FROZEN PINEAPPLE TREAT

Steps:

• Slice the pineapple in half lengthwise, leaving the greens attached. Use a paring knife to cut away the fruit and core from both halves of the pineapple, leaving a thin border of fruit intact to make 2 pineapple boats. Cut the fruit into chunks and set aside. Place the pineapple boats in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
• Peel the banana and cut into chunks. Place the pineapple and banana chunks on a parchment-lined baking sheet or dish and freeze until frozen, about 4 hours.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the frozen fruit and cream of coconut. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick paste, about 3 minutes. Gradually drizzle in 1/2 cup water, pulsing, until the consistency of soft serve is reached.
• Scoop the soft serve into the frozen pineapple halves and garnish each with maraschino cherries and a small bottle of rum if desired. Serve immediately.

FROZEN PINEAPPLE DREAM

Steps:

• Crush graham crackers into 1 1/3 cups crumbs and combine them with sugar & butter.
• Press evenly across bottom of a 9x13" glass baking dish.
• Bake graham crust at 350°F for 8 minutes then set aside to cool.
• Drain pineapple and reserve the juice.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over pineapple juice and allow to stand for 2 minutes until dissolved, then microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and let stand another 2 minutes until slightly thickened, then stir back into the pineapple.
• In a large bowl, cream together mascarpone cheese & Splenda until smooth and fold into pineapple.
• Add sherbet & food coloring to pineapple and stir until evenly mixed (You may place mixture into the freezer for a few minutes if it seems too thin - My sherbet was too soft and so I put my pineapple/sherbet mixture in the freezer for about 15 minutes at this point until it was just about as thick as the whipped topping).
• Gently fold in whipped topping and pour evenly over cooled graham crust.
• Cover and freeze for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until you are ready for dessert.
• Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes in advance of cutting into individual squares which may be decorated with optional pineapple ice cream topping and additional whipped cream.
