John This dessert provides something a little different particularly if you are having friends over for a dinner party and you are looking for something to impress your guests.
Mini tortillas are brushed with cinnamon sugar then shaped and baked to create a taco cup/shell. Once cooled they are filled with a sensational Mascapone & Nutella cream. Topped with strawberries, raspberries & blueberries to create a great looking as well as great tasting dessert.
The Mascapone & Nutella cream is really good and can be made for other desserts as well. It’s a challenge to simply not eat it all before you fill the taco shells!
This is probably not a dessert you will make regularly, more a special occasion dessert. Making the taco shells can be a little fiddly, but it is worth the effort.

Ingredients
Marscapone Nutella Cream
|
|
- Preheat a fan forced oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Make the cinnamon sugar by combining 2 tbsp caster sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl and stir to mix through.
- Heat mini tortillas per packet instructions.
- While tortilla is still warm, brush both sides with butter.
- Coat edge of tortilla with cinnamon sugar.
- Press each tortilla into a hole of a large cup cake / muffin pan. Note: pleat tortilla first before placing into hole, then try to spread tortilla along bottom of hole to provide a flat base.
- Place in oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until tortillas are browned.
- Remove from oven, cool in tray for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a large bowl add thickened cream and 2 tbsp caster sugar. Beat using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Add mascapone and continue beating until combined.
- Place Nutella in a microwave for about 10 seconds to ensure Nutella is soft and will readily mix with the cream.
- Fold or swirl Nutella into the cream mixture. Don't fully mix through.
- Spoon or pipe cream mixture into tortilla bowls. I find it easier to pipe.
- Top taco with strawberries, raspberries & blueberries before serving.
