Why You’ll Love Magic Shell Smoothie Bowl
This Magic Shell Smoothie Bowl uses a healthy “nice cream” as its base, which you can enjoy on its own or top with a 🍫 chocolatey shell that’s irresistible! This nice cream will be your new go-to as it totally satisfies the ice cream craving, but it’s dairy-free and plant-based, with no added sugar at all. The true star is the chocolate shell. It takes this into decadence territory, with its chocolatey sweetness and crisp snap after a quick 🧊 freeze. It’s the perfect individual dessert.
How to Prepare
🌀 In a high-power blender, blend the frozen bananas with the nut milk and vanilla, adding more milk as needed, a small dash at a time, until the desired ice cream-like consistency is reached. 🍌 Pour the contents of the blender into a bowl and then smooth out the “nice cream.” 💧 Create a double-boiler by filling a medium pot with 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. 🥣 Place a heatproof bowl on top of the pot (be sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the simmering water.) 🥥 Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to the bowl and stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted. 🍫 Now, pour the melted chocolate over the nice cream. I swirl it around so it makes an even layer. 🧊 Freeze the bowl of nice cream for 5 to 10 minutes, until the chocolate has solidified. Top the Magic Shell Smoothie Bowl with nuts (if using) and crack it open with a spoon. Enjoy!
