Chocolate Ice Cream Tacos

Ice cream tacos are the fun frozen treat everyone remembers, and they are easy to make at home. Crisp waffle shells cradle rich chocolate soft serve, fresh strawberries, and a chocolate drizzle, sweet, crunchy, and a little bit playful. They start with Hoosier Hill Farm Chocolate Ice Cream Mix, a real dairy soft serve made with cream, milk, and real cocoa, so the chocolate flavor is deep and creamy, not artificial. Just add water and churn.

The whole thing comes together in about 15 minutes, no oven required, and it is a guaranteed hit with kids and grown-ups alike.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1: Blend. Whisk together the chocolate soft serve mix and cold water until smooth. Churn in an ice cream machine, or freeze and stir occasionally until creamy.
  2. Step 2: Fill. Spoon or pipe the prepared chocolate soft serve into the waffle taco shells, then tuck in the sliced strawberries.
  3. Step 3: Top. Drizzle the tacos with chocolate sauce and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Chill your shells. Cold waffle shells and a chilled plate slow melting so the tacos hold together while you eat.
  • Churn firm, then fill. Soft serve straight from the machine holds its shape better than a melty base. If it is too soft, freeze it for 20 minutes before filling.
  • Work in batches. Fill and serve a few at a time, keeping the rest of the soft serve in the freezer, so every taco is crisp and cold.
  • Pipe for a clean look. A piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped gives that neat swirl from the photo.
  • Switch up the fruit. Sliced banana, raspberries, or a few mini chocolate chips all work in place of or alongside the strawberries.

Make your own waffle taco shells

No waffle taco shells on hand? Make them from waffle cone batter. Cook one thin round on a waffle cone iron, then, while it is still warm and pliable, drape it over a rolling pin or a taco-shaped mold and let it cool into a taco shape. Work quickly, since the waffle firms up fast as it cools.

Want to keep it gluten-free?

The Chocolate Ice Cream Mix itself is made without gluten ingredients, so the filling is the easy part. The shells are what to watch: standard waffle cones and taco shells contain wheat. Use certified gluten-free waffle cones or shells to make the whole treat gluten free, and check the label to be sure.

More ways to use the mix

Chocolate soft serve is endlessly flexible. Blend a scoop with milk for a chocolate milkshake, the way we do in our old-fashioned vanilla milkshake, or serve it in a bowl with your favorite toppings for a quick sundae.
