It’s Taco Tuesday!

And we are creating a whole new spin on the festivities… 

Dessert Tacos!

Now, that’s a fun twist, right? Because who doesn’t like tacos? And who doesn’t like dessert?  

So, we are convinced… Dessert Tacos = Life

I used pre-made crepes for my taco shells and filled them with whipped cream and fresh California nectarines and plump California blueberries. I decided to top it all off with California crushed almonds. It is quite the combination! Like a match made in heaven…

Let’s get started!

Crepes in a 6 inch diameter circle

Prep the crepes, if they need it:

Start with trimming down your crepes to about an 6″ diameter circle if they aren’t already a manageable size.

Freeze crepe into a taco shape

Make the Dessert Taco Shells:

I froze my crepes while I was preparing the rest of the ingredients to get them hardened and cold. I used aluminum foil as a prop to keep the crepe in a “taco” position.

The time it takes to wash and prep the fruit & nuts and make the whipped cream is all you need! That’s about 10 minutes.

Now for the fillings:

Fresh whipped cream

Have you ever made fresh whipped cream? It really is worth the extra 5 minutes…

Take one cup of cream and place in a mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk on high for about a minute, then add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. Whisk until stiff peaks form, about another minute.

If you’d rather not and want to use supermarket whipped cream, then by all means, go for it!

To assemble the Dessert Tacos:

Pipe the cream into the crepe taco shell.

Top with chopped nectarines.

Don’t forget the fresh blueberries!

Then add chopped almonds.

That’s it!

Serve immediately. I’m sure you won’t have any trouble finding some takers!
