Tropical Ice Cream Sandwiches
Diet types:
Recipe submitted by DaVita dietitian Fatima from Oklahoma.
Portions: 15
Serving size: One 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” square
Ingredients
- 30 graham cracker squares
- 15-1/2 ounce can of crushed pineapple in juice, drained (reserve 1/2 cup of pineapple juice)
- 8 packets Splenda® sugar substitute
- 15 scoops (1-1/2 cups) Procel® protein powder
- 8 ounces nondairy whipped topping
- 1 packet envelope Knox® unflavored gelatin
Preparation
- Line a 13” x 9-1/2” baking pan with plastic wrap allowing at least 10” to hang on both sides of pan.
- Arrange 15 graham cracker squares in the pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix crushed pineapple, Splenda® and Procel®, until there are no lumps.
- Fold in whipped topping then set aside. (The folding motion keeps whipped topping airy and light.)
- In a small saucepan, boil 1/2-cup pineapple juice. Add 1 packet of unflavored Knox® gelatin. Mix until dissolved then remove from heat.
- Lightly fold in gelatin mixture with the whipped topping mixture.
- Pour mixture evenly on the graham crackers.
- Top mixture with remaining 15 graham cracker squares.
- Put plastic wrap from the sides of the pan over the graham crackers. Cover with aluminum foil and seal well. Freeze overnight or at least 6 hours.
- After freezing, cut into fifteen 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” pieces and put individual sandwiches into zip-locking style freezer bags for easy storage and serving.

Easy to make and tasted good. Strawberries maybe even better tasting (like a frozen stawberry shortcake)
