Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: a medium microwave-safe bowl, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, and a storage container.
- Measure the coconut oil and place it in the microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the coconut oil is completely melted and liquid.
- Add the creamy peanut butter to the melted coconut oil. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Sift the powdered sugar into the peanut butter and coconut oil mixture to prevent clumping. Whisk continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is glossy.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and whisk to incorporate, which will enhance the overall flavor of the magic shell.
- Allow the mixture to cool for 2-3 minutes at room temperature. The consistency should be smooth and pourable but not hot.
- Transfer the magic shell to a clean, airtight storage container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- To use, drizzle over cold ice cream. The mixture will instantly harden into a crisp, delicious shell when it contacts the frozen surface.
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality creamy peanut butter and pure vanilla extract. This will make a noticeable difference in the taste of your magic shell.
- Microwave Carefully: When melting the coconut oil, be sure to check it frequently to avoid overheating. Stirring every 15 seconds helps achieve a smooth consistency without burning.
- Sift the Sugar: Sifting the powdered sugar before adding it to the mixture helps prevent clumps, ensuring a smooth and glossy finish for your magic shell.
- Cool Before Storing: Allow the mixture to cool slightly before transferring it to a storage container. This will help maintain its pourable consistency.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to customize your magic shell by adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of your favorite extract, such as almond or hazelnut, for a unique twist.
- Perfect for Parties: Prepare a batch in advance for parties or gatherings, and set up a DIY ice cream sundae bar where guests can drizzle their own magic shell!
