Dark Chocolate Magic Shell

INGREDIENTS:

Ice Cream:

  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted

  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted

Dark chocolate magic shell:

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

  • 1.5 TBSPs coconut oil

STEPS:

  1. For the ice cream: Remove vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften a bit, about 5-10 minutes.

  2. While ice cream is softening, using an offset spatula or a spoon, spread your melted chocolate in a very thin layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until hardened.

  3. Once hardened, break chocolate up into shards.

  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup toasted coconut flakes, ice cream, chocolate shards.

  5. Return to the freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours or up to overnight

  6. For the magic shell: In a microwave safe bowl, 1 cup chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Be careful with your chocolate, as it can easily burn.

  7. Assemble: Scoop ice cream onto a cone or bowl of your choice, drizzle chocolate shell over the top, garnish with toasted coconut.
