Chocolate Shell Sauce (DF)

Chocolate Shell Sauce
Watch it magically harden as you squirt it onto your ice cream :) Completely dairy-free!

2 c. Chocolate chips (I'd use 74% or sweeter)
2/3 c. Coconut oil

*Chocolate chip notes: Choose your sweetness
Milk chocolate- very sweet
Semi-Sweet- less sweet
Dark- Bitter. The higher the percentage (74%, 82%, 90%), the less sugar there is mixed in with the cacao. Mike and I generally snack on 82-90%, but I'll do 74% or sweeter as an ice cream topper.)

1. In a microwavable bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil.
2. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir.
3. Microwave in 30 second intervals until chips are completely melted.
Store at room temperature.

If it solidifies, warm it by placing the container in hot water in a bowl for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Vanilla Base Recipes (Regular, Custard, Dairy-Free/Vegan)
