It's a really interesting fact that when it's cold out, ice cream sales actually increase! However, the way people buy ice cream changes during the winter. Instead of going out to ice cream parlors, they buy their ice cream in supermarkets and bring it home to eat. People also make more ice cream at home during the winter. Like my young friend above, with a delicious creation his mom and dad made.
Our friends left Kauai several years ago and moved to Florida. They purchased a popsicle mold from Amazon.com and developed this really easy recipe for these delicious frozen treats, which they want to share with all of you:
3/4 cup Aunty Lilikoi Passion Fruit Juice
1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup half-and-half.
Blend the ingredients together, pour into popsicle molds, insert popsicle sticks and freeze overnight.
Our friend tells us when they offer their guests a homemade "popsicle", their guests expect frozen kool-aid in a dixie cup. Are they ever surprised and delighted to get this instead! Enjoy Aunty Lilikoi popsicles with your family during the holidays--and when it warms up outside, too!
