5 from 3 votes
This two-ingredient Homemade Magic Shell is rich and smooth and sets up perfectly over your favorite ice cream. Once you try it you'll never go back to the bottle!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings16 tablespoons

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces high-quality chocolate
  • 2-4 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

  • Combine chocolate and 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Heat in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring each time until smooth.
    2 tablespoons is the minimal amount of coconut oil you'll need, but depending on your preference, you can stir in more at this point. The more coconut oil you add, the thinner the consistency and shell. My personal preference is a total of 4 tablespoons coconut oil to 1 cup chocolate chips.
  • Drizzle over ice cream, dip frozen/cold treats in the chocolate, or use in the Homemade Ice Cream Cake Crunchy recipe (see Notes below).

Notes

  • Store finished Magic Shell Topping in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoy within 30 days for best results.
  • If your house is on the warmer side it may remain pourable. If it solidifies, just pop it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds and stir before use.
