Name of Recipe: Ice Magic TM styleNumber of People: Depends how much you like on your icecreamIngredients:100g dark choc (I used dark cooking choc as it was all I had but I would choose 70% in the future)
50g milk choc ( I used green and blacks milk choc)
5 tspn/20g cold pressed organic virgin coconut oil
1/4 tsp peppermint essence or to taste
Preparation:Break up chocolate place in
and mill on spd 8 for 10-15 sec
Add coconut oil and set TM to 2min 37deg spd1 after 1 min scrape down, add peppermint essence and continue for the remaining min at spd2. This was all I needed to melt and combine but melt for longer if needed.
Pour into a squeezy bottle (I used a BPA free Decor brand bottle i bought at BigW) and serve drizzled over EDC vanilla icecream.
STORE IN THE PANTRY - not the fridge!!Recipe based on Thomas Keller's topping recipe
For plain Ice Magic leave out the peppermint essence. My BIL suggested a mocha one using instant coffe (will try that one next time) The other options for flavours would be to use different essences/flavoured chocolates (alcoholic ones for the adults
)
Let me know if you try it out
I take absolutely no responsibility for the amount of icecream it makes you consume either lol
Tips/Hints:The mixture does (like store bought Ice Magic from what I can remember of it) go firm in the colder weather so just sit the squeeze bottle in some warm water to make it sqeezeable again
Photos:Members' commentsChelsea - I made a batch of this earlier in the week. It was lovely when first made but wouldn't turn back to the liquid state again after being put in the fridge. I ran it under warm water the next day for 5 minutes and it was still a very solid block in the squeezy container so I couldn't use it. The day after that I sat it in a jug of warm water for 30 minutes before I needed it and it still wouldn't melt. In the end I got frustrated and put it in the microwave for 15 seconds and of course burnt the chocolate. I followed the recipe exactly and am not sure why it didn't work. Perhaps more coconut oil?
Meagan - Sorry Chelsea I leave mine in the pantry not the fridge. I have added that to the recipe, but maybe it does need more coconut oil. I will look at mine now. Ok yep bottle was quite firm from the pantry, put in in a tall jug filled with slightly cooled kettle water and it remelted, took a while but we used to have to do that years ago when we ate ice magic DH reminded me ( pre children and TM lol )
MJ - Copha is coconut oil with added lecithin, so you could use it. I'd use 1/2 ricebran or grapeseed oil and 1/2 coconut instead perhaps.
Nikkit - it was too yummy and that batch is all gone and we'll have to make more. Thank goodness we ran out of ice cream!
Definitely a keeper.
Lilli33 - We use to put ice magic in the microwave for 10 secs or so if it was firm from the pantry. That should be doable here too. I think I might have to try this this week...
faffa - Meagan!!! I have been resisting this recipe knowing what my lot are like, finally gave in after some more badgering ... IT IS FANTASTIC ,well done.
dragongirly - Hi Meagan - this recipe is made of awesome! Have indulged myself with ice magic tonight - fantastic. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Tasty - I just wanted to know is it ok to double this recipe and how about if i used all of a 200g block of cooking choc (200g) instead of just 150g. Will it still work?
Meagan - I would put a bit more oil in to compensate for the extra chocolate.
