Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 egg whites
3/4 cup superfine sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1/2 stick butter, melted
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces dark semisweet chocolate chips, melted in a double boiler
1 pint salted caramel ice cream, slightly thawed
1/2 cup roasted pecans, chopped, for garnish

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, cream and vanilla until combined.
  • Preheat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pan and, with a small offset spatula, 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 minute more. Remove from the pan and immediately hang the pancake over the handle of a wooden spoon to form the taco. Set aside to set, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Dip the tacos in the melted chocolate and return to the wooden spoon. If making ahead of time, refrigerate until needed.
  • Fill the tacos with the softened ice cream and garnish with the chopped pecans.
