Then to add some indulgence, we add Magic Shell Ice Cream Topping – a delicious soft runny chocolate topping which sets into a crunchy shell, as soon as it hits the freezing cold ice cream.

This quick and easy healthy homemade magic shell is the perfect chocolate topping for frozen fruit, smoothies, or any cold treat! It creates a delicious, set, chocolate topping with a wonderful texture contrast; shake over some colourful sprinkles or chopped nuts and/or grated chocolate and you are good to go!

It is really easy to make, uses only 2 ingredients, and you can use your favourite chocolate. It works well with white, milk and dark chocolate.

What causes magic shell to harden?

Coconut oil! Coconut oil is solid at room temperature. When you warm it, it turns into a liquid – you may have noticed that this can even happen in the middle of summer – the coconut oil in the pantry definitely starts to go soft, if not liquid. To make the sauce, you melt coconut oil with chocolate. Once the sauce comes into contact with the cold ice-cream, the coconut oil reverts back to it’s solid state, creating the hard shell…it’s magic!

The best thing about this sauce is that it takes less than 5 minutes to make. Less time than it takes for the ice cream to soften enough to scoop it!
