HOMEMADE MAGIC SHELL RECIPE
Growing up Magic Shell was the coveted topping when ice cream sundaes were being made. It was always in a tiny bottle and gone after four people used it.
The chocolate mixture hardens into a breakable shell on top of your favorite ice cream. The most satisfying part was cracking that delicious topping with a spoon.
WHAT IS MAGIC SHELL
It’s a chocolate sauce that hardens when poured on ice cream.
HOW DOES IT WORK
In this version, when the warm chocolate and coconut oil mixture is poured on the cold ice cream the mixture hardens when it hits the cold.
INGREDIENTS
- Coconut Oil – I use refined coconut oil because it has a very mild coconut flavor compared to unrefined coconut oil but either can be used. Unlike purchased magic shell toppings, this is made from pure ingredients.
- Chocolate Chips – use semisweet or milk chocolate. In fact you can use any flavor.
VARIATIONS
You can use any flavor of chips that you want.
- Peanut butter chips
- Butterscotch chips
- Mint chocolate chips
- Vanilla chips
- Add sprinkles on top
HOW TO MAKE MAGIC SHELL
-
In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in 30 second intervals in the microwave stirring in between. Add more chocolate chips to make it thicker, more coconut oil to make it thinner.
-
Pour over ice cream. Store at room temperature and reheat as needed.
HOW TO STORE
