Homemade “Magic Shell”

‘Magic Shell’ is probably one of the easiest things to duplicate at home. In fact, in my years of cooking with coconut oil, I’ve accidentally ‘magic shelled’ a number things when I’ve added melted coconut oil to cold ingredients. I just played around with the ratios til I was happy with the result:

75 grams coconut oil
100 grams good quality dark chocolate

Melt together in a bowl over simmering water.

That’s it. Use it immediately or bottle it and store at room temperature to keep it liquid. If it solidifies – which it will if your house is as cold as mine in the winter – set the jar in hot water for a few minutes.
