Strawberry Pop-Tarts® Ice Cream Cupcakes with Cheez-It® Crust

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

2. In the bowl of a food processor, add Cheez-It® Crackers, sugar, and salt. Pulse until Cheez-It® Crackers are a fine crumb. Add melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.

3. Add about 3 tablespoons of Cheez-It® mixture, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish, to each cupcake liner, pressing down with the bottom of a measuring cup. Bake until crust is set, 12 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.

4. Let ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes (it should be soft and pliable, but not melty). In a large bowl, mix ice cream with chopped Pop-Tarts® pieces. Top Cheez-It® crusts with strawberry ice cream mixture, using a spoon or offset spatula to smooth the tops. Top each cupcake with a Pop-Tarts® Bite and a sprinkle of the reserved Cheez-It® mixture. Freeze until set, 3 hours or ideally overnight.
