- 4 tablespoons Peanut butter or chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoons Optional: Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional: Pinch of salt (for chocolate version)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil and either peanut butter or chocolate chips.
Step 2
Microwave the mixture on high for 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the ingredients are fully melted and smooth (this should take about 1-2 minutes).
Step 3
If desired, stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor. For the chocolate version, add a small pinch of salt to enhance the taste.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to cool slightly at room temperature for 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Drizzle the magic shell topping over your ice cream or frozen dessert, and let it set for a few seconds. It will harden into a crackly shell.
Step 6
Store any leftover magic shell topping in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Reheat gently before use by microwaving in 10-second intervals and stirring well.
