Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
  • ⅓ cup refined coconut oil (melted)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Be sure to start with warm or room-temperature ingredients for the best results. Combine the cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • When no clumps remain, the magic shell is ready to use immediately. Serve it over your favorite ice cream, and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also store it in the fridge for up to 1 month, but you'll need to warm it up to make it pour-able again.
