Delightfully melt-in-your-mouth and brimming with old-world charm, Ice Cream Kolachy is the perfect fusion of creamy indulgence and fruity sweetness. This unique recipe uses full-fat vanilla ice cream to create a soft, rich dough that’s effortless to work with and transforms into a delicate, buttery pastry. Filled with your favorite fruit jam—strawberry, apricot, or any flavor you love—each bite provides a harmonious balance of tart and sweet. Finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, these dainty crescent-shaped treats are as beautiful as they are delicious. With just six ingredients and simple steps, Ice Cream Kolachy is ideal for holidays, tea parties, or an any-time dessert to impress.
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream and flour. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
2. Stir the mixture until it forms a soft, pliable dough. If it feels sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
3. Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness.
6. Use a 2-inch (5 cm) round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough.
7. Place the dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) between each.
8. Spoon a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of your chosen fruit jam into the center of each circle.
9. Fold the edges of the dough slightly over the jam to create a crescent shape, pinching lightly to secure.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
11. Remove from the oven and allow the kolachy to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
12. Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
13. Enjoy your Ice Cream Kolachy as a treat with coffee, tea, or as a dessert!
