Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

4 waffle cones or waffle wraps
2 cups vanilla ice cream slightly softened
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil or butter

Equipment

Waffle maker or skillet
Spatula
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Freezer-safe tray

Method

Prepare the shells: Warm the waffle cones or wraps slightly until flexible. Gently shape them into a taco form and let cool completely.
Freeze the shells: Place shaped shells on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15 minutes.
Fill with ice cream: Spoon softened ice cream into each shell, pressing gently to fill evenly.
Freeze again: Return filled shells to the freezer for at least 1 hour until firm.
Make chocolate coating: Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (or butter) until smooth.
Dip or drizzle: Dip the top of each frozen choco taco into melted chocolate or drizzle generously.
Final freeze: Freeze for 30 minutes until chocolate sets.

Notes

Work quickly when dipping to prevent melting.
Store wrapped individually in the freezer for best texture.
Best enjoyed within 3-4 days for maximum crunch and creaminess.
