This frozen fruit dessert is such an easy and quick treat to make. If you have frozen fruit and ice cream in the freezer, you can make this in a matter of minutes.
Traditionally, it is made with red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries, individually or in combination.
Quantities do not have to be exact. Adjust as you wish. Scoop ice cream into serving dishes. Pour hot fruit sauce over top. Enjoy!
A strong flavored juice is preferable. Choose one that will complement the fruit. If the resulting sauce needs a bit more flavor, add some lemon juice and sweeten with sugar.
The recipe below, Eis und Heiss, meaning Ice and Hot (pronounced 'ice and hice'), is the actual German name for this treat.
Eis und Heiss
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen fruit
2 cups juice, see above
1 tbsp. corn starch
Ice cream - flavor of your choice
Instructions:
Put frozen fruit into saucepan. Cover with juice.
Bring to simmer. Simmer until fruit is thawed and hot. Occasionally stir gently.
Mix cornstarch with a little water. Slowly stir just enough into simmering fruit until it is the proper consistency - like a sauce.
Add a little lemon juice and/or sugar if needed.
Serve hot over ice cream. Serves 4.
Hints:
In the picture above, I used 28 oz. can of sliced peaches with its juice, 1/3 can frozen peach concentrate (to increase peach flavor), 1 cup frozen raspberries and 1 tbsp. lime juice. Delicious and pretty. The leftovers, served the next day, were totally red. The peaches had taken on the red color. So, for color contrast, make just before serving. The leftovers, heated in the microwave, tasted just as good, though.
