Description

Chocolate Magic Shell is a quick and delightful topping that hardens instantly when poured over cold desserts like ice cream. Made with just two ingredients, it delivers a satisfying crunch and rich chocolate flavor that elevates any sweet treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (refined or unrefined)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
  2. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Let it cool slightly before using.
  4. Pour over ice cream or frozen treats and watch it harden into a crunchy shell within seconds.
  5. Store any leftover magic shell in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat gently if it solidifies.

Notes

  • Use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor, or unrefined for a hint of coconut.
  • This works great with white or milk chocolate too—adjust sweetness as needed.
  • Make it fancy by adding a pinch of sea salt, cinnamon, or a few drops of peppermint extract.
