Frozen Stained Glass

Add to Recipe Box

When Sarah was young she had a favorite frozen treat that I made from a recipe in an old Joys of Jell-o cookbook from the 1960′s. When cut it looked like stained glass so that is what we called it although the original recipe was called Frozen Fruit Salad. The recipe included a package of Jell-o, Cool Whip, mayo, marshmallow, canned pineapple in syrup and a few other ingredients that were certainly not going to work now.  I thought about this recipe for quite a while contemplating different ways to make it work with healthy ingredients. Frozen Stained Glass is back on the menu and is as cool and delicious as ever, but now it’s healthy as well.

Ingredients:

You will need 2 loaf pans for this recipe

• 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh dark sweet cherries, stems removed, pitted and cut in half
• 1 banana, peeled and diced
• 3 pasteurized egg whites (you must use a pasteurized egg product rather than fresh eggs as the eggs will not be cooked)

1. Dissolve the arrowroot with the coconut milk and honey in a small saucepan.
2. Place the pan over high heat, bring to a boil stirring constantly until thick. Set aside to cool.
3. Place the pineapple in a blender and blend into a puree.

   Pour equal amounts into both loaf pans

8. Pour equal amounts into the loaf pans.
9. Place in the freezer for 3-4 hours until frozen.
