Homemade Ice Magic (microwave, 2 ingredients)
Instant chocolate hard shell for topping ice cream is deliciously crunchy and easy to make using 2 simple ingredients: chocolate and coconut oil.
Colesworth jacking up the cost of Ice Magic? You can make some with chocolate and coconut oil to work out much cheaper.
There are heaps of recipes for "chocolate shell" so try them out
In the US, we call it Turtle Shell and I always avoided eating it as a kid because I thought actual turtles were killed to make it.
Oh yeah, you've got soup turtles and dessert turtles, and you gotta make sure they're ripe

I wonder if that is a regional name for it. I don't think I ever knew a generic name for it, growing up on the west coast. I always knew it as Magic Shell, which I think is a brand name
Midwest checking in, always Magic Shell, agree that is brand name. Never heard Turtle Shell either.
Midwest, never heard it called Magic Shell or Turtle shell. Its just a chocolate dipped cone.
Got a bit of a shock when the recipe says to use semisweet chocolate chips and they show up for $56 at Woolies.. I guess dark chocolate chips would be better...
Also the coconut oil in bottles seems pricey. Copha is cheaper.
Hang on. Copha. Dark chocolate chips. We're making chocolate crackles, aren't we? 🤤
I also kinda wish I didn't notice the Homemade dark chocolate recipe at the bottom of the page 😬. If I'm gonna make one, I should really try the other...
Thanks!
Yikes! Tell em they're dreaming. Really I think any kind of chocolate would probably do. Chopped bar chocolate is cheaper and actually melts better as chips are made to hold their shape when baked. The Coles Belgian dark chocolate is very decent for the price.
I have seen coconut oil in jars at Aldi that didn't seem too expensive but I've forgotten how much now. Edit: About $4 for a 300g jar. Or $3.60 for 250g at Coles. Copha would be interesting though, it might set harder.
