Tropical Dessert Tacos
- 6 (6-in.) flour tortillas
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)
- 1/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
- 2 cups mango slices (from 1 mango)
- 2 cups pineapple slices (from 1 pineapple)
- 2 kiwis, peeled and diced
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dark rum (optional)
- Prepare the Taco Shells: Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Roll sheets of aluminum foil into 3 loose rolls, each measuring approximately 17 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide, and 4 inches tall. Place rolls parallel on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Stir together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush melted butter evenly on both sides of tortillas, and sprinkle both sides evenly with sugar mixture. Drape 2 tortillas over each foil roll, so that they form a taco shell shape.
- Bake tortillas in preheated oven until tortillas hold their shape and are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer shells to a wire rack, and cool completely.
- Brush edges of shells evenly with 2 tablespoons of the cream of coconut. Dip edges in toasted coconut. Set aside.
- Prepare the Filling: Toss together mango, pineapple, kiwi, and lime juice in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Combine cream, cream of coconut, salt, and, if desired, rum in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until mixture is thick and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Assemble the Tacos: Divide fruit mixture evenly among Taco Shells. Top each with a dollop of cream mixture. Top with mint leaves.
