Servings: 10
Cost: 1.50
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ Cup Chocolate Chips
- 3-4 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Put chocolate chips and 3 Tablespoons coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave on high in 20-30 second intervals mixing after each interval. It will take 1 ½-2 minutes total.
- The chocolate should be thin enough to drizzle over ice cream. Add additional Tablespoon of coconut oil if the chocolate if needed.
- Drizzle over ice cream. Magic Shell will harden over ice cream in 30-60 seconds.
- Store leftovers at room temperature in a microwave safe container.
Notes
- If the Magic Shell Hardens While Storing - Reheat in the microwave using 20 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted.
- Make Dairy Free Magic Shell – The Enjoy Life Brand of Chocolate Chips is dairy free.
- Scale the Recipe Up or Down – Adjust the chocolate chips and coconut oil to make more or less Magic Shell. It’s about 3 Tablespoons per cup of chocolate chips.
- Try Other Oils – Try Vegetable Oil or Butter if you don’t have coconut oil. I have not tried these oils but experimenting with food is part of the fun when cooking and making new recipes.
- Use Refined Coconut Oil – If you don’t like the taste of coconut, buy Refined Coconut Oil. It has a neutral scent and flavor.
