I thought that I liked tacos before I worked on this chocolate taco recipe.
I LOVE tacos now! Especially chocolate tacos . . . with ice cream, and sprinkles, and M&M’s, and chocolate chips, and marshmallows, and chocolate sauce . . . you get it!
When I was doing my research for this recipe, I encountered many recipes for hard tacos shells that were simply dipped into chocolate, and left to harden. I thought that those would be a great salty/sweet combination, but I wanted a taco with a FULL chocolate shell. This chocolate taco shell is so chocolatey that you need the ice cream combination to settle it down!! That is, if something being “super chocolatey” is a problem for you. I loved it.
Making the chocolate shells is a bit time consuming, but if you have an assembly line of set up prepared, you’ll be flying through the process. The chocolate shells harden and are relatively delicate, but most of mine stayed together and survived cracking. I only had one casualty . . . I missed the wooden spoon and it dropped into the bowl.
When dipping the shells into the melted chocolate make sure that you have a large container for dipping. I went immediately to sprinkles (because they make me HAPPY!), but I think that crushed up Oreo’s or peanuts would be delicious too! You could add peanut butter cups, or crushed Oreo’s as the toppings as well.
Try using frozen yogurt and fresh fruit if you’re looking for a more healthier dessert. Strawberries and bananas would go fabulously with the chocolate shells. There are so many possibilities!! Let me know in the comments section what flavour combination you would like best.
The positive aspect to this shoot was that I got to work together with Maangchi! She is a legendary Korean chef and has a YouTube channel of the same name- Maangchi. She is the sweetest and spunkiest person you will ever meet! Make sure you check it out, subscribe to her and check out the random costumes/accessories she wears in her videos . . . she’s an inspiration to me to be more relaxed with my videos and to have more FUN. Earlier in the day, before the security guard incident, we shot a video for her channel called Kimchi Stew and she showed me the ins and outs of how to make it, which is a backpacking type meal in Korea. It was so good. Like, so good. I hadn’t ever had Korean food before as I don’t count the one time I have tried kimchi as “Korean food”. The stew was spicy, hearty and crunchy, which is unlike any stew I had ever had in Canada before . . . and it had fish in it.
