More tips for you
- The chocolate can be melted in the method that you prefer to use. However, I find that it is easiest to melt the chocolate using the microwave method.
- While the melted chocolate smells so yummy when first made, it is a good idea to allow it to cool before placing it on top of something cold such as ice cream. If the chocolate is too warm it can melt the ice cream.
- Make sure that you do not add anything else other than the chocolate and coconut oil when you make this. Ingredients such as water can ruin your magic shell.

How to make 2 Ingredient Chocolate Magic Shell
This Magic Shell makes 2 cups.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 3 minutes
Step One: melt the chocolate.
Place your ingredients in a medium sized microwave safe bowl.
Microwave the ingredients on high, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until the ingredients are melted together. This should take about a minute and a half or less total.
Step Two: allow the ingredients to cool a bit.
Since we do not want the ice cream to melt, it is a good idea to allow the shell ingredients to cool slightly. Allow the ingredients to cool for fifteen to 20 minutes, stirring every five minutes.
Step Three: use the shell.
When the shell has cooled and yet, is still in liquid form, you can pour it over your ice cream (or whatever). Allow the shell to harden (less than a minute..). Enjoy.
You can store any leftovers in jar or airtight container at room temperature.
