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.

CHOCOLATE TACOS

Steps:

• For the shells: Set a large wooden spoon on the counter so that the handle hangs over the edge. Weight the other end of the spoon down with a heavy book or heavy pan; you'll drape the warm shells over the handle to form your tacos.
• Place the egg whites, sugar, milk, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl and whisk together. Stir in the flour and butter until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
• Place a medium nonstick skillet or cast-iron pan over low heat. Scoop 1 generous tablespoon of batter into the skillet and spread into a thin even layer with a small offset spatula. Spread the batter quickly to form a nice round that's roughly 5 inches in diameter. Cook until the underside of the disc is browned and set, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Lift the disc off the griddle and quickly and carefully lay it over the handle of the wooden spoon. Guide the shell with your hands to make sure the sides are even. This must be done quickly as the shell will begin to harden almost immediately after leaving the skillet. Hold the taco for a few seconds until it hardens and then leave it there to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• These taco shells are best eaten the day they are made, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• For the tacos: Bring a medium saucepan filled with a few inches water to a bare simmer. Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over (not in) the simmering water. Cook until the chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring occasionally. (Alternately, place the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 30-second intervals until smooth, stirring between intervals.)
• Dip the edges of a shell in the melted chocolate and sprinkle the chocolate with peanuts. Repeat with the remaining shells and allow to cool.
• Scoop some ice cream into the shells. Drizzle fudge sauce over the ice cream and sprinkle with some more chopped peanuts. Eat straight away, or place filled tacos in the freezer to enjoy later.

DESSERT TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Heat taco shells as directed on box. Meanwhile, in large bowl, gently mix fruit.
• Carefully remove cardboard from ice cream (do not damage cardboard). With serrated knife, cut ice cream into 6 (4x1x1-inch) rectangles. (Reassemble box around remaining ice cream for freezer storage; if necessary, wrap carton in plastic wrap to secure.)
• Place 1 rectangle of ice cream in bottom of each taco shell. Divide fruit mixture evenly over ice cream. Drizzle chocolate topping evenly over fruit. Top with whipped cream and nuts. Serve immediately.
