Ingredients

12 total
  • 400g strawberries, 300g whole, 100g halved
  • 400g Greek yoghurt
  • 6 tbsp condensed milk
  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 6 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 6 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 500ml whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 mint sprig, leaves picked

Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    Whizz 300g whole strawberries, the Greek yoghurt and condensed milk in a small food processor until completely smooth, then pour into a shallow freezer-safe container. Freeze for 45 mins, then remove and whisk or stir vigorously to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process 3-4 times at 30-min intervals, until thick, smooth and scoopable. Freeze for at least 4 hrs, but ideally overnight.

  2. Step 2

    Sift the self-raising flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and sugar into a medium bowl with a pinch of salt.

  3. Step 3

    In a jug, whisk the eggs, whole milk and vanilla extract, then gradually whisk into the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a waffle iron. Once hot, ladle in the batter, close the lid and cook for 3-5 mins until crisp and golden. Carefully remove and immediately shape in taco holders, or between 2 rolling pins. Repeat to make 4 waffles, then leave to cool completely.

  5. Step 5

    Put the 100g halved strawberries on a baking tray. Dust with the icing sugar, then use a blowtorch to caramelise to a deep golden finish. Alternatively, preheat the grill to high and put the strawberries under the grill for 1-2 mins, until lightly golden. Leave to cool.

  6. Step 6

    To serve, fill each waffle taco with a scoop of the strawberry yoghurt ice cream and finish with the caramelised strawberries and mint.
