Choco Taco
Homemade Choco Tacos are a delicious alternative to the discontinued frozen dessert. Easy to make in minutes with frozen waffles, ice cream, chocolate, and peanuts, it's the perfect Klondike copycat.
Servings: 8 tacos
Calories: 508kcal
Ingredients
- 8 frozen waffles thawed
- 1.5 litre tub vanilla ice cream or any flavor desired
- 205 gram magic shell chocolate sauce
- 1 cup crushed peanuts or any of your choosing
Toppings optional:
- sprinkles
- nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, and ensure the rack is in 1 above the middle.
- Flatten thawed waffles on a cutting board with a rolling pin and place them carefully to hang over the wire rack in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until they hold a taco shape.
- Remove them from the oven with tongs and place them on a cutting board or working surface with parchment paper and allow them to slightly cool. Note: placing them in a loaf pan will help them to stand upright in the freezer.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill with ice cream, freezing them as you work. Note: we found it easiest to work with batches of 4 and freeze for about 10 minutes.
- After all taco shells are all full remove from the freezer and lightly press the tops of the ice cream with crushed peanuts, then freeze again for another 5 minutes. Repeat with the second batch.
- Remove again from the freezer and top with magic shell, starting in the middle, and working outwards, then add any desired topping. Quickly finish 1 batch and place them back in the freezer for a few minutes while working on the next batch.
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Once the Choco tacos are completely finished and frozen, wrap them individually and keep them in the freezer for 2-3 months.
- You can make your own homemade ice cream or use store-bought ice cream to stuff your shells.
- I found it easiest to work with batches of 4 and freeze for about 10 minutes in between batches.
- Quickly finish 1 batch and place the tacos back in the freezer for a few minutes while working on the next batch.
- When adding the magic shell, start in the middle and work outwards.
