Ingredients
Scale
Taco Shells
- 6 small flour tortillas
Chocolate Ganache
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for garnish)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat and Shape Shells: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gently mold each small flour tortilla over the sides of a muffin tin cup to form mini taco shells, ensuring they hold their shape during baking.
- Bake Shells: Place the shaped tortillas in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The shells should be slightly crisp but still pliable. Remove from oven and let cool enough to handle.
- Prepare Chocolate Ganache: While the shells bake, combine the semi sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the ganache to cool slightly to thicken.
- Assemble Tacos: Carefully remove the cooled mini taco shells from the muffin tin. Spoon a small amount of the warm chocolate ganache into each taco shell.
- Add Toppings: Top each taco with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of diced fresh strawberries, and mini chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- Optional Finishing Touch: Lightly dust the assembled mini tacos with powdered sugar if desired for a pretty presentation.
- Serve or Chill: Serve immediately for the best texture, or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes if you prefer the ganache to set firmer before serving.
Notes
- Substitute strawberries with raspberries, bananas, or chopped nuts according to your preference.
- Use dark chocolate instead of semi sweet for a richer chocolate flavor.
- These mini chocolate tacos are best enjoyed the same day but can be refrigerated and consumed within 1 day.
