On a blazing afternoon, serve the fruit directly out of the freezer without thawing it first. The berries and mango cubes turn into self-contained popsicles with a dense, flavor-packed core.

• 3 cups frozen sugared fruit
• vanilla ice cream
• sweet dessert wine, such as Malvasia or Vin Santo
• fresh mint sprig for garnish

Pour frozen fruit into 4 bowls. Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with mint. Serves 4

Variation: For a hot fruit sundae, add 1/4 cup of fruit juice (orange, pineapple, mango, etc.) to the frozen sugared fruit. Warm in the microwave or on the stove over medium heat until hot, stirring constantly. To get a thick, syrupy consistency, continue cooking for another 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over vanilla ice cream. Garnish with mint and a splash of sweet dessert wine.
