Looking for a super sweet, non dairy, chocolate covered frozen fruity treat?

Well, today, I have a fun one for you.

Frozen Peaches Dessert Recipe



Lately, whenever I ask what everyone wants from the grocery store, my daughter yells out, Frozen peaches!

Get two or three bags.
At first, her request kind of threw me, since she'd never ever asked for them before.

For smoothies? 

I asked, even though she was wasn't a huge smoothie drinker. 

But, honestly, I couldn't fathom what else she might be making with them.
Turns out I was totally wrong.

She wasn't interested in smoothies.

What she was making was far more decadent and a lot more interesting.

It was part non-dairy treat and part science experiment.

And clearly it required a lot of frozen peaches.

Frozen Peaches

Over the past several years, she's been playing with recipes, especially vegetarian ones and those that don't include dairy.

This one was a homemade non-dairy chocolate magic shell topping and she was putting it on...you guessed it...frozen peaches.

Of course, this recipe will work on any frozen fruit, it's not peach specific. However peaches are her latest snack obsession.

Being a pretty boring and basic omnivore, I'm always intrigued by what's on her plate. I don't eat most of what she makes, but I found this one particularly interesting, so I thought I'd share.

Here's how she did it.

How To Make A Non Dairy Chocolate Magic Shell At Home


Ingredients:

Hard Chocolate Shell Recipe Ingredients

1 Cup Frozen Peaches - or whatever frozen fruit you prefer
1/2 Tbsp Hershey's Cocoa Powder - 100% Cacao Naturally Unsweetened
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Coconut Oil - we use refined for a stronger coconut flavor

*If you do eat dairy, you can make this recipe with melted chocolate chips.

Ok, so first, let's talk about the science part, because without that, this recipe doesn't work.

The magic here comes from the coconut oil.

I don't cook with coconut oil and I've never used it in my beauty routine, so I was shocked the first time I opened the container and realized it's solid.

Coconut Oil Is Solid On A Spoon

Yup. At lower temperatures, coconut oil solidifies. And by lower temperatures, I'm talking about room temperature.

If you want it in a liquid form, you need to heat it.

You see where I'm going with this?

Basically, coconut oil is temperature sensitive, so when you melt it into a warm liquid, as soon as it hits the frozen peaches it solidifies and forms a shell.
Neat, huh?

I thought so, too.

Directions:

To start, place the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl for about 30 seconds until it liquifies.

Mix coconut oil, cocoa powder and sugar

Then stir in the sugar and cocoa and mix well. Once everything is combined, place your frozen peaches on a plate and drizzle the chocolate mixture on them.

The shell should form as soon as the warm liquid hits the frozen fruit.

Drizzle Chocolate On Fruit

The result is a coconutty, chocolatey, fruity treat. Crunchy on the outside, cold and sweet on the inside.

If you want your fruit to be a bit softer, you can let your dessert sit for a few minutes before eating. Otherwise, you can dig in immediately.

As I said before, you can use this trick on any frozen fruit you like.

Strawberries, cherries, bananas, raspberries, oranges...yum.

Non Dairy Magic Shell Recipe

You can enjoy the fruit alone.

Or as a topping on your favorite gelato or cake.

You could even put it on top of some homemade vanilla ice cream.

Because let's face it, you don't have to be non-dairy to enjoy this delicious non-dairy recipe.

And how great is that?

    1. If you ever wanted to try it, use the unrefined coconut oil, Ann, the coconut taste is barely even there.

  8. We've made magic shell with chocolate chips for years, using butter, but I can see how the coconut oil would work too! I've never thought bought using magic shell on frozen fruit before though...it would be wonderful!
