Cool Party Cubes
Prep time: 30 minutes
Freeze time: at least 1 hour
Makes: 4 servings
2 squares (2 ounces) white chocolate baking squares
1/2 cup prepared vanilla frosting
4 Blue Bunny Premium Birthday Party Ice Cream
Sandwiches
2 medium firm kiwi, peeled
1 3/4 cups halved small strawberries (or large
strawberries cut into chunks)
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
3 tablespoons peach preserves
(pineapple, mango or apricot could be substituted)
Grate or shred white chocolate with box grater onto
large plate. Thinly spread frosting on one side of one
ice cream sandwich, keeping remaining sandwiches in
freezer. Press frosting side into white chocolate, spread
frosting on unfrosted side, turn and
press into white chocolate.
Return to freezer; repeat with remaining ice cream
sandwiches. Freeze at least 1 hour, until solid. (May be
kept covered in freezer overnight.)
Thirty minutes before serving, cut kiwi into thick
slices, then cut slices into quarters. Place in medium
bowl along with other fruit. Heat preserves in
microwave-safe bowl, just until melted (20 seconds in a
1250 watt microwave), breaking up large pieces of fruit.
Pour over fruit and toss to coat; chill 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove prepared ice cream sandwiches from freezer,
cut each into bite-size squares; arrange with glazed fruit
in 4 dessert bowls or plates.
