Ingredients

  • 200 Grams Chocolate dark+milk
  • 2.5 Tablespoons Coconut Oil

Instructions

  • Chop the chocolate into small pieces so it melts easily and evenly.
  • Add chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave for 15 seconds. Mix and microwave for an additional 15 seconds if required. Continue this until the chocolate and coconut have melted. The mixture must be glossy and smooth.
  • Alternatively you can place it in a bowl and cook it over a water bath for 1-2 minutes or until smoothly melted.
  • Set the chocolate mixture aside. Scoop your favourite ice cream into a bowl. Pour the chocolate mix over it. You can also dip scooped ice cream straight into the chocolate.
  • Allow the shell to harden for a few seconds. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Chocolate: I prefer to use a mix of 50:50 milk chocolate to dark chocolate but this is flexible
  2. Serving Size: The serving size is estimated as sauce required for two scoops of ice cream to form a hard chocolate shell
  3. Add Ons: Sprinkle some chopped nuts, fruits or sprinkles once you pour the chocolate sauce as additional fun toppings
  4. You can microwave the ingredients together to melt coconut oil and chocolate or you can also use a double boiler
