The Crepe Ice Cream Dessert Taco is the ultimate dessert fusion that combines the best of both worlds. Perfect for a summertime treat or a special dessert, this dish will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. In this article, we will explore the delectable layers of this heavenly treat, from the crepe shell to the luscious filling and the enchanting magic shell.
Ingredients
For the Crepe Shells:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• Pinch of salt
• Extra oil or butter for cooking
For the Filling:
• Vanilla ice cream
• Fresh strawberries, sliced
For the Chocolate Magic Shell:
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Optional Garnishes:
• Whipped cream
• Chopped nuts
• Mint leaves
Instructions
• Make the Crepe Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
• Cook the Crepes: Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter to coat the pan. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling it around to form a thin layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Shape the Crepe Shells: While the crepes are still warm, drape them over a taco holder or any cylindrical object (like a rolling pin) to shape them into taco shells. Allow them to cool and set.
• Prepare the Chocolate Magic Shell: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
• Assemble the Dessert Tacos: Scoop vanilla ice cream into each crepe taco shell and add a layer of fresh strawberry slices.
• Add the Magic Shell: Drizzle the melted chocolate magic shell over the ice cream-filled crepes. The shell will harden as it cools, creating a crispy chocolate coating.
• Add Final Touches and Serve: Garnish with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
