocolate shell to add more flavor.
