Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the pizzelle maker
- 2 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries (about 14 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 7 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
Instructions
- For the pizzelles: Preheat a pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the melted butter, milk and egg in a small bowl; add to the flour mixture and whisk until blended and smooth.
- Coat the pizzelle maker with cooking spray. Spoon 1 tablespoon batter into the hot pizzelle maker; cook until set and slightly darker in color, 45 to 50 seconds. Use a small offset spatula to remove the pizzelles, and immediately drape the pizzelles over the handle of a wooden spoon (3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter) to form a taco shape; let stand until completely cool, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and repeat with remaining batter.
- For the tacos: Combine the strawberries, sugar and mint in a medium bowl; let stand about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Spoon 3 small scoops vanilla ice cream (about 2 tablespoons per scoop) into each pizzelle taco; top each with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the strawberry mixture.

This was a very delicious dessert. I actually made the ice cream myself so it was nice and soft which made it easier to fill the shells.
What machine and brand did Valerie use to make the tortillataco shells? The one she used made two at a time.
Can you use a waffle maker if you don’t have a iron for the recipe?
