Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
Stroopwafels
- 8 stroopwafels
Chocolate Coating
- 1 ½ cups melted chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- ½ cup chopped roasted peanuts (or any nut you love)
Instructions
- Warm the Stroopwafels: Heat each stroopwafel in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or warm in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20–30 seconds per side until soft and flexible enough to bend without cracking.
- Shape into Tacos: While still warm, carefully fold each stroopwafel into a taco shape. Use a muffin tin, two cups, ramekins placed close together, or a taco stand to hold them upright and allow them to cool and set.
- Fill with Ice Cream: Once the stroopwafel tacos are completely cool and firm, scoop your favorite ice cream (vanilla, caramel, or coffee) into each taco shell. If the ice cream softens, place the filled tacos on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
- Prepare Chocolate Peanut Coating: Melt the chocolate completely and stir in half of the chopped peanuts to incorporate a crunchy texture.
- Dip and Garnish: Dip the tops of the frozen ice cream tacos into the peanut–chocolate mixture, then sprinkle the remaining chopped peanuts over the wet chocolate coating to add a decorative and crunchy finish.
- Final Chill: Place the dipped tacos back into the freezer for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate sets completely. Serve immediately for the best taste experience, enjoying these frozen treats straight from the freezer.
Notes
- Be careful when warming stroopwafels; overheating can cause them to break and lose flexibility.
- Any flavor of ice cream works well, but vanilla, caramel, and coffee have been tried and tested for great flavor pairing.
- If you don’t have a muffin tin or taco stand, use two cups or ramekins placed side-by-side to hold the stroopwafels upright as they cool.
- The tacos are best served immediately after the final chilling to keep the ice cream firm and the chocolate crisp.
- For a nut-free version, omit peanuts and dip the tacos in plain melted chocolate, then allow to set.
