Crunchy toasted coconut adds flavour and texture to this classic magic shell topping, which solidifies upon contact with cold ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 170 g dark chocolate, chopped

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

  • ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Melt chocolate with oil in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, or in the microwave in 30-sec bursts.

  • Stir in toasted coconut and salt. Let stand until barely warm, about 30 min, before serving. To make ahead, transfer to a heatproof airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Melt in the microwave before using.
