Homemade chocolate “magic shell” on coffee ice cream This is my new favorite thing in all the world. We recently had friends staying with us who are gluten and dairy-free, and homemade magic shell atop mango sorbet made for an easy and delicious dessert that fit their needs. I read about it in the Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream cookbook, but don’t have a copy so I Binged it. I’m not sure if this was her recipe, but this worked great - 1 1/4 cups chopped chocolate or chocolate chips (need to use dark chocolate for dairy-free, though I’d be my reco regardless) 1/2 cup coconut oil Combine in a bowl and microwave, stirring occasionally, till melted. Doesn’t take long at all. You want it just above room temp. I put it in a squeeze bottle and have just popped the bottle in the microwave for about 30 seconds on low to turn it back to liquid.
