  • Use immediately by pouring the magic shell overtop of the ice cream.

Notes

  • You do need both the tablespoon and half a teaspoon of coconut oil, otherwise the caramel shell won't harden as well.
  • The recipes make only about ⅛th of a cup. Thus, if you have a larger family or need these for a party, double the batches!
  • When heating the coconut oil, make sure to do it on a lower heat and then whisk in the remaining ingredients. Nut butter burns easily, but you do need the coconut oil hot, so that it hardens.
  • Ideally, you want a bit of a runny texture to the caramel sauce.
  • If using the magic shell with an ice cream cone, pour it very slowly over parchment paper. The magic shell takes a few seconds to harden, so it can be messy (a bowl is best!)
  • Nutrition facts are calculated at one tablespoon per serving.
