More Sweet Scoops! A super simple yet very impressive dessert for your next dinner party.
This is like a “grown up” version of ice cream cake that you can easily make ahead. The ginger frozen yogurt is another one of my favorites – it’s so smooth and creamy, it’s unbelievable, and every bite has big chunks of candied ginger.
The proportions below are for one serving size – share it, if this is a fun dessert for a weekend dinner, or make individual sweet treats for your guests.
Tips: I used a simple ring mold, but silicone muffin or cupcake cups would also work well here. I lined and covered the ice cream with foil, not plastic wrap, because I find it comes off smoother when frozen. And if you can’t find speculoos, substitute ginger snaps!
Ginger ice cream tart
You’ll need:
- 1.5 T coconut oil (melted, if it’s solid)
- 1/2 t honey
- 4 heaping tablespoons crushed speculoos cookies + more for topping
- about 1/2 cup of Sweet Scoops ginger frozen yogurt
1. Line the mold you are using with a large piece of foil, leaving enough so that you can cover the entire tart later.
2. Crush the cookies finely, like you would for a cookie crust. Place crushed cookies in the bottom of your mold, add coconut oil and honey, and use the back of a spoon to press together.
3. Add ice cream and top and press down. Smooth the top with a spatula or a butter knife and cover with foil. Weigh down with something (like an ice cream carton) and freeze for 3-4 (or more) hours.
4. Uncover, unmold (use a paring knife around the edge of the mold to loosen) and serve topped with some extra cookie crumbs.

Can’t wait to try it! I’ll have to make the ginger ice cream/frozen yogurt – we have nothing like that here, despite having the zingiest ginger beer in the world and other gingery wonders 🙂
