Magic Shell Chocolate Ice Cream Topping

Magic Shell Chocolate Ice Cream Topping is a delicious, soft, runny, chocolate topping which sets into a crunchy shell, as soon as it hits the freezing cold ice cream. It creates a delicious, set, chocolate topping with a wonderful texture contrast; shake over some colourful sprinkles or chopped nuts and/or grated chocolate and you are good to go!

Serves 4 - 6

Keyword chocolate sauce, Ice cream, magic shell
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 1 minute

Ingredients

  • 200g of your favourite chocolate - white, milk or dark
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Collect together your equipment (see Recipe Notes below) and ingredients.

  2. Chop the chocolate and place in a microwave safe bowl.

  3. Add the coconut oil and heat for 30 seconds in a microwave. Stir well and continue to blitz and stir in 15 second increments, until the chocolate has nearly melted.

  4. Set aside for a few minutes until the chocolate sauce is ready. If necessary, give it another blitz in the microwave to fully melt the chocolate. Your sauce is now ready.

  5. You can store this sauce at room temperature for up to a month, in a sealed container. I use a sterilised jam jar and lid. Do not store it in the fridge, it will harden.

  6. When you are ready to serve: scoop your ice cream into a bowl or ice cream cone.

  7. Drizzle over the chocolate sauce.

  8. Very quickly shake over the sprinkles, before the sauce sets. EAT and ENJOY!
