Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, add ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Peppermint Extract: Stir in ½ teaspoon peppermint extract thoroughly to infuse the chocolate mixture with refreshing mint flavor.
- Cool Slightly: Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken but remain pourable. This will help the magic shell harden nicely when poured over cold ice cream.
- Serve: Pour the chocolate peppermint magic shell directly onto your favorite ice cream. The mixture will harden within seconds, creating a crisp, chocolatey coating with a minty twist.
Notes
- Use refined coconut oil to avoid a coconut flavor; unrefined coconut oil will add a coconut taste.
- If the magic shell thickens too much before use, gently microwave it again for a few seconds to restore pourable consistency.
- Store any leftover magic shell in an airtight container at room temperature and rewarm gently as needed.
- Adjust peppermint extract quantity to taste; add more for a stronger mint flavor.
- This topping is best poured over cold ice cream for immediate hardening.
