Chocolate Shell

Chocolate Shell or Magic Shell (the name used for the store-bought version) is a sauce that quickly hardens when poured over cold things. If you haven't tried it before, it's basically like a chocolate topping for your ice cream that hardens up a little once it's been on the ice cream for a few seconds. It creates a chocolate shell around the ice cream, but it still says soft enough to break apart and enjoy.

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 Tbsp. coconut oil measured when solid

Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 20-30 second increments, making sure to stir very well after each increment, until completely melted and smooth.

Allow to cool for a few minutes, then top on ice cream of choice.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature, stir well before topping on ice cream again.

Makes ¾ cup of magic shell, which serves about 4-6 people.
