chopped nuts

🥗Healthier: toasted coconut

💰Cheaper: crushed graham crackers

Toasted coconut adds flavor without the cost of nuts.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: store-bought whipped topping

Coconut cream is a dairy-free alternative, while store toppings are often cheaper.

Make sure the coconut cream has been chilled overnight in the fridge. Then scoop it out, and don't use the water in the bottom of the can. Mix the cream with the vanilla extract with a hand mixer until it's thickened and mousse or pudding like.

Sift in the rest of the Waffle Taco Shell ingredients and then stir together with a spatula or fork. The batter will seem way too dry at first, but just keep going, it will eventually come together to form a thick but wet dough. Let that rest for 30 minutes.

Get your waffle cone maker and turn it on. Once it's hot and ready, give it a light spritz of cooking spray, then add about 30 grams worth of the batter and cook it until it's golden brown, but not too dark!

Carefully scoop it out and form a taco shell with whatever device you have handy. You can use a taco shaper, hang it upside down on a rack, or just use the handle of a wooden spoon.

Fill the shell up with firm ice cream, a spoonful at a time. Use your (CLEAN) hands to gently mold the ice cream into the shell. Once it's looking good, put it in the freezer to firm up.

Melt 1-2 ounces of chocolate at a time in the microwave on low power, in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until almost melted.

Dunk the taco in the chocolate and cover the entire top, then quickly sprinkle your peanut topping. The chocolate will harden in a matter of seconds.
