INSTRUCTIONS:
1st Step – Prepare the Base:
- Line a 9-inch tart pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Arrange the ice cream sandwiches in the tart pan, placing them side by side and pressing them firmly together to create a solid base. Trim any excess sandwiches as needed to fit the pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the ice cream sandwiches, using a spatula to spread it evenly and cover any gaps. This creates a delicious chocolate shell that holds everything together.
- Sprinkle assorted toppings over the melted chocolate, allowing your creativity to run wild. Let your little ones join in the fun by decorating with their favorite toppings, creating a personalized masterpiece.
- Place the ice cream sandwich tart in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate shell is firm and the ice cream sandwiches are completely frozen.
- Once set, carefully lift the tart out of the pan using the parchment paper or plastic wrap overhang. Transfer it to a serving platter or cutting board.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the ice cream sandwich tart into wedges, just like you would with a traditional tart. Each slice reveals layers of creamy ice cream and crunchy chocolate, creating a mouthwatering contrast of textures.
- Serve the ice cream sandwich tart slices on individual plates or dessert bowls, garnishing with additional toppings if desired. Watch as the faces light up with delight at the sight of this whimsical dessert.
