Booze in magic shell?

[paulraphael]

I need to make something for a party and don't have time to experiment. I'm wondering adding some cognac to homemade magic shell will cause it to seize. 

 

My recipe:

 

125g dark chocolate

100g refined coconut oil

33g trimoline

 

There's a little water in the trimoline, which doesn't seem to cause any problems. Any sense of how much cognac could reasonably be emulsified into this? I probably wouldn't want to go past 5%.

 I think you’ll have to do the experiment

No, but I am interested.  Been making magic shell for years, but the a 3:2 chocolate to oil mixture.   Even grownups love to watch the liquid suddenly harden.  

 

Also...have no cognac in the house.

Interesting about the ratio. I forget how I arrived at mine, but most of the sources online use much less oil, which I'd welcome. At 3:2, is it completely liquid at room temperature?

 

Re: cognac ... any booze should be similar.
