Plantains Foster Ice Cream Tacos

Oh my goodness! I am drooling over these ice cream tacos. Imagine a taco shell that is sprinkled with cinnamon and then baked into a cup shape. The taco shell then gets filled with creamy frozen ice cream and hot plantains foster and then topped with a generous sprinkling of  Chips Ahoy! Cookies.

Every bite you take will have different tones of flavors and textures. The frozen ice cream contrasting with the hot plantains create a party in your mouth. Serve this a snack to your kids or as an elegant dessert to your latin themed dinner.

The inspiration for this recipe came in while I was browsing the Nabisco website. In there I saw an amazing Chips Ahoy! Quesadilla filled with Plantains. I thought that it was a what a great idea to marry plantains with yummy chocolate chops cookies. And these ice cream tacos are my spin on the Nabisco recipe.

Have you checked out all the all the fun and delicious Latino-inspired recipes that are just right to treat the family for Día del niño?. They’re awesome!

Did you know that in Latin America we celebrate “Dia Del Nino” ? (Child’s Day). It’s a full day celebrating our kids by buying them gifts and cooking them a special meal. When my daughters come home, I will present them with this amazing merienda (snack) that will knock their socks off! Both my daughters love plantains and I am positive that they will enjoy these feast.

Aside from the deliciousness, this dish represents much more. You see, my husband and I are Venezuelan, our girls were born here in America. In a way, I want them to learn about their roots. Food is the perfect vessel for it.

So check it out: the base has a tortilla shell which is inherently latin. The middle is ice cream, universal. The sweet plantain filling is a bit Venezuelan, and the Chips Ahoy! cookies are American. In one bite you will be eating multiple cultures. I find that  poetic. And that’s what bringing families together is all about. Creating traditions that they will later pass on to their own families.

I hope that my daughters when they grow up, they will make these delicious Plantains Foster Ice Cream Tacos on the Dia Del Nino to their own kids. But don’t forget the most important detail: Top them with Chips Ahoy! They really give this recipe the final touches and it also brings all the flavors together.
