Begin by measuring 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and placing it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the coconut oil in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until fully melted, but be careful not to let it boil.

Next, add 1 ½ teaspoons of raw honey or maple syrup to the melted coconut oil, along with 1/8 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract if using. Whisk these ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined and smooth.

Now, gradually fold in 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder into the wet mixture. Stir gently until the cacao is completely integrated and no streaks remain.

Allow the magic shell mixture to cool for a few moments at room temperature—about 5 minutes—before drizzling it over your favorite cold treats.

Once cooled, carefully pour the Homemade Magic Shell over ice cream, smoothie bowls, or fresh frozen fruits.

If you have any leftover magic shell, transfer it to an airtight container and store it at room temperature.
