Preheat the oven and wrap tortillas in foil to warm them up.

Lay the warm tortillas over an oven-proof bowl upside down on a tray.

Place the tray in the oven for 10 minutes to dry out the tortillas.

Remove the tortillas from the oven and let them cool completely.

If tortillas stick, use a knife to gently separate them from the bowl.

Melt chocolate in a bowl of warm water, then place in a piping bag.

Decorate the rim of the tortilla bowls with melted chocolate.

Refrigerate the decorated bowls for a few minutes to firm up the chocolate.

Scoop 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into each tortilla bowl.

Roll the ice cream in crushed salted peanuts to coat it.

Place the ice cream ball in the center of the tortilla bowl.

Spoon mixed fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries, peaches) around the ice cream.

Garnish with fresh mint.
