Ingredients

A jar of cookie butter and a jar of coconut oil. Each is labeled with a dark red box with white text in all caps.

Ingredient Notes

  • Coconut Oil: Needs to be refined to ensure there is no coconut flavor. This is how the magic happens. Coconut oil is in a solid phase but when heated it melts to a liquid.

Expert Tips

  • Refined Coconut Oil is Key: which has a neutral flavor. Unrefined coconut oil will give your Magic Shell a stronger coconut aroma and taste.
  • Magic Shell isn't just for Ice Cream: while this recipe is made for ice cream and sundaes! Don't limit this recipe to just ice cream. Drizzle this on bananas or sliced apples, coat a fudge bar, drizzled on cheesecake, just to name a few other ideas. It will take longer for the sauce to solidify if the item is room temperature vs cold just fyi.
