Ingredients

• 350 grams Gingersnap cookies
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 liter Vanilla ice cream
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 50 grams Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the gingersnap cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Reserve 1 cup of the crumbs for the topping.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 75 grams of the unsalted butter. Pour the melted butter into the food processor with the remaining cookie crumbs and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the buttery crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Use the back of a spoon or the base of a glass to ensure the crust is compact. Place the crust in the freezer to set for 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the crust is setting, allow the vanilla ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Spoon the softened vanilla ice cream into the crust and spread it evenly using a spatula. Smooth the top. Place the tart back in the freezer to firm up for 2 hours.

Step 6

For the crumble topping, melt the remaining 25 grams of butter in a small saucepan. In a bowl, combine the reserved cookie crumbs, cinnamon, brown sugar, and melted butter. Add the chopped pecans, if using, and mix well.

Step 7

After the tart has set, sprinkle the crumble mixture generously over the top.

Step 8

Return the tart to the freezer for at least 30 more minutes or until fully set. To serve, let the tart sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
