History
[edit]In Australia, where the product was first invented, it is made by Cottees; called Ice Magic, it is sold in chocolate, mint chocolate, honeycomb chocolate, and strawberry flavors. It is not to be stored in a refrigerator, as it may harden, and will not pour.
In the UK, the product was available as Bird's Ice Magic.[1]
The "shell" effect in Magic Shell is due to the presence ofcoconut oilandsunflower oil,both of which contain high amounts of saturated fat, and sugar, which produces a chocolate mixture which is solid at higher temperatures than would otherwise be the case with normal ice cream topping.[citation needed]
