How To Make Magic Shell

  1. Place chocolate in heat proof bowl and microwave until melted, about 60-75 seconds depending on your microwave. Stir until creamy then drizzle in vegetable oil until well combined, shiny and smooth. Drizzle over ice cream, wait about 60 seconds for sauce to harden and enjoy your homemade magic shell. Place leftover sauce in airtight container and keep room temperature for 2 days. Microwave for 30 seconds before using again.

    I did not know one could make their own Magic Shell at home. This recipe is perfect! Now I can make ice cream shell with only two ingredients! And with different flavors of baking chips and a little bit of peanut butter, the combinations are numerous!

    Thank you for posting this. I was wondering if this would work with an oil other than coconut and now I know! My son wants an ice cream cake for his birthday and I have to make it myself since he’s allergic to coconut and basically all tree nuts.

    Thanks a lot for the recipe!! i’v been searching for the recipe for a while,all what i’v got was with coconut oil, i was troubled because i and my sisters hate the smell of it, it will be a big mistake to use it! so i am happy to now that i can use ordinary veg oil..i will just add a bit of coconut oil since everyone says it makes it harder and more crunchy!! THANKS AGAIN,,AND A LOT 🙂
