These sweet pastries have Polish and Czech roots and can also be spelled “kolaches.” They are usually filled with poppy seeds, nuts, jam or a mashed fruit mixture. “The ice cream is a unique twist on traditional kolachkes, and its simplest to use a square cookie cutter to cut the dough.” —Diane Turner, Brunswick, Ohio

Ice Cream Kolachkes Recipe
  • Prep: 1 hour + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch
  • Yield: 120 Servings
60 10 70

Ingredients

  • 2 cups butter, softened
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cans (12 ounces each) apricot and/or raspberry cake and pastry filling
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, optional

Directions

  • In the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer, beat butter and ice cream until blended (mixture will appear curdled). Add flour and sugar; mix well. Divide dough into four portions; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough into a 12–in. x 10–in. rectangle; cut into 2-in. squares. Place a teaspoonful of filling in the center of each square. Overlap two opposite corners of dough over filling; pinch tightly to seal. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Bake at 350° for 11-14 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 10 dozen.

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Solo brand cake and pastry filling. Look for it in the baking aisle.

They were good and fairly simple to make. I had a hard time getting the two corners to stick together. The picture makes them look really puffy and flakey, mine were pretty flat.

This recipe was GREAT! I got it to make a ton! They froze very well so we can pull out some whenever we like! To answer an earlier question 2 cups does equal 1 pint. I rolled the dough out very thin almost the thinness of paper and they came out flaky and pie crust like! YUMMMY!

I've made my family recipe and tried these and they turned out very well. A nice trick for filling is preserves, they are the right consistency for these. I used pineapple preserves, raspberry preserves and orange marmalade which was perfect with a hot cup of java!

This sounds really good. I don't believe I've ever see cake or pastry filling in the grocery story near the pie fillings. Where would I find it? You can tell I don't do much baking.

:(

this is the same dough that I use for my ice cream strudel. It's nice to have a new use.

I haven't made this exact recipe but I have made others like it and will try this soon. I have lots of homemade jam and would like to use that for filling. Any advice about that? For instance, should I add flour to the jam (that occurs in some cookie fillings)?

Would 2 cups of ice cream = 1 pint?

These are good but not quite as good as I expected. And I had a hard time getting mine to turn out pretty.
