ICE CREAM TACOS

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 quarts dulce de leche or caramel ice cream
6 crunchy taco shells
8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup salted roasted pepitas, chopped

Steps:

  • Scoop the ice cream 3 scoops at a time into a large piping bag and use your hands to warm the ice cream slightly. Fill a taco shell with ice cream almost to the top, then squeeze the shell a bit to compress the ice cream and push it even with the rim of the shell. Put the filled shell back in the freezer, then continue with the remaining taco shells and ice cream, refilling the piping bag as needed. Freeze until the ice cream is solid again, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt the chocolate and 1/2 cup of the cream in a double boiler. Stir until smooth and shiny. If it is too thick (depending on the chocolate brand), add a bit more cream--the chocolate mixture should cling to the taco when dipped, but not run right off. Dip the top of each taco in the chocolate. Fill in any empty spots by spooning on additional chocolate and spreading it. Let any excess drip off, then roll each in the chopped pepitas while the chocolate is still setting. Freeze again to set the chocolate, about 30 minutes.

ICE CREAM TACO RECIPE



Ice Cream Taco Recipe image

Homemade ice cream tacos are the perfect summertime ice cream on-the-go treat.

Provided by Leah Maroney

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 (6-inch) flour tortillas
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
6 scoops vanilla ice cream (or other ice cream of your choice)
Garnish: sprinkles

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make 6 foil logs that are large enough so that the tortillas can drape over them to form a taco shell shape. Lay them on the parchment paper and drape the tortillas over each log.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave. Brush the butter over the top of each tortilla. Then sprinkle each tortilla with the sugar.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Remove them from the oven and allow to cool. Then place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until very cold.
  • Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 second increments, stirring in between until it is completely smooth and melted.
  • Remove the bowl from the microwave and brush the melted chocolate on the inside of each shell until coated. Place the shells back in the freezer and freeze for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
  • While the shells are hardening again, take the ice cream out of the freezer and allow it to soften slightly. Fill each shell with a large scoop of ice cream to the top edge of the shell. Squeeze the shell slightly to disperse the ice cream, being careful not to break the shell.
  • Place it back onto the baking sheet and freeze again for 1 to 2 hours, until very firm.
  • Reheat the chocolate in 30 second increments until melted. Pour it into a loaf pan. Dip the top of each taco in the chocolate quickly, covering the ice cream and the top edges of the shell. You need to work quickly so that the ice cream does not mess. Spoon more onto the top of the tacos if needed and then sprinkle generously with sprinkles .
  • Place them back on the parchment paper and freeze again until the chocolate is completely hardened and then serve.

CHOCOLATE-ICE CREAM TACOS



Chocolate-Ice Cream Tacos image

Make a homemade version of the ice cream truck favorite with only a few ingredients.

Provided by By Cindy Rahe

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 Old El Paso™ flour tortillas for soft tacos & fajitas (6 inch)
1 bag (10 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
About 6 scoops vanilla ice cream
Candy sprinkles, as desired

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.

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!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ice cream. The ice cream is the star of the show in these tacos, so make sure you use a flavor that you love. Some good options include vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and cookies and cream.
  • Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit adds a refreshing sweetness and crunch to the tacos. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and bananas.
  • Don't overfill the tacos. Too much ice cream and fruit will make the tacos difficult to eat. Aim for a moderate amount of filling so that the tacos are easy to hold and eat.
  • Serve the tacos immediately. Ice cream tacos are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the freezer for up to 2 hours. When you're ready to serve, let them thaw for a few minutes before eating.

Conclusion:

Ice cream tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give ice cream tacos a try!
