| Fruit can be turned into delicious desserts that are fun to make. |
Desserts are a welcome treat at the end of a hearty meal. Simple and tasty fruity desserts go great with any meal. Why not have the children join you in making fruity desserts?
The kids will enjoy eating the fruits, especially if they help prepare the desserts. Here are some fruity desserts that can be easily prepared by children.
Cinnamon Bananas
Cinnamon bananas are healthy and sweet. This recipe will serve 6 people.
You need:
· 6 bananas (medium size will do fine)
· 4 cups ice cream (you can choose any flavor of ice cream)
· 2 cups brown sugar
· 1 ½ tablespoons of squeezed lemon juice (you can use the bottled juice if the kids don't like squeezing lemons)
· 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
Mix the sugar and cinnamon and put it in a bowl. Cut each banana lengthwise. The cutting should be done by an adult. Have the children sprinkle the bananas with the lemon juice.
Then let the kids roll the bananas in the cinnamon and sugar mixture until the banana is fully coated. Grill the bananas for a few minutes. When it is ready to serve, put a few scoops of the ice cream on the top. It has a semblance of a banana split, but the taste is more fabulous.
Fruit Surprise Dessert
You can also make a dessert with a lot more different fruits in it, like pineapple, peaches, apples, and raspberries.
You will need:
· 1 cup each of sliced apples, sliced pineapples, sliced peaches, and raspberries
· (You can use other fruits and berries that are in season)
· 3 cups brown sugar
· 1 pint ice cream (any flavor will do)
Mix the fruits together with the sugar until they are fully coated. Most kids are thrilled to mix the fruits in the sugar. Grill the fruits for a few minutes until they become glazed.
Transfer them to a bowl and top it off with several scoops of ice cream.
If you don't have ice cream, you can mix the glazed fruits with cereal and milk. Put the mixture in the freezer to cool off for a few minutes.
Fruits are healthy and when made into sweet desserts, can become more tasty and delicious. Have the children choose their favorite fruits. Just changing the fruits used will make the dessert a new adventure each time it’s made. The kids will look forward to trying each new concoction as they wonder how sweet and tasty the fruity dessert will be.
Frozen Fruit Salad
Another great dessert is fruit salad. The preparation of this dessert needs a little more time because the salad has to be cold when served. You may have to keep the salad in the freezer for several hours. But the actual prep time is very quick and it’s easy to make.
You will need:
· 1 cherry pie filling
· 20 oz. crushed pineapples (drained)
· 1 can condensed milk (sweetened)
· 8 oz. Cool Whip
· ¼ cup lemon juice
· 1 cup pecans (chopped)
·
Just mix a cherry pie filling with crushed pineapples, pecans, condensed milk, lemon juice and Cool Whip. The mixture can be chilled in a casserole dish or even in muffin tins. The fruit salad tastes delicious!
