Notes
Refined Coconut Oil is the way to go here. It is neutral so it doesn't take away from the taste of the chocolate at all. Additionally, it is important to note that no other oil will work in this recipe, only coconut oil becomes a solid when it hits the ice cream.
Melting the chocolate and coconut oil should happen slowly with a lot of stirring in between intervals. If the chocolate gets over cooked, it will seize, become grainy, and the magic shell won't work the way you want it to.
