How to make Dutch Tart
For the crust
- Step 1
Place the filled cookies in a blender and process until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl and add the butter, mixing until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous paste. Set aside.
- Step 2
In a round springform pan, 26 cm in diameter, line the sides with Maria cookies. Use the cookie-butter mixture to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.
For the filling
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla ice cream. Beat until fully integrated, then pour the mixture into the pan lined with cookies.
- Step 2
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place it in the freezer for 12 hours.
For the topping
- Step 1
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over a double boiler (bain-marie), stirring constantly until the cream is warm.
- Step 2
Remove from heat and add the bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces, to the warm cream. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Allow to cool.
