Ingredients

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil (refined or unrefined for varying flavor)

Cooking Instructions

Combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir. If needed, microwave in additional 15-second increments until smooth and fully melted.

Let the mixture cool for a few minutes before drizzling over your favorite cold treat. Watch the magic unfold as it hardens into a perfect shell!

Suggestions

Don’t have coconut oil? Try melted butter or vegetable oil, though coconut oil gives the best texture and subtle taste.
Garnish your chocolate-coated dessert with crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt before the shell hardens for a gourmet finish.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of mint extract for a flavor twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container. Reheat gently before using again.
