Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 cup crushed cookies
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and 1/2 cup of crushed cookies. Make sure you have a heatproof bowl and a whisk or spatula ready for mixing.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. The coconut oil will help to create that magic shell texture once the mixture cools.
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Ensure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water to prevent the chocolate from seizing. Stir the mixture gently until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool for a minute. This will prevent the crushed cookies from sinking to the bottom when added.
- After cooling slightly, fold in the crushed cookies into the melted chocolate mixture. Stir gently to ensure the cookies are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight container. Allow it to cool to room temperature before sealing the container. This will help maintain the texture of the magic shell.
- To use your Homemade Cookies and Cream Magic Shell, simply pour it over your favorite ice cream. It will harden quickly as it comes into contact with the cold ice cream, creating a delightful crunchy shell.
- Store any leftover magic shell in the refrigerator. When you're ready to use it again, you can reheat it gently in the microwave or over a double boiler until it reaches a pourable consistency.
Tips
- • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and smoothest texture • Ensure your coconut oil is at room temperature for easier melting • Stir gently when combining ingredients to prevent air bubbles • Let the mixture cool slightly before adding crushed cookies to prevent them from sinking • For extra crunch, use chocolate sandwich cookies like Oreos • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks • Reheat gently in short microwave bursts or using a double boiler if the mixture solidifies • Experiment with different cookie types for unique flavor variations
