Instant Chocolate Hard Shell Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave in 30-second intervals, mixing well each time, until mixture is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. It takes about 1 minute of stirring until they fully mix together.
• Store at room temperature in an air-tight container.
• Note: Add more oil for thinner, crispier hard shell and add less for a thicker hard shell.

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a bare simmer. Combine the chocolate, coconut oil and sea salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set over the pan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the pan and let the mixture cool at least 15 minutes before pouring on top of ice cream (or you can dip your ice cream in the mixture instead). Transfer any remaining sauce to an airtight microwave-safe container and refrigerate up to 3 months. To remelt, uncover and microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring, until pourable.

Steps:

• Combine chocolate and oil in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of barely simmering water. Gently stir just until melted and smooth. Remove from heat; let cool about 20 minutes. (It should thicken slightly but still be pourable; if too thick, return bowl to simmering water 10 to 15 seconds.)

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Remove the lid from ice cream container. Working quickly, cut the container off the ice cream and turn ice cream on its side on a work surface. Insert craft sticks into the side of the ice cream, evenly spacing them. Cut the ice cream between the sticks, creating 3 bars.
• Arrange ice cream bars in the prepared baking sheet; freeze until completely solid, 8 hours to overnight.
• Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave in 30-second intervals, mixing well each time, until chocolate hard shell mixture is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Hold 1 ice cream bar over a separate measuring cup and pour chocolate hard shell mixture over bar to cover completely. Let chocolate dry for a few seconds and pour chocolate hard shell mixture over bar again, creating a thick shell. Place bar back in the waxed paper. Repeat with remaining bars and chocolate hard shell mixture.
• Freeze bars until set, at least 15 minutes.
