How about some homemade Raspberry Chocolate Magic Shell topping for you and your sweetie this Valentines Day?...
If you don't know what Magic Shell ice cream topping is, it's a liquid topping that becomes a hard shell when you pour it on ice cream. Yum! So we decided to make our own homemade version. It's incredibly easy and soooooo tasty! It only takes a few ingredients and a microwave...
You could even put it in a cute jar and give as a gift! We devoured ours before I could do anything that cute, though.;)
Raspberry Chocolate Magic Shell
Ingredients:
16 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 oz. coconut oil
1/4 c. raspberry syrup
3-4 drops raspberry oil
Ingredients:
16 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 oz. coconut oil
1/4 c. raspberry syrup
3-4 drops raspberry oil
Notes: I found the coconut oil at our local health food store. You can get coconut oil refined or unrefined. Either one works--unrefined will give you a slightly coconutty flavor. You can find raspberry syrup by the regular pancake syrups in your grocery store.
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except flavoring oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds on high power, remove and stir. Microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until ingredients are melted and combined. Stir in 3-4 drops raspberry oil or 5-6 drops raspberry flavoring. Store in a sealed container at room temperature (do not refrigerate!). If it hardens, simply microwave for 20 seconds before serving.

To serve, pour over your favorite ice cream...
You know, I think I'd like a little more...
Mmm....getting better...
That's more like it!...
Warning: this liquid lusciousness has been known to cause serious romance. Use at your own discretion!

WHAT?!?!? You can make your own magic shell? How do you make it just plain old chocolate?
Yes, you can use any chocolate (you can go for a higher grade but chocolate chips are pretty cheap). You just need the coconut oil so it won't be solid at room temperature. :)
Brilliant! Homemade magic shell is a fabulous idea. Love the raspberry flavor.
This sounds sooooooo good.
Fun! I love chocolate shells - so excited to try this!
I'm big on mint...soooo going to try this the minty way.
I've made mint chocolate magic shell, but I'm going to have to try the raspberry. Thanks for the idea!
I didn't know you could make your own Magic Shell! My kids would love this. I shared your link on my Favorite Feeds Friday.
Thanks Mandy! Love Dipped cones! This will be splendid! Too bad hubby has to work Monday :-(
The kids will enjoy this one!
Love this recipe. Never knew you could actually make your own magic shell. Yum. Can hardly wait to try it!
I wonder if homemade magic shell would work on food other than ice cream... like frozen strawberries or frozen cake pieces. I love chocolate dipped anything!
Laural, I think it would! Berries or cake sounds divine!!
