How to Make the Fruit Roll-Ups and Ice Cream Treat
After gathering your materials, unroll a Fruit Roll-Up and scoop a healthy spoonful of the ice cream of your choice into the center of the fruit snack before wrapping it around the cool dessert. It’s really that easy! And now, you have a new snack that the child in you will love.
My Honest Review of the Fruit Roll-Ups and Ice Cream Treat
The secret to this hack is the unexpected — a satisfying and headphone-shattering crunch! Crunch aside, however, it tastes delicious. I opted for a blue raspberry-flavored Fruit Roll-Up and chose Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream by Favorite Day from my local Target. The ice cream was creamy and smooth, and the Fruit Roll-Up became a sweet, crunchy exterior for the treat.
Since this is such a simple recipe, the options are truly limitless and you can even prepare a couple and freeze them for when that late-night craving strikes. While this might not be the most gourmet of desserts, this is an easy go-to when you have time, but would rather spend it catching up on Taste the Nation.
