Instant Chocolate Hard Shell

A delicious chocolate candy shell topping for ice cream made in less than 5 minutes using just two ingredients.

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 32 servings

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
⅔ cup coconut oil

Directions

Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in the 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 airtight container.

Recipe Tips

You can use any oil that has no flavor or has a flavor compatible with chocolate and your ice cream. Canola or soybean work OK here, but the coconut oil sends the flavor over the top and makes it a tad crunchier.

Add more oil for a thinner, crispier shell; add less for a thicker shell.

Costas French Market Doughnuts (Beignets)

As kids, we always put in a heartfelt request for these Costas French Market doughnuts (beignets) on Christmas Eve. It was quite a family affair—my mom would make up the dough, my dad would roll them out and cut them, and then after frying them up, we kids would take turns shaking them in a paper bag with confectioners' sugar! I finally got to go to New Orleans and was excited to try "the real thing'" at the famous Cafe Du Monde...I was so happy because my husband and I said our recipe was a near-carbon copy of Cafe Du Monde! We've made this recipe for over 40 years, and I promise it won't disappoint!
