Ingredients

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Get out a large pot and fill with about 2 inches of water. Place on the stove over medium heat.
  • On top of the pot, add a heat-safe bowl to create a double boiler. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to the bowl.
  • Cook, stirring frequently with a spatula until chocolate is completely melted and combined with the coconut oil. Chocolate should be smooth and there should be no lumps remaining.
  • Turn off the heat and remove the bowl from the heat to cool. Let chocolate topping mixture cool for 20 minutes before using.

Notes

  • Chocolate Magic Shell topping can be used on top of ice cream, or even mixed into ice cream.
  • For microwave instructions, see the section of the blog post that walks through those steps.
  • Store Magic Shell in an airtight container at room temperature.
