Chock Caramel Ice Cream Tarts

  • Ingredients
  • 4 x 72g Snickers bars, coarsely chopped
  • 2 1/2 tbs thickened cream
  • 8 scoops Peters Light & Creamy Choc Caramel & Vanilla Swirl ice-cream
  • Dark chocolate, shaved, to decorate

Chocolate pastry

  • 225g (1 1/2 cups) plain flour
  • 150g butter, chilled, chopped
  • 2 tbs icing sugar mixture
  • 2 tbs cocoa powder
  • 3-4 tbs milk
  1. Step 1
    To make the pastry, process the flour, butter, icing sugar and cocoa powder in a food processor until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add milk. Process until just combined. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape into a disc and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
  2. Step 2
    Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll out 1 portion until 3mm thick. Line a 2.5cm-deep, 8cm (base measurement) fluted tart tin, with removable base, with the pastry. Trim any excess. Repeat with the remaining dough portions. Use a fork to prick the bases all over. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to chill.
  3. Step 3
    Preheat oven to 200°C. Bake the pastry cases for 15 minutes or until crisp and dry to the touch.
  4. Step 4
    Stir the Snickers and cream in a saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes or until the Snickers melts and the mixture is smooth. Spoon among tart cases. Set aside to cool completely.
