Homemade Choco Taco Recipe (Preps in 15 Minutes!)
This Choco Taco Recipe is easy to make with just 4 ingredients — the hardest part is waiting for each part to freeze!
Ingredients
- 8 Daelmans Stroopwafels
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Heat your stroopwafels in the microwave 4 at a time for 30 seconds.
- Gently bend your stroopwafles into a shell shape and secure the sides while they cook. I like to place each shell between two glasses so they hold their shape.
- Once the shells have cooled, fill each one with vanilla ice cream and place them on a baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the tacos chill for 30 minutes.
- Melt your chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Stir the chocolate after each 30 second interval and make sure all the chocolate has melted.
- Dip the tip of each taco in the melted chocolate. You can also use a spoon to smooth out the chocolate. Return the tacos to the pan and let them chill in the freezer for another 30 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
It’s best to heat 4 or fewer stroopwafels at a time so that they heat evenly.
In addition to sprinkles, you can also use crushed peanuts, crushed mini M&Ms, crushed Oreos, toffee pieces, etc.
I like to store my tacos covered with plastic wrap to keep them from developing freezer burn. Alternatively, you can keep them in an airtight container. Another great way to store them is to wrap them individually in tin foil once the chocolate is completely set. You can store them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Stroopwafels can be purchased at most major grocery stores (Target and Walmart especially). They are usually found on the cookie aisle near the graham crackers.
It is important to heat up your Stroopwafels so that you can bend them into a taco shell shape without them breaking. They might crack a little, but that’s fine. The caramel will act as a natural glue and keep the shell together.
Don’t skip the freeze time! It’s important to give the ice cream plenty of time to re-freeze. If you try to dip them in the chocolate too early then the ice cream may fall out of the shell and make a mess.
Feel free to switch the vanilla ice cream out for your favorite flavor. Likewise, you can use any other kind of chocolate chips.
