Ingredients

Scale

Taco Shells

  • 4 store-bought crunchy tortillas (or homemade shells)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for homemade shells)

Ice Cream Filling

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream (or any flavor of choice)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips or bars (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
  • Optional toppings: 1/4 cup chopped peanuts or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Taco Shells: Gently warm the tortillas with melted butter to make them pliable. Carefully fold or shape them over a taco mold or the edge of a baking tray to form the taco shell shape. Let them cool completely to become crisp and hold their form.
  2. Scoop and Fill with Ice Cream: Once your taco shells are set, scoop your chosen ice cream and fill each shell generously but neatly, making sure not to overfill to avoid messiness.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt your chocolate chips or bars until smooth and glossy. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Dip the Tacos in Chocolate: Hold each filled taco and gently dip one side into the melted chocolate, coating the filling and some of the shell. Quickly add toppings like chopped peanuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the choco tacos on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate or freeze for 15–20 minutes to let the chocolate harden and the dessert firm up.

Notes

  • Don’t heat taco shells too long or they become brittle and crack while shaping.
  • Stir chocolate continuously during melting for smoother consistency and better snap once set.
  • Use ice cream slightly softened for easy scooping but firm enough to avoid melting too quickly during assembly.
  • Add nuts or sprinkles immediately after dipping in chocolate to ensure they stick well.
  • Line trays with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
