Step 1

In a microwave safe bowl place your chocolate and coconut oil. Place into a microwave for 30 seconds on high to melt together.

Step 2

Remove from microwave and give a good stir, ensuring your get all the chocolate from the bottom and corners. Pop back into the microwave for another 30 seconds.

Step 3

Repeat steps until you have a silky, chocolate mixture. If you want to add any essence or extracts do so now. Be sure to only add a drop or two, you won't need much in terms of flavour. But if you add too much you'll seize your chocolate.

Step 4

If chocolate thickens a little too much and it no longer runs smoothly after you add your essence you can add another 1/2 tsp of coconut oil and stir together until it melts (do not place in the microwave again).

Step 5

Use immediately! Pour over a big bowl of your choice of gluten and/or dairy free ice cream and within seconds it will harden to that famous chocolate shell! Finish with sprinkles, 100s and 1000s, chopped nuts or any other type of topping you like!
