Description
Fun and indulgent brownie tacos with soft, fudgy chocolate shells filled with a creamy peanut butter filling, perfect for a creative dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Chocolate chips (optional)
- Chopped peanuts (optional)
- Melted chocolate drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture to form a smooth batter.
- Spread batter thinly on the prepared tray.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until set but still soft.
- While warm, cut into circles or ovals and drape over a rolling pin or bowl edge to shape tacos. Let cool completely.
- For filling, beat peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add heavy cream gradually and whip until light and fluffy.
- Fill cooled brownie shells with the peanut butter mixture.
- Top with chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or melted chocolate if desired.
Notes
- Shape brownie shells while still warm to prevent cracking.
- Store shells and filling separately to maintain texture.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Try fillings like chocolate mousse or whipped cream for variation.
- Add fruits like bananas or strawberries for a fresh twist.
- Store assembled tacos in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing is best for shells only, not the filled tacos.
