Categories: Fruit desserts

Ingredients

  • 2 fruit roll-ups, any flavor
  • 4 (4-inch) thin pretzel sticks
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup grape juice or juice from frozen berries
  • 4 small bananas, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 cup fruit sorbet
  • 1/2 cup fruit, cut into pieces (such as mandarin oranges, or grapes)

Directions

  1. To make the “sails”: Unroll fruit roll-ups and cut into 4 triangles, about 3 inches on all sides. With a sharp knife, make 3 small cuts along one edge of each triangle; thread onto pretzel sticks.

  2. In 4 soup or cereal bowls, divide blueberries evenly; pour 2 Tbsp. juice into each bowl.

  3. To form “boat”: Place banana halves on opposite sides of bowl (trim banana to fit bowl if necessary); place 1/4 cup sorbet between the bananas.

  4. Scatter fruit over all and push a pretzel “sail” into sorbet. Serve immediately.
