Ingredients
- 4 stroopwafels
- 1 cup ice cream of choice
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Microwave a stroopwafel for 15 seconds, or until it is barely pliable. They should be pliable but not too soft. If they overheat, they might become too sticky to handle.
- Invert a muffin pan and mold the stroopwafel into a crunchy taco shape using the cups to hold each side upright.
- Freeze the shells for 15 minutes.
- Fill the shells with your ice cream of choice and freeze again for 15 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips and stir in chopped peanuts.
- Dip the tacos in the chocolate and let it set until firm in the freezer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Enjoy!
