Rattafruitti

This dish was inspired by the making of Ratatouille, which was inspired by the movie. I just made it with fruit and ice cream instead of veggies and tomato sauce.


Fruit of choice (bananas, strawberries, apricots, kiwi, mangoes, etc.)
Cheddar Cheese
Angel Food Cake Bar
Ice Cream
Rich Hot Fudge Sauce (recipe below)
Frozen Blueberries
Whipped Cream

Pick several fruits that are about 1/2 dollar sized in circumference to your preference & different in color: I chose the fruits listed above (ok so the last isn't the right size, but I love them, so I used them and then cut the slices to size with a round spice jar lid.) Slice all the fruit very thin with a mandolin (or as thin as you can with a knife.) Slice the cheese and Angel Food Cake as thin as you can and cut into circles with a 1/2 dollar sized jar lid. In a Tupperware bowl, stack the fruit, cheese, & cake, with each circle sightly exposing the one underneath, alternating flavors and colors, in a spiral fashion until you run out of most items. This can then be covered and saved in fridge until you're ready to serve the dessert.

In a small bowl, heat the blueberries in the microwave until thawed and slightly cooked. Beat until smooth or mash and remove skins. Store in fridge.

When you're ready to serve, Heat up some fudge sauce, drizzle some on plate. Drizzle some blueberry sauce on plate, & place a scoop of ice cream in middle. Carefully pick up a small length of rattafuitti layers and place around and up the sides of the ice cream. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
