Homemade chocolate shell

Makes about 1 cup

You can use refined or unrefined (or virgin) coconut oil for this recipe, but refined has a more neutral, and less coconut-y, flavor. For dipping, use the higher quantity of coconut oil for a more fluid finished product.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or roughly chopped semisweet chocolate
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch kosher salt

Directions

  1. Melt the chocolate, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt over a double boiler until smooth.
  2. Set aside and cool to room temperature, then spoon over ice cream or use to dip ice cream bars.
