Make-Ahead Dessert
Whenever I host a party or family gathering I like to do as much ahead of time as I can. Therefore, a make-ahead freezer dessert saves me time and energy on the day of the party. For example, this No-Bake Chocolate Mint Tart is one of those great desserts that can be made days in advance.
Not only is this green, minty dessert delicious, but it lends itself well to both St. Patrick’s Day and Easter.
Tart Crust
To make a No-Bake Frozen Chocolate Mint Tart, first, lightly spray a 9-inch round tart pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
Next, combine 3/4 cup unsalted melted butter and 3 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (for a gluten-free option be sure to use gluten-free chocolate cookie crumbs) in a large bowl and toss to mix. Spoon the cookie mixture into the tart pan and press the mixture evenly onto the bottom and sides of the pan. Freeze for at least 15 minutes.
Hot Fudge Topping
Next, remove the dessert from the freezer and spread hot fudge sauce (for a gluten-free option be sure to use a gluten-free hot fudge sauce) over the bottom of the cookie crust. Freeze for an additional 15 minutes or so.
Frozen Mint Chip Ice Cream
Again, remove the pan from the freezer. Spoon your favorite, slightly softened, mint chip ice cream evenly into the cookie crust. Freeze for at least 2 or overnight. (For a gluten-free option be sure to use a gluten-free brand of mint chip ice cream.)
Before serving, carefully remove the dessert from the tart pan and transfer it to a cake stand or round serving platter.
Whipped Topping
Next, top the No-Bake Frozen Chocolate Mint Tart with whipped topping.
Garnish the Tart
Garnish the top of the Frozen Chocolate Mint Tart with shaved creme de menthe candy curls.
Ready to Serve
Finally, cut the tart and serve. Freeze any leftovers.
