Easy Recipes: Frozen Fruit Desert!

I was recently reading an article about the United States experiencing the warmest 12 months in it's history - and with temperatures routinely hitting 100+ for the past month, I can believe it!  Amazingly and despite the temperatures, my little garden is still living!

Now, one day I was browsing Sam's Club (through my love of frugality) and saw this huge bag of Dole frozen fruit.  And since this summer has been very... well, summery with the temperatures, I thought to myself  "what's more perfect in the summer than using your fresh herbs and your sense of cheapness to create something easy and good?"  The answer, my friends?  Nothing!  So here it is, the:
