4.4 from 5 reviews

Magic Shell is an easy-to-make chocolate topping that hardens quickly upon contact with cold desserts, creating a delicious crunchy shell. Made from melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil, this topping is perfect for ice cream and other chilled treats.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving (enough to cover 1-2 cups of dessert)

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, ensuring they are evenly mixed before heating.
  2. Microwave and Stir: Microwave the mixture on half power for 1 minute, then stir well. Continue microwaving in short intervals while stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Cool the Mixture: Allow the melted chocolate and coconut oil mixture to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes or until it is no longer warm and reaches room temperature.
  4. Apply to Dessert: Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over your dessert of choice, such as ice cream, to create a crisp, hard shell.

Notes

  • Use half power in the microwave to prevent burning the chocolate.
  • Stirring frequently during melting ensures a smooth and even texture.
  • The mixture must be at room temperature to properly harden on cold desserts.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature and reheat gently before use.
  • For a different flavor, try using dark or milk chocolate chips.
