Ice cream topping

 

Good morning on this pleasant August day.  Today I'm telling you all about a new addition to the menu.  I've been having fun with ice cream toppings for a while.  And now we have a chocolate candy shell on the menu for your ice cream enjoyment.

This is not hot fudge sauce.  This is very simply a liquified chocolate concoction that you pour over your ice cream and it very quickly firms up to form a moderately firm shell over it.  It tastes great, and it's a nice texture coating for your creamy dessert.  In the fridge, it's firm.  Set it out on the counter and it softens. If it's a warm enough day, it will liquify nicely.  But chances are you will want to microwave it for 10 seconds or so, give it a quick stir and then pour it over slowly.  The cold of the ice cream will make it set very quickly as it pours.  

You can also dip an ice cream cone into it to create a dipped cone, or even to just coat the top of a cone in which you will place scoops of ice cream.

The secret to this is the balance of chocolate and coconut oil.

It's on the menu now and will be on a weekly offering soon.

Summer may be ending soon, but ice cream season never ends.
