Ingredients

  • 4 pieces waffle bowls
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • cups vanilla-fudge swirl ice cream
  • 3 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Brush insides of waffle bowls with maple syrup. Working one at a time, invert waffle bowl onto a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat in microwave 30 seconds; waffle will soften and flatten. Immediately mold waffle into a hard taco shell shape with your hands. Let rest until set, about 2 minutes.
