Magic Shell

I never would have thought to make my own magic shell until I got sick of trying to squeeze it out of those cheap plastic bottles. The best part about making it at home is that you can use your favorite good-quality chocolate bar to create a crisp chocolate shell over your favorite ice cream. It’s ridiculously easy to make, tastes so much better, and hardens in seconds!

Ingredients

• 1 cup good-quality chocolate, chopped

• 2 TB organic refined coconut oil

Instructions

1. Add the chopped chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl.

2. Microwave in 25-second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely melted and smooth.

3. Let the chocolate cool for 2–3 minutes so it’s warm but not hot.

4. Spoon or pour over ice cream. The chocolate will harden within seconds into a crisp chocolate shell.

5. Top with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, cherries, nuts, or your favorite sundae toppings.

6. Store leftover magic shell in a sealed jar at room temperature. If it hardens, microwave for about 20 seconds and stir until smooth.
