📝 Preparation Steps
1
Double boiler method: Fill the bottom of a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Place chopped chocolate or chips in a dry, heat-proof glass or ceramic bowl that is slightly larger than the saucepan. The bowl should sit on top of pan without its bottom touching the water.
2
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Place the bowl of chocolate over the saucepan of water. Heat the chocolate, stirring occasionally with a dry rubber spatula, until chocolate is mostly smooth and melted, 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and continue stirring until the residual heat melts the remaining chocolate and mixture is smooth (return bowl to saucepan, if needed). Stir in coconut oil until melted and combined, if desired.
3
Microwave method: Alternatively, place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate is almost smooth with some unmelted bits remaining. Remove the chocolate from microwave. Stir until the residual heat fully melts chocolate and the mixture is smooth (microwave an additional ⏱️ 15 seconds, if needed). Stir in the coconut oil until combined, if desired.
