INSTANT CHOCOLATE HARD SHELL



Instant Chocolate Hard Shell image

Two ingredients and less than 5 minutes to a delicious chocolate candy shell for ice cream. After trying recipe after recipe that turned out either rock hard or thick gummy hard shells - I thought to read the ingredient list on a bottle of the store stuff and came up with this! 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! Drizzle on top of your favorite ice cream!

Tips:

  • Pick the right chocolate. Use a good quality semisweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate. Overheating the chocolate will cause it to seize and become grainy.
  • Use heavy cream. Heavy cream will help the sauce to be thick and creamy.
  • Add flavorings. You can add a variety of flavorings to the sauce, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or cinnamon.
  • Let the sauce cool completely. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so be sure to let it cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

This hard shell chocolate sauce is the perfect topping for ice cream, sundaes, and other desserts. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and decadent sauce that will make your desserts even more special.
