ingredients:
- 4 caramel stroopwafels
- 1/2 pint of Alec's Ice Cream Pistachio Crunch
- ¼ cup Pistakio Creamy Pistachio Spread
- 1-2 tbsp Pistakio Crunchy Pistachio Spread
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 2 tsp coconut oil (divided)
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- crushed pistachios, optional, for garnish
- flakey salt, for garnish
instructions:
-
Start by heating each stroopwafel for 30–60 seconds on each side until soft and pliable (they shouldn’t darken). Carefully place them into a taco holder to cool into a taco shape. If you don’t have a taco holder, place them between two ramekins or bowls to mimic the shape.
-
In two separate bowls, melt the white chocolate and dark chocolate. Stir 1 teaspoon of coconut oil into each bowl until smooth, then set aside.
-
To the melted white chocolate, stir in ¼ cup of Creamy Pistakio (or Crunchy Pistakio, if preferred). For extra texture, mix in 1–2 tablespoons of Crunchy Pistakio and a few tablespoons of pistachio pieces.
-
Spoon ice cream into each stroopwafel taco shell, smoothing it out with the back of the spoon. The ice cream should be scoopable (not rock-hard, but not too melty). Let it sit out a few minutes if needed.
-
Immediately dip the filled shells into the white chocolate–pistachio mixture. Place them on a tray to cool, and sprinkle with crushed pistachios or flaky salt if desired. At this point, you’ll have white chocolate pistachio choco tacos.
-
If you’d like to take them a step further, let the white chocolate set (this should only take 1-2 minutes), then dip the shells into the dark chocolate mixture for a second layer. Top with pistachios and flaky salt for two-layer dubai chocolate pistachio choco tacos.
-
Freeze the choco tacos for about 15 minutes to firm up before serving.

Enjoy!
