Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of dark chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Make sure to use high-quality dark chocolate chips that are refined sugar-free for the best results.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and the coconut oil. The coconut oil will help the chocolate to harden into a shell-like texture once cooled.
- Microwave the mixture on medium power for about 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, take the bowl out and stir the mixture. This helps to ensure that the chocolate chips melt evenly and prevents burning.
- If the chocolate chips are not fully melted, return the bowl to the microwave and heat in 15-second increments, stirring in between each increment until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Once the chocolate and coconut oil are well combined and smooth, let the mixture cool for a minute or two. This will prevent it from being too hot when you pour it over your dessert.
- Your homemade magic shell is now ready to use! Pour it over your favorite ice cream or dessert. The mixture will harden quickly upon contact with the cold surface, creating a delicious chocolate shell.
- If you have any leftover magic shell, you can store it in an airtight container at room temperature. When you want to use it again, simply reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds until it becomes pourable.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips that are refined sugar-free to ensure a rich flavor and smooth texture in your magic shell.
- Microwave with Care: When melting the chocolate and coconut oil, use medium power to prevent burning. Stirring frequently will help achieve an even melt.
- Control the Temperature: Allow the melted mixture to cool slightly before pouring it over your dessert. This prevents it from melting your ice cream or other toppings.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract to elevate the flavor of your magic shell even further.
- Storage Made Easy: If you have leftovers, store your magic shell in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds when you're ready to use it again.
- Get Creative: Don’t limit yourself to just ice cream! Try drizzling your magic shell over fruit, pancakes, or even brownies for an extra special treat.
