Ice Cream Tarts

These ice cream tarts were inspired by these ginger ice cream tartlets by Jules at Stonesoup (her blog is amazing!) and the mini cheesecakes I made a couple of weeks ago.

They were quick to prepare and tasted delicious. I am really enjoying the taste of the old butternut snap at the moment!

Ice Cream Tarts

Ingredients:

  • 1 packet butternut snaps
  • 2 litres good quality vanilla ice cream

Method:
1. Remove the ice cream from its tub and into a large bowl. Break it up and allow it to soften. Crush the butternut snap biscuits in a plastic bag with a rolling pin.

2. Place premium quality patty pans into regular size muffin tins. Add a heaped tablespoon of biscuit crumbs to each patty pan.  Give the crumbs a pat down with the rolling pin, to make them stay together.

3.Stir the ice cream well, so it is easy to manipulate.

5.  I filled the patty pans up first then when back and smoothed them all out.

The base is a little crumbly so you do need utensils to eat the tarts!
