As for the toppings — feel free to go loco! The original recipe calls for cocoa nibs, strawberries, and whipped cream, but maybe some mini marshmallows need to get in the mix.

Notes
Editor's note: If you cannot procure waffle taco shells, simply use crispy corn taco shells (but be sure they are just flavored with salt).
Ingredients
- For spicy chocolate sauce:
1 2/3 cup dark chocolate, roughly chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 ounce butter
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash cayenne pepper
- For tacos:
1 pint Mexican chocolate ice cream, like Steve's Mexican Chili Chocolate
2 waffle taco shells
2 tablespoons spicy chocolate sauce
Whipped cream, cacao nibs, and strawberries, to garnish
Directions
- To make spicy chocolate sauce: Combine all ingredients in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Cook gently until all chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Serve warm or cold. Keeps refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
- To assemble tacos: Fill a waffle taco 3/4 full with small scoops of ice cream. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons spicy chocolate sauce. Top with whipped cream, cacao nibs, and strawberries, to taste.
