How to Make Ice Cream Tacos

  1. Warm 4 large waffle cones according to package directions. Do not over-toast; they should remain pliable.
  2. While warm, gently fold each waffle cone in half to create a taco shape.
  3. Place the folded waffle cones in an 11x7 inch baking pan, arranging them in two rows of two to maintain their shape.
  4. In a large bowl, gently fold 1 cup of mini marshmallows into 2 pints of your favorite ice cream.
  5. Spoon the ice cream mixture into the waffle cone tacos, filling them generously.
  6. Drizzle 1/4 cup fudge sauce and 1/4 cup caramel sauce over each ice cream taco.
  7. Cover the pan and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
  8. To serve, dollop whipped cream on top to resemble sour cream, sprinkle shredded coconut to mimic lettuce, and top with cherry halves to represent tomatoes.
  9. For an adult twist, try cinnamon ice cream with caramel sauce or chocolate ice cream sprinkled with cinnamon.
