Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil (measured when solid)
Instructions
- Melt Ingredients: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and solid coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute to begin melting the mixture.
- Stir and Adjust Microwave Time: Stir the melted mixture thoroughly. If it is not fully melted and runny, microwave in short intervals of 10-15 seconds until it reaches a smooth, runny consistency without boiling.
- Transfer to Container: Pour the melted magic shell sauce into a bottle or glass jar that can be reheated safely in the microwave.
- Store Properly: Do not refrigerate the magic shell. Store it at room temperature where it will keep for about 2-3 weeks.
- Reheat Before Use: When ready to use, reheat the magic shell in the microwave without the lid for 15-30 seconds to bring it back to a liquid state for easy pouring over ice cream.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe container for melting and reheating to avoid burns or melting plastic.
- Do not overheat as burning the chocolate will ruin the flavor and texture.
- Store at room temperature to maintain the best texture and shelf life.
- This magic shell works best on cold ice cream for instant hardening and a crunchy texture.
- Adjust the amount of coconut oil slightly to change the thickness and hardening speed.
