This is a fantastically easy, amazing recipe. The result is runny chocolate that stays pourable for ages, yet hardens on contact with very cold ice cream. It is like Ice Magic except in large quantities. I used it to coat my individual layered ice cream cakes that were made in muffin pans. I was able to paint the chocolate on with a silicone brush and had plenty of working time.
