Magical Shell Chocolate Topping
By Published 06/30/2014
This melty vegan chocolate sauce will harden magically before your very eyes when added to cold and creamy ice cream.
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips or crushed chocolate bars
- 2 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
- optional: 1 teaspoon sweetener (maple or agave syrup) -- I do not add sweeteners though
- Alternative raw version: 3 tablespoon melted coconut oil + 1-2 tablespoon cacao powder. Stir briskly until smooth.
Instructions
- Add the chocolate and oil to a bowl.
- Microwave for 30 second, or until the chocolate is soft and oil is melted.
- Start briskly stirring. Continue stirring until the chocolate sauce is silky smooth. If large lumps remain, pop it back in the microwave for ten second intervals as needed.

This was delish--I can't believe it's so simple to make (no microwave so I used stovetop) and with only 2 quality ingredients! Poured it over the banana/strawberry blender ice cream. And then I realized I just purchased your 365 Vegan Smoothies book after high praise from a friend:-)

Holy crap woman... Just when I think you can't possibly come up with anymore awesome sauce recipes - you crank this bad boy out. I suspect I will always find your recipes awesome sauce though 😉
Love the quick video tutorial too - short videos are best for my attention span! My recipes never look quite as awesome as yours, so I appreciate you showing us how to do the finishing touches.

Awsome video, I'm on vacation right now, but I'm totally going to make this to drizzle on some homemade vegan ice cream when I get back!
Polina says

Melty chocolate in slow motion is a MUST for my youtube channel 🙂
Heather says
Do you think carob would work on this recipe? I love this site!
Kathy Patalsky says
yes! If you do the raw version you could use carob powder, or carob chips for sure. I would add a bit more oil since carob is actually fat free and you need that oil for this to firm up in a silky perfect way. ps . I love carob!
