Instructions
Making your very own Homemade Choco Tacos is a simple and enjoyable process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you succeed:
1. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until a smooth dough forms.
3. Shape the Taco Shells: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray. Take a small amount of dough (approximately 1 tablespoon) and flatten it into an oval shape. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until set but not overly browned.
4. Form the Tacos: While the shells are still warm, gently bend them to create the taco shape. You can use the rim of a bowl or mold to make sure they hold their shape. Let them cool and harden for about 10 minutes.
5. Fill with Ice Cream: After the taco shells have cooled completely, take your preferred ice cream flavor and fill each shell generously. Pack it in well, so it doesn’t fall out.
6. Freeze the Tacos: Place your filled Choco Tacos in the freezer for 2 hours, ensuring they set completely.
7. Coat in Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips along with coconut oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth. Dip the tops of each Choco Taco into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Optionally, sprinkle toppings right away before the chocolate cools.
8. Final Freeze: Return the tacos to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate coating to firm up.
