All-American Tarts
These perfectly portioned treats offer a taste of pure summertime. They’re also easy to make and freeze ahead of time.
Ingredients:
- 4 scoops of Spirit of America Ice Cream
- 4 store-bought mini graham cracker crust pie shells
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 1 container of light whipped topping
- 4 maraschino cherries to garnish (optional)
Remove the ice cream from the freezer; let soften for about 10 minutes. Place one scoop of ice cream in each of the pie crusts. Flatten and spread the ice cream so it’s level within each crust. Freeze if not serving immediately.
When ready to serve, top each ice cream scoop with the fresh berries and whipped topping. Top with a cherry.
Serves 4.
