You will need
Serves 20
- 5 large flour tortillas
- 1/3 cup dairy-free butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced into 1 cm cubes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tub Over The Moo Vanilla Bean Missing You ice cream
Coconut Caramel Sauce
- 400 g tin coconut cream
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) pure maple syrup
- 55 g (1/4 cup) brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt flakes
Directions

Step 1
For the apple filling, pop the apples in a pan with 1/2 cup of the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and all the nutmeg and lemon juice. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the apples are soft, stirring often.
-
Step 2
To make the taco shells, use a large circular cookie cutter (10 cm across at least) to cut 4-5 smaller circles out of each tortilla. Discard the scraps.
-
Step 3
Melt the remaining butter and combine in a small mixing bowl with the other 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Brush the mixture on to both sides of each mini tortilla.
-
Step 4
Grab a muffin tin and flip it upside down. Place the cut tortilla circles in between each muffin cup so they are curved like little taco shells. Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes or until they are a crispy golden brown.
-
Step 5
To make the sauce, combine the coconut cream, maple syrup, sugar and vanilla in a small, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring often for 30 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by about two-thirds and darkened to a golden caramel colour. As it thickens, stir more frequently so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
-
Step 6
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt (you should have about 2/3 cup of sauce). Use immediately, or pour into a warm sterilised jar for later use. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
-
Step 7
To serve, spoon some apple mixture into each taco shell, top with a generous scoop of Over The Moo “Vanilla Bean Missing You” and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of caramel.
