Ingredients needed:
- Dark Sugar-Free Chocolate Bar
- Coconut Oil
*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON SUPER EASY SUGAR-FREE MAGIC SHELL MAKING
First Step: Ingredients
Prepare your Chocolate Bar or Chocolate Chips.
If you do not have a chocolate bar or chips on hand, use 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1/4 cup cocoa powder with 1 Tbsp Sweetener of your choice.
Coconut Oil should be at room temperature for easier melting
Second Step: Chocolate
If you are using your favorite Sugar-Free Chocolate bar, make sure you cut it into really small pieces. This will help in the melting process as some of the chocolates takes a long time to melt.
Add Chocolate into. the Double Boiler and heat up on a low temperature.
Stir, until you get melted chocolate halfway.
Third Step: Coconut Oil
Your coconut oil is preferred at room temperature as this will speed up the melting process as well.
Taken Coconut Oil directly from the fridge will be additionally difficult to measure.
Once you see melted chocolate halfway, add coconut oil in.
Fourth Step: Mix
Using a Double Boiler (or an Instant Pot), melt both, the chocolate and coconut oil stirring regularly.
Make sure everything is fully melted and both the chocolate and coconut oil are fully combined.
Once melted, let the chocolate sauce cool down, otherwise, your ice cream might melt while dipping it into the hot chocolate sauce.
Transfer it into a tall glass, wide enough to dip your particular Keto Dessert in.
Tips and Tricks
Don’t have sugar free chocolate – use 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1/4 cup cocoa powder with 1 Tbsp Sweetener
No Double Boiler – Use Instant Pot with a glass bowl to act as a double boiler. Check for full instruction below
Cooldown – make sure your chocolate sauce is fully cooled, to prevent ice melted while dipping.
Dipping – best to use is a tall, not so wide glass
Berries – if you’re planning to dip berries in, it is better to store them in the fridge until ready to use.
Measurement suggestions – for ice use 3 Tbsp of coconut oil. For Berries 2 Tbsp would be enough as coconut oil melts if not refrigerated.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Using this recipe one simple addition can transform it into a perfect Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup.
Instead of using a double boiler, add our ingredients into a pan and pour ¼ of water or almond milk in. On a low heat cook, until all combines and the sauce will slightly thicken. This will take approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
Let it cool and use.
When your chocolate mixture is melted and slightly cooled, add cream cheese or whipping cream and whisk until all incorporated.
Using a whisk at a high speed will add more volume and fluffiness into the mixture and your ganache will be ready to use.
This Chocolate sauce is perfect to store in a mason jar in your refrigerator.
Bear in mind, that coconut oil hardens in the refrigerator and therefore it will be hard when ready to use.
Just take it out of the fridge and gently warm it up either in the microwave or over a double boiler and you are ready to use.
How to melt chocolate in an Instant Pot is a question lots of readers are enquiring about.
Even though most of us own this super helpful Kitchen Gadget, lots do not know, using it as a double boiler is another advantage Instant Pot has.
Simply add water into the stainless steel bowl and switch the Instant Pot on Saute. This will keep the water warm at all times.
Having the cover from an Instant Pot out, place a glass bowl big enough to hold on top of the inner pot. This will lock the steam coming out and will start warming up your glass bowl.
Add your Chocolate or Chocolate Chips and let them melt stirring regularly. Once you see, the chocolate is melted halfway, add coconut oil and let the Instant Pot cook for a few minutes until all melted and fully combined.
Your Melted Chocolate Sugar-Free Magic Shell is ready to use.

Your recipe for No Carb / Surgar Free Chocolate Magic Shell gives directions to use '1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/4 coco powder, and 1 tablespoon sweetner' - 1 Tablespoon sweetner doesn't seem like enough to make the coco into Chocolate. You needed to provide more information as artificial sweetners like Erythritol crystallize when cooked too hot temperatures. This was information that would have been useful. I got crystallized sweetner instead of Magic Shell.
The page has so many recipes its confusing to follow.

Your recipe for a chocolate bar used only 1/4 cup each oil and cocoa…Do you multiply it times 4 to get a cup?
Zuzana
Tuesday 8th of March 2022
Yes Judie,
Depending on how much would you want to make, you double or triple the amount. I would still suggest making a real chocolate bar with cocoa butter as that gives you a real smooth chocolate consistency.

I can't get my Lilly's chocolate chips with the coconut oil to get hard on product. I use 1/2 cup chocolate chips and usually 2tbsp coconut oil. I am using it on biscotti.

Try to reduce coconut oil. Probably to only 1 tablespoon. This makes the shells softer, but might make it even more as needed.

Do you put it in the fridge? I used coconut oil and chocolate chips. Thanks
Zuzana
Friday 17th of September 2021
Yes, I store it in the fridge. When want to use it again, it needs to be reheated best in a double boiler.

how can you store any left over
Zuzana
Tuesday 29th of June 2021
Air-Tight Container in your Pantry. But must be really Air Tight, otherwise, they start being sticky. I have it stored like this for months to come. But once you take them out, they do get stickier after a while, so take only the amount you will consume.
