Summer is nearly over. Of course when you have kids, summer is measured by “summer” break as dictated by the school and not by the seasonal calendar. We have less than two weeks of break left. Seriously, Matt and I are so bummed about it. Sure, we like routine and structure, but we’ll miss the boys and the daily poolside fun. So for this last weekend hoorah, that also coincides with Labor Day, I’ll be making this ice cream terrine for our goodbye-summer-break pool party.
To start this recipe, you’ll need to pick up two boxes of Fruttare’s ® Coconut and Milk Bars, along with two Strawberry Fresa boxes. For the add-in fruit, use what you prefer. I chose raspberries (frozen works better for this recipe).
And sure, I could have picked up my Fruttare® fruit and juice bars anywhere, but I teamed up with Safeway (Vons and Pavillions here in SoCal) to develop this recipe for a fast and easy Summer Entertaining recipe. It worked out great for me, because Safeway is not only my grocery store of choice, but it so happens to be located in our town center, which is in walking distance. Yay for me, and here’s a yay for you—Safeway has a Summer Savings Sweepstakes going on from now until September 5 where five $100 store gift card winners will be chosen daily!
Now once you’ve picked up the ingredients, you can see it takes less than ten minutes to assemble this ice cream terrine. The hardest part will be waiting for it to freeze to a ready-state for slicing. So while I was waiting, I went back to the Safeway, because I forgot butter for another recipe.While I was there for that, I ended up checking out with that and five bags of filled with various nuts and loose tea from the bulk bins. A new addition to our store that I absolutely love!
There you have it—a summer entertaining recipe and link for a sweepstakes where you can win $100 daily. Here’s to kick starting the week off the right way!
Coconut and Strawberry Ice Cream Terrine
Ingredients
- 2 boxes Fruttare® Coconut Milk Bars
- 2 boxes Fruttare® Strawberry Fresa Bars
- 12 oz. frozen raspberries
Instructions
Preparation: Line a 9x5 loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure there is at least a two inch overhang on each side.
- Break up 4 dessert bars of each flavor and press into pan. Sprinkle raspberries on top. Continue to layer like this until all ingredients are used. Fold plastic wrap over top and press down to fill any gaps. Place in freezer until frozen solid, about 2-4 hours (time will depend on freezer setting and how full your freezer is).
Oooh yummy! What a neat idea and so refreshing!
I am totally obsessed with the fact that you used Fruttare! I love those bars!
And 3 ingredients to summer goodness? Alllll over that.
Absolutely beautiful photos as always Naomi! Pinned:)
love the idea of repurposing popsicles for this — and I love the coconut Fruttare bars….they are SO good!
I haven’t tried “Fruttare” bars yet – but – what a lovely combo!!
This is the perfect way to say goodbye to summer. Love the fun colors and flavors!
Love!!! Perfect treat 🙂
Repurposing. Gotta love it! Great idea & pinned 🙂
Fun summer dessert!
Whoa. This flavor combo is off the chizzzzarts!
What a wonderful way to celebrate the last days of summer! Thanks for sharing, Naomi!
How pretty!
this is so pretty!!!
What a fun and easy summer dessert!
Such a FUN idea for dessert!
My kids are back to school and right back into the crazy routine of school, etc. We’re going to pretend we’re still in the middle of summer during the long weekend coming up! This is such a great idea for an easy summertime dessert.
So creative and pretty!
I hadn’t heard of Fruttare bars until this post; will definitely have check them out the next time I shop!
We are in the same boat as you Naomi on what defines summer. Kids are back in school and despite temperatures still being ‘summer’ our routine is not. Fortunately with Labor Day coming there is one last hurrah and can’t think of a more summery recipe than this one!
I love how you transformed your Frutare bars into this beautiful terrine, and the flavor combination sounds delicious!
mmmmm, what a perfect last treat for summer!
That’s pretty much brilliant. I never would have thought to use popsicles like that! How fun!!
I could eat this all day long! Such a gorgeous and simple dessert. I need to go pick up a few boxes of those Fruttare Bars today!!
This is genius. So beautiful, and they sound so delicious!
Love those layers!
Love this simple, yet stunning idea! Gorgeous colors and layers.
And I totally know what you mean by the end of summer. It’s strange, because after a month of rain here in Amsterdam, I feel like we haven’t even had a summer yet. Good thing recipes like these will bring some of that summery feeling to the table.
My family would love this dessert! So awesome!!
This is simply gorgeous! Love the fruit in it! Pinned.
My husband would love me to make it, but I’m not sure I’d share 🙂 It’s really fantastic!!
This looks wonderful! The perfect sweet summer treat!
Beautiful colors!
I love this flavor combo! And that texture – it looks dreamy!
Such a creative use of those tasty bars!
We love Fruttare bars (banana and strawberry are our favorites) and your twist on them is absolutely irresistible! What a great dessert to celebrate the end of summer!
Ha, I couldn’t wait for summer to be over! 🙂 What a great idea to make the bars into a terrine!!
Fruit terrine from fruit bars? GENIUS. Love love this!
So gorgeous, and I love how easy this is!! I grew up going to Safeway – I wish there was one here where I live now. I miss it!!
Oh what a fun way to use the pops! Looks stunning.
