CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ICE CREAM TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY



Chocolate-Dipped Ice Cream Tacos Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, unsalted butter, all purpose flour, cocoa powder, good-quality chocolate, coconut oil, vanilla ice cream, salted peanut

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large eggs
½ cup sugar
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup unsalted butter, 1/4 stick, melted
½ cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
18 oz good-quality chocolate, finely chopped
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
1 cup salted peanut, crushed

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



Chocolate-Covered Ice Cream Tacos image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg whites
10 ounces dark chocolate chips
3 tablespoons coconut oil
4 cups ice cream (original Choco Tacos have fudge-swirled vanilla ice cream, but feel free to use any flavor)
1/2 cup crushed nuts, plus any other desired toppings like sprinkles

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ice cream that is firm enough to hold its shape. Softer ice cream will be more difficult to work with and may fall apart easily.
  • If you don't have a taco mold, you can make your own by rolling a sheet of parchment paper into a cone shape and securing it with tape.
  • Be careful not to overfill the taco molds with ice cream. Leave a little space at the top so that the ice cream can expand as it freezes.
  • Freeze the ice cream tacos for at least 4 hours before serving. This will give them time to firm up and hold their shape.
  • You can decorate the ice cream tacos with any toppings you like, such as chocolate sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Ice cream crunch tacos are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of this classic dessert. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give ice cream crunch tacos a try!
