German Frozen Fruit Dessert – Oma's Heiss und Eis

This frozen fruit dessert, aka Heiss und Eis, is such an easy and quick treat to make. It's a favorite among the easy, quick dessert recipes. If you have frozen fruit and ice cream in the freezer, you can make this treat in a matter of minutes. 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups frozen fruit
• 2 cups juice, see hints below
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Ice cream - flavor of your choice - enough for 4 servings

Instructions:

1. Put frozen fruit into saucepan. Cover with juice. 
2. Bring to simmer. Simmer until fruit is thawed and hot. Occasionally stir gently. 
3. Mix cornstarch with a little water. Slowly stir just enough into simmering fruit until it is the proper consistency - like a sauce.
4. Add a little lemon juice and/or sugar if needed.
5. Serve hot over ice cream.

Notes/Hints:

• Instead of a totally frozen fruit dessert, use a 28 ounce can of sliced peaches with its juice, ⅓ can frozen peach concentrate (to increase peach flavor), 1 cup frozen raspberries and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Delicious and pretty. 
• 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 leftovers, heated in the microwave, tasted delicous.
