Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or vegetable oil). Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Coat the Taco Shells
- Dip each taco shell into the melted chocolate, covering the inside and edges. Use a spoon to help spread the chocolate if needed.
- Once coated, place the taco shells on a parchment-lined tray or plate to set. You can speed up the process by placing them in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: Add Toppings
- While the chocolate is setting, prepare your toppings. If you’re using crushed nuts or mini chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the taco shells before the chocolate fully hardens for extra texture and flavor.
Step 5: Fill with Ice Cream or Whipped Cream
- Once the chocolate has set and hardened, it’s time to fill your Choco Tacos. You can use whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or even a scoop of your favorite flavor. If you’re using ice cream, make sure it’s slightly softened to help with filling.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
- Once filled, serve your Choco Tacos immediately. You can also drizzle some extra chocolate over the top or add a cherry for an extra special touch.
Tips for the Best Choco Tacos
- Don’t Overheat the Chocolate: Heat the chocolate in small bursts to avoid burning it. Stirring between intervals ensures it stays smooth and creamy.
- Make It a Family Activity: This is a fun recipe for kids to get involved with. Let them dip their own taco shells in chocolate and add their favorite toppings.
- Use Mini Cones for Bite-Sized Treats: Mini cones make perfect single-serving Choco Tacos and are easier to handle for kids and smaller portions.
- Add Fun Toppings: Experiment with different toppings like crushed Oreos, colored sprinkles, or a drizzle of caramel or peanut butter for extra flavor.
Variations to Try
- Nutty Choco Tacos: Add a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, almonds, or pecans over the chocolate for a satisfying crunch.
- Choco Taco Sundaes: Skip the shell and use the chocolate-covered cones as a fun topping for sundaes. Fill a bowl with your favorite ice cream and top with pieces of the chocolate-dipped cones.
- Chocolate and Fruit: For a fresh twist, fill your Choco Tacos with berries like strawberries or raspberries, then drizzle with chocolate and whipped cream.
