The Vulgar Chef has creatively put together a sweet taco version made from a combination of Rice Krispie treats, ice cream, chocolate and candied toppings. The dessert is an unconventional way to enjoy the sugary fare in the shape and texture of a popular Mexican meal.
Unlike a corn tortilla taco, these versions by The Vulgar Chef are made using melted marshmallows and Rice Krispie puffed cereal that has been shaped into domes. Once the domes have set, they become hard shells and ideal for filling with all sorts of sugary garnishes. This taco is filled with ice cream as the base and then topped with melted chocolate and Reese's Pieces.
As consumers seek new experimental ways to enjoy classic flavors, swapping savory meal styles with sweet ingredients can be a way to excite the palette.
