Chocolate-Covered Tacos

This Frozen Taco Dessert is Made from Waffle Cones and Sweet Custard

— August 29, 2015 — Lifestyle
The 'Spoon Fork Bacon' blog put together a simple recipe for a frozen taco dessert. While the classic Mexican dish is traditionally enjoyed as an entree, this recipe turns the savory meal into a sweet after-dinner dish.

To make the chocolate-covered tacos, all you need is waffle cone batter, frozen custard and some melted chocolate chips. Once the taco-shaped waffles have been assembled, they can be filled with melted chocolate and frozen custard. The recipe is completely customizable and allows you to add the delicious toppings of your choosing. The end result is a decadent chocolate treat that tastes similar to an ice cream sandwich.

Although summer is near its end, this frozen taco dessert is the perfect way to enjoy the last few days of warm weather.
Trend Themes
1. Dessert Tacos - Opportunity to innovate and offer customizable dessert tacos in restaurants, ice cream parlors, and food trucks.
2. Upscale Ice Cream Sandwiches - Opportunity to create new frozen treat experiences using unconventional shapes and combinations for ice cream sandwiches, especially by pastry chefs and boutique dessert shops.
3. Customized Dessert Tapas - Opportunity to introduce a variety of sweet tapas or snackable desserts incorporating traditional entrees into dessert innovation menus of globally inspired restaurants and culinary arts schools.
Industry Implications
1. Food Service Equipment - Manufacturers can capitalize on this trend by designing specialty cooking and baking equipment as well as molds and utensils for frozen dessert presentation to meet the needs of dessert taco chefs, pastry chefs, and ice cream makers.
2. Frozen Food - Frozen food manufacturers can incorporate this concept to reach the growing market demand for indulgent and gourmet desserts by offering an innovative line of customizable frozen dessert tacos with a variety of flavors and toppings.
3. Food Blogging - Food bloggers specializing in fusion cuisine and dessert innovation can publish and promote their unique twists on dessert tacos, ice cream sandwiches, and dessert tapas to build stronger brand recognition and social media presence.
