Chocolate Coconut Shell Food

OLIVE OIL CHOCOLATE SHELL

Steps:

• Melt chocolate over a double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning the chocolate, until completely melted. Take chocolate off the heat and whisk in olive oil until completely incorporated.
• Allow chocolate to cool slightly before serving (to avoid melting the ice cream); be sure to keep stirring to avoid hardening. Spoon over ice cream (do not dip anything into the chocolate or it will spoil). Finish with a pinch of flakey salt before the chocolate hardens.
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container; if chocolate solidifies, reheat and whisk before using.

BASIC CHOCOLATE SHELL TOPPING

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a bare simmer. Combine the chocolate, coconut oil and sea salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set over the pan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the pan and let the mixture cool at least 15 minutes before pouring on top of ice cream (or you can dip your ice cream in the mixture instead). Transfer any remaining sauce to an airtight microwave-safe container and refrigerate up to 3 months. To remelt, uncover and microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring, until pourable.

DIY CHOCOLATE SHELL COATING

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate, shortening, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a small bowl. Pour over ice cream and let harden, or use as a coating for snacks like fruit or pretzels.

CHOCOLATE SHELL ICE-CREAM TOPPING

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a small metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir in the coconut oil and heat until dissolved, about 1 minute. Keep the liquid lukewarm until ready to pour over the ice cream. Chocolate will harden into a shell within a few seconds when spooned over ice cream.

INSTANT CHOCOLATE HARD SHELL

Steps:

• Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave in 30-second intervals, mixing well each time, until mixture is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. It takes about 1 minute of stirring until they fully mix together. Store at room temperature in an air-tight container.
