Taco Ice Cream Dessert Recipes

ICE CREAM TACOS

Steps:

• Sprinkle one side of each tortilla with cinnamon. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add tortillas, one at a time, cinnamon side up. When tortilla starts to brown, fold into a taco shape; drain on paper towels. , In the same skillet, cook and stir pecans for 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. In a small bowl, stir coconut and food coloring until coconut is evenly tinted. Place two small scoops of ice cream in each tortilla shell; top with whipped topping, cherries, pecans and coconut.

DESSERT TACO BAR

Steps:

• Cut six 4-inch circles of parchment paper. Prop up an oven rack on the counter, using cans of vegetables or beans; the rack should be elevated a few inches.
• Melt the marshmallows and butter together in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the cornflakes. Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet.
• Using the parchment circles as stencils, cut the corn treats into circles with a paring knife. Leaving the parchment on, mold the circles into a taco shape. Place the tacos, parchment down, into the oven rack so that the bottom of the tacos touch the countertop. (If they don't touch, lay the cans on their sides to lower the rack.) Let the tacos set up for 5 to 10 minutes, or until dried and crisp.
• Once the tacos are hardened, fill them with ice cream using a 2-tablespoon scoop, then sprinkle with rice cereal. Freeze until ready to serve. (When freezing, it's best to arrange the tacos snugly in a baking dish so they stand upright.)
• To serve, set up a toppings bar of diced strawberries, whipped cream, green shredded coconut and yellow and orange chocolate candies. Invite everyone top their taco with their favorite fixings.

GIANT ICE CREAM TACO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the cookie mix as the label directs for drop cookies, mixing in the cornmeal. Roll out into a 13-inch round on floured parchment paper; trim into a 12-inch circle with a paring knife.
• Cut the cookie in half with the paring knife to make 2 semicircles, then use kitchen shears to cut through the parchment so each semicircle is on its own piece of parchment.
• Slide 1 semicircle (on the parchment) onto a rimmed baking sheet. Press the straight edge of the semicircle up against the rim as shown. Slide the other semicircle flat onto a separate baking sheet. Bake until golden, 12 minutes.
• Remove the cookies from the oven. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to shape the edge of the curved cookie. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets.
• Put the curved cookie on a clean parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut the ice cream out of the carton; slide onto the cookie. Use plastic wrap to gently press the ice cream so that it goes almost to the edge.
• Sprinkle the side of the ice cream with the cereal, pressing to adhere. Transfer to the freezer.
• To make "lettuce," combine the coconut with 3 drops green food coloring, 1 drop yellow food coloring and a small splash of water in a resealable plastic bag; shake and massage until the coconut is light green.
• Slice the Circus Peanuts into thin strips to look like shredded cheese; chop the cherries for the tomatoes.
• Sprinkle the coconut, Circus Peanuts and cherries over the cereal. Place the other cookie on top of the ice cream so the two cookie edges line up. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.

ICE CREAM TACO RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make 6 foil logs that are large enough so that the tortillas can drape over them to form a taco shell shape. Lay them on the parchment paper and drape the tortillas over each log.
• Melt the butter in the microwave. Brush the butter over the top of each tortilla. Then sprinkle each tortilla with the sugar.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Remove them from the oven and allow to cool. Then place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until very cold.
• Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 second increments, stirring in between until it is completely smooth and melted.
• Remove the bowl from the microwave and brush the melted chocolate on the inside of each shell until coated. Place the shells back in the freezer and freeze for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
• While the shells are hardening again, take the ice cream out of the freezer and allow it to soften slightly. Fill each shell with a large scoop of ice cream to the top edge of the shell. Squeeze the shell slightly to disperse the ice cream, being careful not to break the shell.
• Place it back onto the baking sheet and freeze again for 1 to 2 hours, until very firm.
• Reheat the chocolate in 30 second increments until melted. Pour it into a loaf pan. Dip the top of each taco in the chocolate quickly, covering the ice cream and the top edges of the shell. You need to work quickly so that the ice cream does not mess. Spoon more onto the top of the tacos if needed and then sprinkle generously with sprinkles .
• Place them back on the parchment paper and freeze again until the chocolate is completely hardened and then serve.

MINI DESSERT TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon together in a bowl until smooth.
• Cut 3-inch circles out of each tortilla using a round cookie cutter. Fold tortilla rounds into a taco-shell shape.
• Hold folded tortilla with tongs and cook in the preheated oil until the taco shape holds and tortilla is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer cooked tortilla to a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining tortilla rounds.
• Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over cooked tortilla rounds. Spread cream cheese mixture into each shell; top with grapes and strawberries.

ICE CREAM SUNDAE TACO DELIGHT

Steps:

• Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, about 1 minute.
• Dip ends of taco shell into the melted chocolate. Dip in sprinkles. Scoop ice cream into taco shell. Top with candy-coated chocolate, chocolate sauce, caramel, whipped topping, and maraschino cherry.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ICE CREAM TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the taco shells: in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until combined.
• Add the milk, vanilla, and butter, and whisk until fully incorporated.
• Sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth.
• Heat a small non-stick pan over medium-low heat, then add ⅓ cup (95 g) of batter at a time and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly like a crepe.
• Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the batter is set, about 6-8 minutes. Flip the taco shell and cook on other side for another 3-4 minutes, until cooked through.
• If desired, remove the taco shell from pan and place on a grated cooling rack while still hot. Place a sheet of parchment over the shell and press into the rack, allowing the grate marks to set into the shell. Rotate the shell 90 degrees and press the cone into the grates again for a waffled look. Or, skip to the next step.
• Place the taco shells between the cups of an inverted muffin tin to form their shape. Let set for about 10 minutes, then freeze for 20 minutes to harden.
• Make the magic shell: combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and shiny.
• Remove the taco shells from the freezer and use a spoon to coat the inside of each taco shell with melted magic shell. Return to the freezer for 20 minutes, until the magic shell hardens. Reserve the leftover magic shell.
• Add the ice cream to a piping bag fitted with a round tip or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
• Remove the shells from the freezer and pipe in the ice cream, filling the tacos. Smooth out the tops with a knife or rubber spatula. Freeze for 2 hours.
• Microwave the reserved magic shell, if needed, to re-melt. Remove the tacos from the freezer and dip the tops of each taco in the magic shell, then immediately sprinkle with the crushed peanuts.
• Serve immediately or return to the freezer until ready to eat.
• Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE-ICE CREAM TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Make 6 foil balls, and fold tortillas over balls to create taco shapes; place on cookie sheet. Bake tortillas about 10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Cool. Place cooled pan of tortillas in freezer 10 to 15 minutes or until cold.
• Meanwhile, in medium microwavable bowl, heat chocolate chips and oil in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Spoon or brush melted chocolate mixture on inside of each shell to coat. Place back on tray and freeze another 10 to 15 minutes or until cold and chocolate is hardened. Reserve remaining chocolate.
• While chocolate hardens, let ice cream soften a bit. Once shells are cold, they are ready to fill with ice cream. Fill each shell to the edges with ice cream, being careful not to break the shell. The chocolate may crack a bit, but that's okay. Place the ice cream-filled tacos back on the tray in the freezer 1 to 2 hours or until ice cream is very firm.
• Reheat reserved chocolate coating in microwave 30 to 60 seconds as necessary. Pour chocolate into wide container, like a small loaf pan. Remove ice cream tacos from freezer and, working quickly, dip each taco into the chocolate coating, being sure to seal in the ice cream completely, and add candy sprinkles. Place back on parchment-lined cookie sheet, and freeze another 2 hours or until firm before serving.

DESSERT TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Heat taco shells as directed on box. Meanwhile, in large bowl, gently mix fruit.
• Carefully remove cardboard from ice cream (do not damage cardboard). With serrated knife, cut ice cream into 6 (4x1x1-inch) rectangles. (Reassemble box around remaining ice cream for freezer storage; if necessary, wrap carton in plastic wrap to secure.)
• Place 1 rectangle of ice cream in bottom of each taco shell. Divide fruit mixture evenly over ice cream. Drizzle chocolate topping evenly over fruit. Top with whipped cream and nuts. Serve immediately.

ICE CREAM TACOS WITH CHOCOLATE AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• Brush insides of waffle bowls with maple syrup. Working one at a time, invert waffle bowl onto a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel.
