[Guest guest]

Don't know whatcha call this, a drink, a slush, a fruit dessert -- whatevah, it

looks so good! ) (I believe they serve these at the store, but I'm not sure

because, woops, the threw the article away. So, it may just be a recipe

invented by the owner, dunno.)

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 banana -- sliced

6 strawberries

1 thick slice fresh pineapple -- cut in chunks

1/2 cup cantaloupe -- cut in chunks

1/2 cup seedless watermelon -- cut in chunks

1/2 green pear -- seeded and sliced

1 orange -- juice of

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 cup loose oat granola

1 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup slivered almonds

 

Makes 4 escamochas

 

Place banana, strawberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, watermelon, pear, apple,

papaya, mango and kiwi on a cutting board. Chop to 1/4-inch dice, being

careful not to smash fruit, or pulse in food processor until diced, but not

liquid. Transfer chopped fruit to a medium bowl and squeeze orange juice over

fruit, gently mixing. Divide fruit mixture into 4 equal portions.

 

Take tall serving glasses (about 12 ounces) and drizzle inside of each with 1

tablespoon or so of condensed milk. Sprinkle as much granola as needed over

milk, so it sticks to sides of glass.

 

Fill each glass with 2/3-portion of fruit mixture. Sprinkle on a thin layer of

coconut, granola and about 1 tablespoon of condensed milk. Fill glass with

remaining third of fruit; top off with a tablespoon of slivered almonds,

another layer of coconut, to taste, and another tablespoon of condensed milk.

Repeat for the other three glasses and serve immediately.
