Just add your chocolate chips and coconut oil (solid) to a microwave safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second bursts.

Be sure to stir after each heating, it shouldn’t really take longer than about 60 seconds. If too thick, add an additional tablespoon of coconut oil. Heat and stir until completely smooth.
Stir in vanilla bean paste and salt, stir to combine.

Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then spoon onto ice cream of choice! Even better, try it drizzled over my easy ice cream cake or Mile High Mud Pie! Oh MY!

Store in an airtight container at room temperature, stir well before topping on ice cream again.
