Ingredients
Shell
- 8 Daelmans Stroopwafels
Filling
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
Topping
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Heat Stroopwafels: Microwave 4 Stroopwafels at a time for 30 seconds to soften them, making them pliable enough to form taco shells.
- Shape Taco Shells: Gently bend the warmed Stroopwafels into a shell shape and secure the sides between two glasses to maintain their form as they cool.
- Fill with Ice Cream: Once the shells have cooled and hardened, fill each one generously with vanilla ice cream, then place them on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth and completely melted.
- Coat Taco Tips: Dip the pointed end of each filled taco into the melted chocolate or spoon the chocolate over to cover. Lay them back on the baking sheet and freeze for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve: Remove from freezer and enjoy immediately as a fun, cold dessert treat.
Notes
- Microwaving Stroopwafels in smaller batches ensures even heating and easier bending.
- Use a sturdy baking sheet to keep the taco shells upright in the freezer.
- You can customize toppings beyond sprinkles, such as mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute ice cream and chocolate with vegan alternatives.
- Let tacos sit a few minutes at room temperature before eating if too hard from freezer.
