Description

This homemade magic shell topping recipe adds a perfect chocolatey crunch to your favorite scoop of ice cream!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Cup (6 oz/170 grams) semisweet or dark chocolate chips (Dairy-Free, Vegan, or Paleo As Needed)
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil

Instructions

  1. 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.)

  2. 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.

  3. The chocolate sauce should be totally smooth and glossy.

  4. Add flavors if you want. If you’re adding any mix-ins (like salt, vanilla, peppermint extract, etc.) stir those in at this point.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
