Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Step 2
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, creating a double boiler. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Step 3
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together, stirring frequently with a heat-safe spatula until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
If using vanilla extract, remove the bowl from heat and stir it in once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly.
Step 5
Allow the chocolate sauce to cool at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before using. It should be liquid but not too hot to pour over cold ice cream.
Step 6
Pour the sauce over your favorite scoop of ice cream and watch it magically harden into a crunchy shell within seconds.
Step 7
Store leftover chocolate sauce in an airtight container at room temperature. If it solidifies, simply rewarm it gently before using.
