Ingredients

  • 1 pkg (125 g) Old El Paso* 12 Taco Shells
  • 2 cups (500 mL) milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 6 cups (1.5 L) vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) caramel ice cream topping
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) chocolate ice cream topping
  • 1 cup (250 mL) chopped nuts (any variety)

Steps

    Carefully dip open side of each taco shell into melted chocolate, using spoon or brush to get chocolate on inside of shell; hold shells above bowl to let excess chocolate drip off. Stand shells upside down on waxed paper-lined baking sheet and immediately place into refrigerator to let chocolate harden.

    Allow ice cream to soften enough to make it easier to spoon into the taco shells. Carefully fill each shell with about 1/2 cup (125 mL) ice cream. Place in freezer to harden & just before serving drizzle with caramel and chocolate topping and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
