Copycat Magic Shell
Description
The Copycat Magic Shell consists of semi-sweet chocolate chips combined with coconut oil and melted gently in the microwave at reduced power. Stirring every 30 seconds helps achieve a smooth mixture without burning. Once melted, the mixture is ready to drizzle over ice cream or other frozen desserts. As it contacts the cold surface, it solidifies quickly, creating a thin, crackly shell of chocolate.
This topping adds texture contrast and a rich chocolate flavor, enhancing simple ice cream servings. Coconut oil helps the chocolate harden on chilling and gives the shell a crisp snap.
Leftover Magic Shell can be stored at room temperature sealed for up to a month or frozen for up to four months. To store, pour onto parchment-lined trays to freeze and break into pieces for easy reheating. Reheat gently in a microwave at 50% power while stirring until smooth again for reuse.

Instructions

Notes
