For the Waffle Cone Shells
  • 4 pieces Waffle Cones Ensure they are slightly damp for pliability.

  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Substitute with dark chocolate for a richer taste.

Equipment

  • freezer-safe container
  • Kitchen tap or damp cloth

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Choco Tacos
  1. Begin by lightly dampening your waffle cones under a kitchen tap or using a damp cloth to help in shaping without cracking. Bend each cone into a taco shape and hold while it sets.
  2. Scoop generous portions of vanilla ice cream into each taco-shaped waffle cone, packing it down firmly to avoid air pockets. Aim for a nice dome on top.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Dip the tops of the cones in the warm chocolate until fully coated.
  4. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle crushed peanuts over the chocolate-dipped part of the cones. Work quickly as the chocolate will start hardening.
  5. Place your assembled Choco Tacos upright in a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least one hour until the chocolate is set and the ice cream is firm.

Notes

Lightly dampening waffle cones prevents cracking and ensures they're easy to shape. Work quickly with toppings as they stick best to warm chocolate.
