Zoffix Znet

If fruits are all peeled and cut, it takes about 3 minutes to make this. The photos show a portion for one [really hungry] person.

The dish contains ice-cream, which melts quite fast. Along with fresh fruits, I really don't suggest you stick in in the freezer but if the ice-cream is completely melted - the dish loses a lot of its taste. Make sure you make this right before serving.

I won't list quantities as you'll need only a part of a whole fruit for some items or a couple for others. Read the instructions and judge the quantity yourself.

Ingredients

• Pineapple
• Green seedless grapes
• Bananas
• Peaches
• Kiwi
• Seedless watermelon
• Mango
• "Tropical" flavored stirred yogurt.
• Low fat sour cream (but see notes at the end)
• Some kind of ice-cream. I've used "Oreo" one with pieces of Oreo cookies in it and it worked great.
• Optionally - shredded coconut.

Before we proceed, I'd like you to understand how this dish works taste-wise. I think it's a good idea to tell the person eating it how to eat it. You'll need a deep dish, but not too wide. The one in the photos is almost perfect, but I could not finish the entire thing despite the fact that I was quite hungry :)

A person should start eating from the top, completing the entire "layer" before moving on further down. The reason for that is because the fruits are arranged in a special way: eat a piece of watermelon, was it tasty? Now eat a piece of banana and eat the same watermelon again, seems not as sweet. That's the idea in this dish. Anyway.. onto the makin'.

Bananas + yogurt

Ice-cream layer

Top fruit layer

Sour-cream layer

• Peel and slice the banana and lay the pieces in one layer covering the entire bottom of the dish.
• Put flavored yogurt over it - just covering the bananas.
• Lay cut mango pieces in one layer covering the yogurt. I had a really bad mango, quite not ripe at all, so I cut it in thin, long pieces.
• Now, see the photo. You'll need grapes, watermelon pieces and a scoop of ice-cream. NOTE: ice-cream melts quite fast. I suggest you postpone taking it out of the freezer until this entire level is done. The ice-cream scoop goes into the center while watermelon pieces and grapes alternate around the ice-cream.
• Dump peach and pineapple pieces on top to cover previous layers.
• Now the tricky part, I used a "real" sour cream with lots of fat in it and that didn't quite taste right. I suggest you use a very low fat sour cream or plain yogurt. Cover the entire top of the dish with sour cream/yogurt so it would look all white.
• Put kiwi half-slices on top to look pretty, put one grape in the center and sprinkle with shredded coconut if you'd like. All done!

This is what the final product should look like:
