Easy Almond Joy Magic Shell recipe. Made with only 5 ingredients, this quick and simple sweet topping for your ice cream elevates your dessert.
Did you know that Canada doesn’t have Almond Joy candy bars?
I was actually introduced to almond joy bars last week. And I am so sad that I have been missing out on these bars for my entire life. They are quickly becoming one of my favorite candy bars, and now I want to flavor everything with shredded coconut, almonds, and chocolate coating. I am trying to make everything taste like that chocolate bar at this point.
This Almond Joy Magic Shell is everything coconut lovers and chocolate lovers are looking for. It is ready in no time, and the crunchy toppings really takes this to the next level.
Almond Joy Magic Shell Ingredients
You don’t need much to make this chocolate shell. All you need are these 5 ingredients:
- semisweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips)
- coconut oil
- almond extract
- unsweetened coconut
- sliced or chopped almonds
That’s it!
Tips & Variations
Storage: If you have any excess chocolate shell, you can place it in a glass airtight container and allow the melted chocolate to cool at room temperature. I like storing it in either a mason jar or a resealable glass bowl. Then when you are ready to use it again, just heat it in the microwave in 30 second intervals, and mix until smooth.
Switch up the extract. I love the almond flavors the sliced almonds and the almond extract provide. But if you want a more subtle almond taste, replace the almond extract with vanilla extract, or leave it out altogether.
Can I replace the coconut oil with something else? Unfortunately, you cannot replace the coconut oil with any other type of oil. You CAN however replace it with unsalted butter that is all you have on hand.
