Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips make sure they're vegan!
  • 2-3 pints vegan vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup roasted and salted peanuts roughly chopped

Waffle Taco Shell

  • 1 can coconut cream chilled overnight, just the cream, reserve the water
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 180 grams all purpose flour
  • 180 grams powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Dash of allspice

Instructions
 

  • Make sure the coconut cream has been chilled overnight in the fridge. Then scoop it out, and don't use the water in the bottom of the can. Save that for a smoothie or something! Mix the cream with the vanilla extract with a hand mixer until it's thickened and mousse or pudding like.
  • Next sift in the rest of the Waffle Taco Shell ingredients and then stir together with a spatula or fork. The batter will seem way too dry at first, but just keep going, it will eventually come together to form a thick but wet dough. Let that rest for 30 minutes.
  • Get your waffle cone maker and turn it on. Once it's hot and ready, give it a light spritz of cooking spray, then add about 30 grams worth of the batter and cook it until it's golden brown, but not too dark! I did mine for about 3-4 minutes, but your times may vary.
  • Carefully scoop it out and form a taco shell with whatever device you have handy. You can use a taco shaper, hang it upside down on a rack, or just use the handle of a wooden spoon. Just get crafty and MacGyver that shell into a shape! It will set very quickly so do this as fast as possible.
  • Fill the shell up with firm ice cream, a spoonful at a time. Use your (CLEAN) hands to gently mold the ice cream into the shell. Once it's looking good, put it in the freezer to firm up.
  • For the chocolate, melt 1-2 ounces at a time in the microwave on low power, in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until almost melted. Ideally in a small bowl, but still big enough for a taco. If there's a few chips that aren't melted, just stir them around, the residual heat should do the rest.
  • Now make sure you have your crushed peanuts or whatever topping you are using near your bowl of melted chocolate. Dunk the taco in the chocolate and cover the entire top, then quickly sprinkle your peanut topping. The chocolate will harden in a matter of seconds. At this point, you can enjoy immediately, or freeze for later!
