Homemade Magic Shell Recipe

Step 1 Ingredients

There are two basic ingredients for this recipe:

• Coconut oil
• Chocolate

Naomi from The Accidental Vegan recommends 1 cup of coconut oil to  1-2 cups of chocolate.  Jocelyn at Brownie Points Blog  recommends 100g coconut oil and 150g chocolate.

I discovered that for an 8oz jar (which makes a super cute gift, btw), the following ratio was perfect (but if you don't have a scale, the first set of measurements is fine!):

• 90g coconut oil
• 135g chocolate
• dash sea salt

Once you try this recipe, you'll want to make it again, and you'll start to think about getting crazy with the flavors.  Do it!  Use tiny splashes of flavored extracts to get started, and build your flavor profiles from there.

And what if you're not a fan of coconut milk/cream? Is the flavour of the coconut oil very strong? Is this coconut oil in a jar equivalent to Copha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copha)?

I can't taste any coconut in it at all. I would only say use a substitute if you're allergic.

Hmmm, now where to find this mystery ingredient locally.... I'll set myself to the task!

I found it at my local Super Walmart, about five and a half bucks for 31.5oz. Good luck on your search!

I'm in Australia, so Walmart isn't an option.

Hey cool recipe, By the way all of those ratios are the same... 1cup coconut and 1.5 cup chocolate = .67 100 gram coconut and 150 gram chocolate = .67 90 gram coconut and 135 gram chocolate = .67

Yeah, I know. I was just scaling down to make it all fit into my little jars :D
