This Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ice Cream Tart combines an Oreo cookie crust with rich chocolate ganache, smooth strawberry ice cream, fluffy whipped topping, and fresh strawberries for an indulgent, no-bake frozen dessert perfect for special occasions or summer treats.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes plus freezing time
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 (14.3-ounce) package Oreos
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted

Filling and Toppings

  • 1 recipe Microwave Chocolate Ganache (prepared)
  • 1.75 quarts strawberry ice cream
  • 12 ounces whipped topping
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (half quartered and half halved for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Process Oreos: In the bowl of a food processor, add the Oreos and process on high speed for about one minute until the cookies are broken down into evenly sized crumbs.
  2. Melt Butter: Add the butter to a small saucepan and gently melt it over low heat, being careful not to burn.
  3. Combine Crust Mixture: Remove the blade from the food processor bowl, pour in the melted butter, and mix with the Oreo crumbs until fully combined and no liquid remains.
  4. Form Crust: Press the Oreo crumb mixture into an even layer in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Tip: Use the bottom of a glass to gently press the crumbs to ensure an even crust layer.
  5. Freeze Crust: Place the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes to set firmly.
  6. Prepare Ganache: Make the Microwave Chocolate Ganache according to its recipe instructions.
  7. Spread Ganache: Spread 1 cup of the prepared ganache evenly over the crust’s center and sides.
  8. Freeze Ganache Layer: Return the tart to the freezer for 10 minutes while allowing the strawberry ice cream to soften at room temperature.
  9. Add Ice Cream Layer: Spoon the softened strawberry ice cream into the tart crust over the ganache, spreading it evenly. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight. Tip: Depending on crust and ganache thickness, you might not use all the ice cream.
  10. Top with Whipped Topping: Before serving, spread the whipped topping evenly over the ice cream layer.
  11. Decorate with Strawberries: Garnish the tart with the reserved quartered and halved fresh strawberries for an attractive presentation.
  12. Drizzle Remaining Ganache: Drizzle the remaining chocolate ganache over the top. Tip: For a neat drizzle, spoon the ganache into a zip-top bag, cut a small corner, and pipe the drizzle carefully over the tart.

Notes

  • Ensure the crust is pressed evenly to prevent cracking when sliced.
  • Soften the ice cream slightly for easier spreading but avoid letting it melt completely.
  • The tart can be prepared a day ahead and kept frozen, making it ideal for parties.
  • Use a tart pan with a removable bottom for easy serving.
  • For extra decoration, consider adding mint leaves along with strawberries.
