Ingredients

  • cup peanut butter creamy
  • 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil

Instructions

  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt peanut butter for 30 seconds - 1 minute.
  • Stir in coconut oil until melted and well combined. Let the magic shell liquid cool for 2 minutes.
  • Stir again before pouring over cold ice cream. Wait at least 30 seconds - 1 minute for the magic shell to harden. Enjoy!

Notes

Refined Coconut Oil is Key - which has a neutral flavor. Unrefined coconut oil will give your Magic Shell a stronger coconut aroma and taste.
Use Store Bought Peanut Butter - I have NOT used this recipe with a natural or homemade peanut butter so I'm unsure what the consistency will be like. I use good ole fashion Jif Peanut Butter or Skippy's.
Endless Flavor Possibilities - you can choose different ice cream flavors other than just vanilla. Like chocolate, chocolate chip, coffee, peanut butter, cookie dough, cookies and cream just to name a few. Or, enjoy the peanut butter magic shell with hot fudge for a play on a Reese's inspired sundae. You can also add chopped peanuts or pretzels or even a dash of cinnamon.
