IRRESISITIBLE SUMMER DESSERT – TO BEAT THE HEAT

Summertime is always about drinking fresh lemonade, eating fresh fruit to beat the heat. Given this blistering hot Texas weather, I have been making this Irresistible summer dessert – Le Cocoblue, on rotation. I named it so because of the ingredients I added to the popsicles – La Lechera (sweetened condensed milk), Coconut cream (unsweetened) & Blueberries. Having a catchy name makes it a lot more fun….right??? It turned out to be an awesome activity finalizing a name, with my kids going in all crazy. We came up with few whacky fun names & Le CocoBlue won the lottery!!

Let’s tacobout the ingredients – I had some fresh blueberries from our local farmer’s market and strawberries from our neighborhood store, sitting in the fridge. So I thought of using it to make this Irresistible summer dessert in the form of frozen treat. This popsicle is quite refreshing, it is a little sweet, and the coconut flavor with a slight hint of sweet condensed milk plays off the tartness from fruits nicely.
