Bananarama ice cream. Chocolate kiwi popsicles. Watermelon pie. One of my summertime childhood memories is eating the yummy watermelon sherbet dessert at Friendly’s restaurant.
I loved it, so I decided to try to replicate this dessert for my own kids’ summertime memories! I made some “watermelon pie” for our 4th of July feast this year…to great success! My 4-year-old daughter loved it – like mother, like daughter! She saw it in the pan before I sliced it up…at that point it was still just a circle. When I started to cut the pie, making the watermelon slices, she exclaimed very earnestly, “Wow!
Chocolate Kiwi Popsicles. 1) Kiwi - peeled and cut in 1 inch thick rounds, with a popsicle stick in each round.
Freeze on a tray in the freezer. 2) 1 cup Chopped dark chocolate and 1/2 cup Coconut oil - melted over a double boiler, then cooled to room temp. 3) Dip each Kiwi-pop into the chocolate mixture (it will immediately turn crispy) and place on a tray to refreeze or pass around right now. I've had Kiwi in salads, and cakes, but when I received a box of kiwi from the Zespri Kiwi Growers (as part of a blogging program), my first thought was how much I wanted to keep the kiwi looking and tasting as true as possible. Ziplock baggie ice cream.
