Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in 1/4 cup of batter and spread into a thin 6-inch circle. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another minute.
  3. Immediately drape the cooked taco shell over a spoon handle or taco rack to shape. Allow to cool completely.
  4. Fill each shell with softened vanilla ice cream, arrange them on a tray, and freeze for at least 1 hour.
  5. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds. Dip the top edges of each taco in the mixture and sprinkle with toppings before the chocolate sets.
  6. Return the tacos to the tray and freeze for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm. Serve straight from the freezer.
