This is great. I have been trying for the past 15 year to figure out how to make an incredible dessert that I had at a wedding at The St. Regis Hotel in New York. It consisted of a beautiful basket made of marzipan with “golf ball” sized balls of sherbet in it. The balls had obviously been dipped in some kind of “magic shell” to match the flavor of the sherbet. So if the flavor of the sherbet was orange the shell was orange. Classy great tasting dessert. I can’t wait to try out this recipe.

What a great recipe! I always thought I could taste coconut oil in the Magic Shell texture..and now I see why! It makes sense to get that runny texture that you need. Perfect. -Sylvia Seiko Space Walk Watches

A good cold processed coconut oil is naturally antibacterial, therefore has no need for preservatives.

It is so yummy and no waxy film on the roof of my mouth.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a guaranteed place to get refined coconut oil. I’ve only been able to find 1 brand at one of my local grocery stores and it was organic at $9 a jar.

If anyone is looking for a plastic squeeze bottle for storage you can find 12oz bottles at bed bath & beyond for $1.99 a piece. However these do not come with caps. I’m not sure what the shelf life is for homemade Magic Shell (without the preservatives of the real stuff), but it can’t last too long exposed to the open air. As an alternative, you could visit your local craft store. They have squeeze bottles there for various kids’ projects (paints, candies, etc) which come with the caps.

Bravo- this recipe is awesome! I haven’t eaten MS in years because it has so many artificial ingredients. I have to admit I was skeptical but this recipe delivers. Great with dark chocolate but skip the bacon!
