Now if you are more of a chocolate or caramel kind of guy or girl this recipe may not sound like it will tickle your taste buds. I should know as I more of the chocolate sort myself but it actually was. A lovely crispy buttery biscuit base filled with smooth strawberry ice cream topped with sweet sparkling wine soaked strawberries, delicious! Maybe it was the wine soaked strawberries that got me? Anyway, it was the perfect dessert for the Dads in my life this Fathers Day just gone, plus it was the best excuse to try out another recipe. An added bonus – they both have a bit of a sweet tooth and fans of strawberry.
This dessert would be just perfect for a lovely Summers evening (once it cools slightly) as it starts melting as soon as you bring it out of the freezer even Spring (hence the slightly melted photos) – you had to be quick! The best part is this recipe can be easily adapted – try your favourite ice cream or frozen yoghurt flavour, not too sure how orange chocolate chip would go though (then again – I’m game if you are).
What is your favourite ice cream flavour and would you try it in this tart recipe?

Your strawberry tart looks so YUMMY! I just might have to go out and get some strawberries this weekend, and make it for my hubby! Thank you for sharing on The Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!
Thank you. It sure was and both hubby and my Dad loved it. Enjoy xx
OMG yum! I so want to make this. I’m a chocolate lover too, but ice cream cakes are always good too.
Toni, you could combine the two – chocolate ice cream tart? 🙂 xx
This looks soooo good.. I reckon I could almost give this one a go. Choc mint is my favourite. I wonder if it would work 🙂
Yum – choc mint, I’m sure it would work 🙂 xx
This looks amazing. Salted caramel is my favourite. Saving this recipe for sure 🙂
So many delicious sounding flavours – looks like I will be going back and making again but with a variation xx
Ooooh, the possibilities are endless with this one. How about hokey pokey ice cream with crushed violet crumble on top!
What a great summer tart 🙂 YUM!
