Recipe Notes:

This "recipe" can so easily be customized. If you want a thinner shell, add a little more oil. If you want a thicker shell, add more chocolate chips.

Technically you can use refined or unrefined coconut oil. Just know that using the unrefined kind will give you a hint of coconut flavor - which may or may not be what you want with your ice cream.
