Storybrooke has Frozen over in the new Once Upon A Time Season which airs tonight! Emma, Ragina, Snow White, Prince charming, Rumplestiltskin, Hook and the others all come back in the new season only to find their home engulfed in ice. Why? Because Elsa, the Snow Queen, has been set free in Storybrooke!
In anticipation of Stroybrooke turned Frozen, Once Upon a Time has given us fans two Frozen desserts to make and enjoy.
1. Sour Cherry & Raspberry Granita
Everyone loves ice cream, but what about granita? It’s a dairy-free sugary frozen treat made with fresh or frozen fruit everyone will love. Let me repeat that, ZERO DAIRY. Even Olaf could get behind that!
Ingredients:
Granita
2 cups Fresh or frozen Bing Cherries (pitted)
2 cups Fresh or Frozen Raspberries
1 cup Simple Syrup
1 Lemon (juice and zest)
pinch Salt
Mint (to garnish)
Simple Syrup
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
Garnish
1/2 cup Fresh Raspberries
2 Tsp Lemon Zest
1/4 cup Mint Leaves (torn)
Directions:
1. In a blender combine Cherries, Raspberries, 1/2 cup Simple Syrup, Lemon and Salt. Blend until combined.
2. Stir in remaining Simple Syrup. Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish and place in freezer. Use a fork to scrape the mixture every 30 minutes until it is frozen and resembles shaved ice.
3. To serve, toss the garnish ingredients and sprinkle over individual servings of Granita.

2. Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars
Kristoff and Sven are always on the go which means they don’t always have the time to sit down and enjoy their dessert. Have no fear, The Chew has just the solution! Michael Symon shows you (and Sven) how to transform everyone’s favorite summertime dessert into an on-the-go frozen treat!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Flour
1/2 cup Milk Powder
1/4 cup Confectioners’ Sugar
2 teaspoon Cornstarch
1/2 cup Freeze Dried Strawberries
pinch Salt
4 tablespoon Butter (melted)
2 pints Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
1/2 pint Strawberry Sorbet
Directions:
1. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with Cooking Spray then line it with wax paper. Set aside. Remove the Ice Cream and Sorbet from the freezer to soften.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the Flour, Milk Powder, Confectioners’ Sugar, Cornstarch, Strawberries and Salt. Pulse a few times to mix the ingredients and break up the Strawberries in to smaller pieces. Next add the melted Butter and continue to pulse until small crumbs form. Sprinkle a third of the mixture in to the bottom of the prepared 8×8. Set aside.
3. When the Ice Cream has softened (you can put it in to a mixing bowl and work it with a spatula) spread one of the pints in to the bottom of the pan in an even layer, over the crumbs. Next, spread the Sorbet over the top followed by the other pint of Ice Cream.
4. Sprinkle another third of the crumb mixture over the top and place in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight.
5. Un-mold the Ice Cream and peel the wax paper. Cut into rectangles and stick a popsicle stick into each one. Dust the sides with the remaining crumb and place back in the freezer for 30 minutes to set, and enjoy.
