Aussie Summer Ice Cream Tart
This delectable summery dessert comes to you all the way from Australia. A bounty of fresh fruit finds itself at home on a layer of vanilla ice cream and a cookie base. This recipe uses Australian Anzac cookies, but any oat cookie will do fine. To make the base, mix 3 cups of cookies with 3 ounces of melted butter. Approximately 1 quart of ice cream should do, but feel free to play with the amounts to get the ideal combination!
