Ingredients
  

For the Taco Shell
  • 12 units Waffle Cones Choose traditional cones for best structure.
For the Filling
  • 1 quart Vanilla Ice Cream Can substitute with dairy-free ice cream for a vegan option.
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Any dark or milk chocolate works; melting chips makes coating easier.
For Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Peanuts or Sprinkles Customize with shredded coconut or crushed cookies.

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Large scoop or spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Waffle Cones: Lightly dampen the outer surface of the waffle cones using a misting spray or a damp cloth.
  2. Shape the Taco Shells: Press the sides of each dampened cone to open them into taco shapes.
  3. Fill with Ice Cream: Generously fill each taco shell with vanilla ice cream, packing it tightly.
  4. Melt the Chocolate Chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  5. Coat the Tacos: Dip the top of each filled taco into the melted chocolate, coating well.
  6. Add Toppings: While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your chosen toppings onto the chocolate-coated area.
  7. Chill and Firm Up: Place tacos in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to help the chocolate set.
