Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups bittersweet chocolate chips (9 oz)
- ¾ cup coconut oil (unrefined or refined)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the bittersweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe container to prepare for melting.
- Initial Heating: Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly to blend the ingredients.
- Heat Further: Microwave again for an additional 30 seconds on high, then stir to mix evenly.
- Finish Melting: Continue to heat on high in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Cool Mixture: Allow the liquid chocolate shell to cool to room temperature, making it easier to handle and store.
- Store Properly: Transfer the magic shell to an airtight container and keep at room temperature until ready to use.
- Use on Frozen Treats: Spoon the magic shell over any frozen dessert and wait 10 to 15 seconds until the shell hardens, creating a crisp chocolate coating.
- Long Term Storage: The magic shell can be stored unopened for up to 6 months at room temperature, retaining its quality.
Notes
- Use either unrefined or refined coconut oil based on your flavor preference; refined coconut oil has a milder taste.
- Stirring frequently during microwaving prevents burning and ensures smooth melting.
- If the shell becomes too thick, gently reheat in short intervals to return it to a drizzle-friendly consistency.
- The recipe makes enough magic shell for approximately 24 servings, ideal for parties or regular treat topping.
- Store the magic shell away from heat sources to prevent it from melting prematurely.
