Ice Cream Tacos are a fun and creative dessert perfect for parties, summer gatherings, or simply satisfying your sweet tooth. Crispy taco shells filled with creamy ice cream and topped with chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and sprinkles make this treat both delicious and visually stunning.
Ingredients
For the Tacos
- 6 small waffle cones (flattened into taco shapes) or store-bought taco shells
- 1 pint of your favorite ice cream flavors (e.g., vanilla, chocolate, strawberry)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for dipping)
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
For the Toppings
- Chocolate syrup or caramel drizzle
- Whipped cream
- Sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
If using waffle cones, heat them slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable. Gently shape them into taco shells and let them cool and harden.
Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Dip the edges of the taco shells into the melted chocolate and set them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to harden.
Let the ice cream soften slightly, then scoop it into the prepared taco shells, filling each one generously. Place the filled tacos in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Before serving, drizzle the tacos with chocolate syrup or caramel sauce. Top with whipped cream, sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for Success
Work quickly when filling the tacos to prevent the ice cream from melting. Use a variety of ice cream flavors to make the tacos more colorful and fun. Freeze the tacos on a baking sheet to keep them upright while they firm up.
