VEGAN CHRISTMAS ICE CREAM TART

When you are born in Australia, Christmas is a HOT time of year. Christmas Day is either at the beach or if you are having a family lunch at home, the air conditioner is on and you're eating fresh seafood, summer salads and of course, a BBQ is on outside. This year we are adding this CocoFrio Christmas Ice Cream Tart to the dessert menu to keep us nice and cool.
