There's nothing better than ice cream in the summertime, but let's be honest—the basic ice cream cone has been around the block a time or two. Not that there isn't a soft spot in our hearts for the childhood treat, but some ice cream creativity is definitely appreciated. Enter the ice cream taco.

Ice cream wedged inside a taco shell, dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with toppings? Sign us up. The shell leaves room for personal preference: Food Network Magazine made theirs last year with corn tortillas, yet blogger Leigh Anne opted for oven-crisped flour tortillas. But the general concept is the same: Bake tortillas, fill them with ice cream and freeze, then dip in melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed nuts, rainbow sprinkles, or whatever topping strikes your fancy. It's a whimsical, on-the-go frozen sweet that'll make your basic cones all shades of jealous.
