Olive Oil Magic Soft Shell Ingredients

Method of Preparation

  1. Add the chopped chocolate or chips to a medium, heat-safe bowl and set it aside. 
  2. Over medium heat, warm the olive oil in a small saucepan until it simmers, which occurs at about 275 degrees. Remove from heat before it starts to boil.
  3. Pour the warm olive oil over the chocolate, and stir until smooth using a silicone spatula or whisk. Stir until smooth—season with salt to taste. 
  4. Spoon it over your favorite cold desserts, like ice cream, great for dipping frozen bananas, or drizzle it over milkshakes!
