    Tonia’s Notes

    I’ve always been a huge fan of chocolate-dipped cones from DQ. We have a funny story about Brian going to buy me one in the middle of a summer heatwave in a car without air conditioning because I was having a pregnancy craving! It was a huge mess, but a very loving gesture.

    I made this white chocolate shell recipe as a topping for my churro ice cream tacos. We love that it only takes a couple of minutes to prepare and is delicious on many flavors of ice cream.

    Recipe Tips

    • Thickness: You can adjust the thickness of this ice cream shell by adding more or less of the ingredients. If it is too thick, add more coconut oil, and if it is too thin, add more white chocolate chips.
    • Make Ahead: Since this recipe is so easy to make, you don’t necessarily have to make it ahead of time. However, if you’re making it for an ice cream social or party, you can definitely prepare it ahead of time.
    • Refrigerator: Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
    • Reheat: When you want to use it again, reheat it in a microwave-safe container in the microwave.
