Re: not much time today to cook -
I made dessert the other day! LOL! Hey - it's a frozen dessert and you can make it a day or two ahead! But we had this after dinner:
In bowl, combine 16 oz. sour cream with 3/4 c. sugar with 4 t. fresh lemon juice; set aside.
I used a muffin tin with liners for this as well as a rectangular pan. (The muffin tin I used only makes 6 muffins - that is why I also used a pan. You can used either - it's your choice.)
In bowl, combine and mix well - 2 cans (15 - 16 oz. each) fruit cocktail and one 10-oz. jar maraschino cherries, drain the cherries not the fruit cocktail; cut cherries in half. Sprinkle with 1/c chopped walnuts and 2 bananas sliced; combine. Add sour cream mixture; blend gently. Transfer to freezer proof container, lined muffin tin or rectangular/square pan; cover and freeze.
Cut into squares if using a pan and let thaw a bit before serving. I love frozen fruit and I eat it still frozen!
I have substituted chunk pineapple or diced peaches for the fruit cocktail. Red and green maraschino cherries halved make a nice presentation during the holiday season too!
NOTE: A shallow pan works best.
