2. Divide evenly into 4 paper lined muffin tin cavities.  Pat crust into bottom and partially up sides of each cavity.
3. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 6 minutes, until fragrant and browned.  Allow to cool before filling.

Raspberry Sauce

Assembly

To assemble your mini Peach Melba ice cream tart:

1. Keeping tart shells in muffin tin, spoon raspberry sauce into bottom of each tart shell.
2. Place a 1/2 cup scoop of Peach Dream ice cream (1/4 of the 500 ml carton) into the tart shell, and allow to harden in your freezer for 2 - 4 hours.
3. Once hardened, remove the tart from the paper liner and add a dollop of whipped cream.
4. Garnish with fresh raspberry and peach slices.
