Today chef Justin Chapple is shared a “Mad Genius Tip” for creating that crunchy, chocolate, Magic shell that retro ice cream shops are known for.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 pound bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Here’s what you do:

Chop the chocolate and place into a large bowl.

Add the coconut oil and microwave on high for 20 second intervals. Be sure to stir between interval!

Continue to microwave until the chocolate reaches a smooth consistency.

After the chocolate has reached the point of smoothness continue to stir and add in the salt.

Let the chocolate sit at room temperature until completely cooled.

Scoop your favorite ice cream into a bowl and pour on your newly made chocolate Magic Shell.

Let it sit for a few seconds and there you have it, homemade Magic Shell topped ice cream!
