Homemade “Magic Shell” Chocolate Sauce


I love getting a chocolate dipped cone at the local Dairy Queen, but could never enjoy the treat at home. While browsing the internet today I found this on 51 Kitchens website. Chocolate%20Hardening%20Sauce%20REcipe.docx This magical chocolate sauce that hardens when it hits your ice cream just like I love. “It cracks as you dig your spoon into the bowl, giving you a nice chunk of chocolate along with a bite of rich ice cream. Yum!” 51 Kitchens

The best part is the sauce is super easy to make and it only takes 2 ingredients. The second best part is you know what is in it and you can enjoy it anytime you want without a trip to the DQ. If you use the butterscotch bits instead of the chocolate you can have a different treat. They don’t have this at my DQ anymore and I miss it terribly.

Recipe:
Homemade “Magic Shell” Chocolate Sauce


•7 oz. of your favorite chocolate, roughly chopped
•2 T coconut oil*

In a heat-proof bowl, place chocolate and coconut oil in microwave. Heat the mix 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until fully melted. (Or, in a double boiler, heat chocolate and coconut oil over water on medium high heat, stirring frequently until fully melted.) note: don’t let the water touch the top part of the double boiler or you may burn the chocolate, or you can use a glass bowl set on top of a saucepan to make your own double boiler. Set the sauce aside to cool. Pour over ice cream.

Follow the next 3 steps to reach happiness:
1.Dip out your favorite ice cream into a bowl
2.Pour the finished sauce over the ice cream
3.Wait a few seconds and enjoy

To dip a cone put it in a deep narrow container so you can fit the cone in all the way. Be careful you don’t lose the ice cream in the sauce, but if you do a big spoon will take care of this issue. For a really great treat, sprinkle with chopped nuts before the sauce hardens.

Store in air-tight glass container in refrigerator. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds before use.

*If you’re allergic to coconut, I’ve seen recipes that use butter or non-hydrogenated shortening (Spectrum makes a good one) but I haven’t tried those ingredients myself. If you try them, post to let us know how they work.
