Instructions
Creating your own Homemade Choco Tacos can be a delightful experience when you follow these simple steps:
1. Make the Taco Shells:
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
– In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder.
– Add in the melted butter, egg, and milk. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
2. Form the Shells:
– Place small mounds of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them well apart.
– Use the back of a spoon to flatten the mounds into thin circles.
– Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are slightly browned.
3. Shape the Taco Shells:
– While the taco shells are warm, immediately remove them from the oven.
– Gently lift each shell with a spatula and drape them over a rolling pin or a taco stand to shape them like tacos.
– Let them cool completely at room temperature.
4. Melt the Chocolate Coating:
– In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using).
– Heat in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
5. Assemble the Choco Tacos:
– Once the taco shells are cool, scoop your favorite ice cream into each shell, filling until it’s heaped.
– Dip the tops of each filled taco into the melted chocolate and let any excess drip off.
6. Add Toppings:
– Immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings onto the chocolate before it sets.
– Place the assembled tacos on a parchment-lined tray.
7. Freeze:
– Transfer the tray with the tacos to the freezer for at least 2 hours. This will allow the chocolate to harden and the ice cream to firm up.
