Fresh Fruit Pineapple Ice Cream Dessert

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
3 egg whites
1 large banana
1/2 cup drained, crushed pineapple
1 tsp grated orange peel
2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream whipped
6 maraschino cherries, chopped

Combine sugar and water in a small pan and bring to a boil until it spins a thread (232° F on a candy thermometer).

Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Slowly pour the hot syrup prepared above into the egg whites, beating as you pour and continuing beating until cool. Set this mixture into a refrigerator while you prepare the fruits.

Peel banana and put into the blender, add pineapple, orange peel and lemon juice. Whirl in blender until blended (or you may mash banana with a fork and them mix in the pineapple, orange peel and lemon juice using a rotary hand mixer). Fold this fruit mixture into the beaten egg whites, then fold in the whipped cream and maraschino cherries. Spoon into a deep refrigerator freezing tray or a 9″ square dish; cover and put into freezer until firm. Makes about 1 quart.

Ice Cream Cake

20 ladyfingers, standard size
2 quarts vanilla ice cream
6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate
2 packages raspberries
18 ounces crushed pineapple
1 tbsp frozen lemon concentrate
1 tsp almond flavoring
1 tsp imitation rum extract
6 maraschino cherries, chopped
3 tbsp blanched pistachio nuts, chopped
sweetened whipped cream
sugared strawberries
mint leaves

Line the bottom and sides of a 9″ spring form pan with ladyfingers split in half.

The Orange Layer
Mix 1 quart vanilla ice cream with the frozen undiluted concentrated orange juice. Working quickly to prevent ice cream from becoming too soft. Pour into mold over bottom layer of ladyfingers. Freeze firm.

The Raspberry Layer
Meanwhile, mix raspberries and pineapple in a blender along with lemon concentrate (or puree in a food mill). Strain to remove seeds and freeze until partially frozen. Then place in a chilled bowl and beat lightly. Spoon over the orange layer and refreeze.

The Flavor Layer
Mix almond and rum flavoring along with cherries and nuts with the other quart of vanilla ice cream. Pour this over the raspberry layer and freeze overnight.

To Serve
Remove from freezer 2 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream, strawberries and mint. Makes 12 servings.
