The whole time I was making these, I kept thinking…
“The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer’s day;The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away.
The King of Hearts called for the tarts and beat the Knave full sore
The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts and
vowed he’d steal no more.”
Poor guy. He can have some of ours.
They are divine.
Ice Cream Kolatkes
Ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tsp. salt
12 oz apricot or raspberry jam
1 to 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, optional
Directions:
With electric mixer, beat butter and ice cream until blended (mixture will appear curdled). Add flour, sugar and salt; mix well. Divide dough into four portions; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface–I use a pastry cloth– roll one portion of dough thin and flat;
Cut into 2-in. circles–
Now roll each circle into a thin oval. Place a teaspoonful of jam at the end of each oval.
Overlap dough over filling; pinch tightly to seal.
Now roll up the rest of the dough.
Now, with seam side down, place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Bake at 350° for 18 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool on pan for about 5 minutes before removing to plate.
Sprinkle with sugar if you want them to be sparkly.
Share with the royal court.
Note: No Knaves were injured in the making, or eating of these tarts.

They are delicious! And they look pretty too!
OOOh, I wish I didn’t have to pack my kitchen today, or I might make those!!! they look divine!
It’s a good thing you got a picture of them BEFORE I got to them… I think I ate a dozen or so yesterday!!! Bite-size pastries of yumminess… so good!
They look amazing! Maybe after my diet, I will have to celebrate!!!
I wonder why no one has ever made a chocolate pie crust. These would be great in chocolate too…
hmmmm…..
Ohhhh yes–they are…
Forget packing and DON’T MOVE!!
sheesh…
We should put lemon in some of them…or Key lime something or other. That would be so dang good.
What diet are you on–maybe I can help…
seriously.
:]
Mmmmmmmm!!!!! Those look SO good. I agree, lemon would be delicious as well. The possibilities are endless. And how fun to make with the kids. Thank you for the recipe. 🙂
Wow, only 14 more days until Dane is home. You must be beyond ecstatic. Another good excuse to make these treats.
Can you make these by replacing the icecream with another ingrediant, maybe cream cheese? This is the only Kolatke recipe I could find, all the others are for Kolaches. I prefer the cripier Kolatke to the softer kolache. Is there any difference between a kolatke and a kolache? Thanks, Kathleen
