The 'Spoon Fork Bacon' blog put together a simple recipe for a frozen taco dessert. While the classic Mexican dish is traditionally enjoyed as an entree, this recipe turns the savory meal into a sweet after-dinner dish.
To make the chocolate-covered tacos, all you need is waffle cone batter, frozen custard and some melted chocolate chips. Once the taco-shaped waffles have been assembled, they can be filled with melted chocolate and frozen custard. The recipe is completely customizable and allows you to add the delicious toppings of your choosing. The end result is a decadent chocolate treat that tastes similar to an ice cream sandwich.
Although summer is near its end, this frozen taco dessert is the perfect way to enjoy the last few days of warm weather.
