Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil for helping the chocolate melt smoothly and harden quickly into a shell texture
– 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (or roughly 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips; raw cacao wafers preferred for bittersweet flavor and no sugar) for providing the rich cocoa taste and the crisp “snap” when it cools
Instructions
1-First Step: Set up a gentle double boiler. Place a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Add the 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (or about 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips, with raw cacao wafers preferred if you have them).
2-Second Step: Melt the chocolate slowly. Stir frequently with a silicone spatula to prevent burning. Heat just until the chips look fully melted and glossy.
3-Third Step: Stir in the 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil. Keep stirring and heat until the oil is dissolved, about 1 minute.
4-Fourth Step: Turn off the heat and remove the bowl from the double boiler. Let it cool for a few seconds so it stays pourable, not too hot.
5-Final Step: Pour the Dark Chocolate Magic Shell over an ice cream cone or a bowl of ice cream using a small ladle or spoon. The chocolate will harden into a shell within a few seconds. Serve immediately for the best crackle.
