Nutella Magic Shell
Description
This recipe blends Nutella, a chocolate-hazelnut spread, with coconut oil, which is solid at room temperature but melts easily. Heating these together melts the coconut oil and thins the Nutella, creating a smooth, pourable mixture. When cooled, the coconut oil solidifies, causing the mixture to harden rapidly upon contact with cold surfaces like ice cream.
The resulting Magic Shell topping has a shiny appearance and a crisp texture that breaks with a snap, contrasting the creamy ice cream underneath. The easy preparation requires only microwaving and stirring, with no complex or extended cooking steps.
Use this topping by drizzling it over your favorite ice cream and allowing it to set into a shell before serving. It adds a fun textural element and adds hazelnut-chocolate flavor to desserts without the need for store-bought sauces.

- 13 oz Nutella jar
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil coconut oil is a solid at room temperature, so measure when solid, heaping
Instructions
