Magic Shell

Cultural Context

Magic Shell originated in the United States as a fun topping for ice cream, delighting both children and adults alike. Its unique ability to harden upon contact with cold surfaces creates an exciting textural contrast. Today, variations abound, with flavors ranging from dark chocolate to white chocolate, making it a beloved treat at ice cream shops and home kitchens worldwide.

Welcome back to Mimi's Organic Eats.

2

We're making homemade magic shell.

3

You'll need 226 g of dark chocolate, preferably organic mini dark chocolate chips.

4

You can also use a dark chocolate bar, chopped into small pieces for easier melting.

5

Next, measure out 57 g of coconut oil, which is essential for the magic shell to solidify.

6

Place the dark chocolate in a heat-proof mixing bowl, preferably glass.

7

Add the coconut oil into the bowl with the dark chocolate.

8

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together using a microwave or a double boiler.

9

If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.

10

Stir until the chocolate and coconut oil are completely combined and melted.

11

If you want to add flavor, mix in options like peanut butter at this stage.

12

Transfer the magic shell to a mason jar or a squeeze bottle for easy use.

13

You can use this magic shell on any flavor of ice cream or for dipping ice cream bars.
