Magic Shell – the chocolate topping that hardens on cold things like ice cream – was my favorite ice cream topping growing up. As my kids and I have been rocking my homemade Paleo Ice Cream it was a must-have to create. I included two ways to create it, depending on what ingredients you have on hand and prefer. Both ways only take 5 minutes and do an amazing job jazzing up ice cream. Hooray for easy childhood favorites remade!
