Ingredients

For the taco shells:

• 3 large egg whites
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup powdered sweetener or sugar
• 1 tbsp light butter, melted
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the filling:

• 1½ cups low-fat vanilla or chocolate frozen yogurt or light ice cream

For the topping:

• ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
• 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
• 2 tbsp chopped peanuts or almonds (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Shells
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk egg whites, flour, sweetener, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheet and spread into a thin 5-inch circle. Repeat for as many will fit on the sheet.

2. Bake and Shape
Bake for 6–8 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove and quickly drape each shell over a rounded surface (like a spoon handle or a rolling pin) to shape into a taco. Let cool and harden.

3. Add the Filling
Once shells are cool, gently fill each with softened frozen yogurt or ice cream. Return to the freezer on a tray lined with parchment paper and let firm up for at least 30 minutes.

4. Finish with Chocolate Coating
Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Dip the top edge of each taco into the chocolate, then sprinkle with chopped nuts if using. Freeze again until ready to serve.
