CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ICE CREAM TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the taco shells: in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until combined.
• Add the milk, vanilla, and butter, and whisk until fully incorporated.
• Sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth.
• Heat a small non-stick pan over medium-low heat, then add ⅓ cup (95 g) of batter at a time and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly like a crepe.
• Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the batter is set, about 6-8 minutes. Flip the taco shell and cook on other side for another 3-4 minutes, until cooked through.
• If desired, remove the taco shell from pan and place on a grated cooling rack while still hot. Place a sheet of parchment over the shell and press into the rack, allowing the grate marks to set into the shell. Rotate the shell 90 degrees and press the cone into the grates again for a waffled look. Or, skip to the next step.
• Place the taco shells between the cups of an inverted muffin tin to form their shape. Let set for about 10 minutes, then freeze for 20 minutes to harden.
• Make the magic shell: combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and shiny.
• Remove the taco shells from the freezer and use a spoon to coat the inside of each taco shell with melted magic shell. Return to the freezer for 20 minutes, until the magic shell hardens. Reserve the leftover magic shell.
• Add the ice cream to a piping bag fitted with a round tip or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
• Remove the shells from the freezer and pipe in the ice cream, filling the tacos. Smooth out the tops with a knife or rubber spatula. Freeze for 2 hours.
• Microwave the reserved magic shell, if needed, to re-melt. Remove the tacos from the freezer and dip the tops of each taco in the magic shell, then immediately sprinkle with the crushed peanuts.
• Serve immediately or return to the freezer until ready to eat.
• Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE-COVERED ICE CREAM TACOS

Steps:

• First, gather six to eight 1-inch-thick hardcover books and wipe the spines and covers clean (you could also cover them in parchment paper). Set them up vertically, spine up, so that they can be your taco shell molds.
• For the taco shells: To make the taco shell batter, whisk together the flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter to a separate bowl and whisk in the milk, vanilla extract and almond extract. Then whisk in the egg whites. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to form a smooth batter.
• To cook the shells, heat a skillet over medium heat. Grease it with butter and then spoon in 2 1/2 tablespoons of batter. Spread it out gently with the back of a spoon or offset spatula so you have an even circle. Cook until slightly brown on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until slightly brown on the second side, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove it from the skillet and gently fold it over the spine of the book to make a taco shell shape. Let cool on the book. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• For the fillings and toppings: To make the chocolate topping, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted. Let the chocolate cool slightly before topping the tacos.
• Let the ice cream soften a bit, fill the taco shells, drizzle with as much chocolate as you wish, top with nuts and enjoy! If you're making these in advance, stick them in the freezer, uncovered, for a few minutes until the chocolate hardens, and then wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until you're ready to eat them.

CHOCOLATE-ICE CREAM TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Make 6 foil balls, and fold tortillas over balls to create taco shapes; place on cookie sheet. Bake tortillas about 10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Cool. Place cooled pan of tortillas in freezer 10 to 15 minutes or until cold.
• Meanwhile, in medium microwavable bowl, heat chocolate chips and oil in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Spoon or brush melted chocolate mixture on inside of each shell to coat. Place back on tray and freeze another 10 to 15 minutes or until cold and chocolate is hardened. Reserve remaining chocolate.
• While chocolate hardens, let ice cream soften a bit. Once shells are cold, they are ready to fill with ice cream. Fill each shell to the edges with ice cream, being careful not to break the shell. The chocolate may crack a bit, but that's okay. Place the ice cream-filled tacos back on the tray in the freezer 1 to 2 hours or until ice cream is very firm.
• Reheat reserved chocolate coating in microwave 30 to 60 seconds as necessary. Pour chocolate into wide container, like a small loaf pan. Remove ice cream tacos from freezer and, working quickly, dip each taco into the chocolate coating, being sure to seal in the ice cream completely, and add candy sprinkles. Place back on parchment-lined cookie sheet, and freeze another 2 hours or until firm before serving.

ICE CREAM TACOS WITH CHOCOLATE AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• Brush insides of waffle bowls with maple syrup. Working one at a time, invert waffle bowl onto a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat in microwave 30 seconds; waffle will soften and flatten. Immediately mold waffle into a hard taco shell shape with your hands. Let rest until set, about 2 minutes.
• Carefully fill waffles with ice cream (about 6 Tbsp. per taco); smooth surface with the back of a spoon or offset spatula. Transfer to a plate or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Combine chocolate and oil in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring occasionally. Stir in peanuts.
• Working one at a time, roll ice cream side of taco into melted chocolate to completely cover ice cream. Return tacos to plate and freeze again until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Tacos can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

CHOCOLATE TACOS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar and beat with a whisk until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt, melted butter, heavy cream and vanilla with a rubber spatula until combined.
• Prop up each end of a long wooden spoon on a can or bowl (you'll use this to shape the taco shells). Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat; coat with cooking spray. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan; use a small offset spatula to spread the batter into an even 4- to 5-inch pancake. Cook on the first side until golden brown at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the reverse side, about 1 more minute. Remove from the pan and immediately drape the pancake over the wooden spoon. Set aside to set, about 5 minutes. Repeat to make 8 to 10 tacos, wiping out the skillet and adding more cooking spray as needed.
• Put the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water; stir until melted. Dip the edges of the taco shells in the melted chocolate and return to the wooden spoon; let set, about 5 minutes. (If making in advance, refrigerate until ready to serve.) Fill the taco shells with ice cream and garnish with some chopped pecans.

CHURRO TACOS WITH MEXICAN CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the salt, 1/4 cup sugar and 2 1/4 cups water to the butter and remove from the heat. Stir in flour with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and a dough is formed. Transfer to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, then add the eggs one at a time, beating on medium speed, followed by the vanilla.
• Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and set aside. Cut parchment paper into 5-inch squares and place them on a sheet tray. Pipe a cookie-sized round of the churro batter onto each parchment square, then freeze for 1 hour.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. Fit a rack inside a sheet tray.
• Combine the cinnamon with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Carefully slide half the frozen churros off the parchment paper into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes, then transfer to the rack. Sprinkle each churro with the cinnamon-sugar mixture immediately after removing them from the fryer.
• Top each churro with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of dulce de leche, if using.

CINCO DE MAYO CHOCOLATE CHIP TACOS

Steps:

• For the Mexican Cinnamon Ice Cream:.
• Empty the contents of the condensed milk into a medium bowl. Add the cinnamon and salt and stir to combine.
• Pour the cream into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form; the cream should hold its shape and form soft ribbons upon itself.
• Remove about one third of the cream and stir it into the condensed milk, to "lighten" the mixture.
• Scrape the rest of the cream into the bowl and gently fold with a rubber spatula until the mixture is uniform.
• Pour the ice cream base into a loaf pan or other shallow but wide baking dish or bowl. Freeze overnight.
• For the chocolate chip cookies:.
• Preheat oven 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Then, add the egg and vanilla and scrape down the bowl.
• On low speed, add the flour mixture in two installments and mix until just incorporated.
• Next, add the chocolate and mix until evenly distributed.
• Scoop by rounded tablespoons onto two parchment-lined cookie sheets. Press the balls of dough down with your hands slightly to make a 2" disk.
• Sprinkle the tops of each cookies with a few flakes of the Maldon salt.
• Bake for 7 to 10 minutes until the edges are just slightly brown but the centers of the cookies are a little loose, This will ensure the cookies will still be soft when frozen. Let cool on the pan.
• To assemble:.
• Once the cookies are completely cooled, place half of them bottom side up on a sheet or dish that will fit in your freezer.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer and scoop a large mound onto one cookie; I like to use a 3-ounce ice cream scoop.
• Working quickly, place the remaining cookies on top of the ice cream and place back in the freezer. If you feel safer, do this in small batches so the ice cream doesn't melt.
• Let the sandwiches freeze at least 4 hours, if not overnight.
• To finish, gently melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave.
• Stir in the oil. Line a sheet, dish or plate (that will fit in your freezer) with parchment or wax paper.
• Working with a few cookies at a time, cut the cookies in half. It is best to do this with the cookie standing up, this way the ice cream will not smoosh out.
• Dip or smear the cut side of the sandwich in the chocolate; let the excess drip off or wipe it on the side of the bowl.
• Place the taco, chocolate side down on the prepared pan and place in freezer. Repeat until all the tacos are done, keeping an eye on the ice cream to make sure it's not melting!
• Let firm in the freezer for 2 hours.
• Garnish your tacos as you see fit: chopped nuts, toasted coconut, sprinkles, crushed cinnamon candies, pop rocks -- anything that screams FIESTA to you.

CHOCOLATE TACOS

Steps:

• Make the shells first. Use finely ground flax seed and soak in water for about twenty minutes, until gooey. In a food processor with an "S" blade, puree the bananas until smooth. Add in the soaked flax and salt and process briefly. Spread in eight circles on lined dehydrator trays. Let dehydrate for about an hour, until dry to the touch on the side facing up. Flip and peel the sheet away. Let dry another couple hours. Then, gently fold in half. Use a twisted piece of wax paper to make a brace to hold the taco shell slightly open. Let dry this way for another couple hours. Let cool to room temperature. Make the banana ice cream. Combine all the ingredients in the food processor and puree until very smooth. Then put in an ice cream maker and process until like soft serve. Freeze. The nut cream is just the ingredients pureed in a bullet type blender until smooth. Refrigerate. It will thicken some as it cools. The chocolate sauce is just cacao powder, agave, and either olive oil or coconut oil stirred together. Coconut oil will make a hard chocolatey shell; olive oil will stay liquid. Either way is really good. To assemble, spoon the ice cream into the shells, add a dollop of nut cream, a few walnuts and strawberries, and a drizzle of sauce. You can add a bit of heat to any chocolate ice cream by adding a big pinch of cayenne before processing. It adds heat without changing the flavor much.
