I is for Italian Ice.....

My blogging friends and I get together every other Wednesday to share recipes that start or feature ingredients as we work our way through the alphabet.  Let's take a look at the other I recipes being shared today........

• Sneha’s Recipe: Instant Urad Dal Flour & Rava Medhu Vadas 
• Blogghetti: Italian Chopped Salad 
• Mayuri’s Jikoni: Ice Apple Salad 
• Jolene’s Recipe Journal: Ice Cream Wafflewiches 
• Food Lust People Love: Fresh Cherry Ice Cream 
• A Day in the Life on the Farm: Italian Ice 
• Karen’s Kitchen Stories: Iced Gems 
• A Messy Kitchen: Irish Colcannon Mac and Cheese 
• Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice: Sun-Dried Tomato & Kale Italian Pasta Salad 
• Culinary Cam: Es Teler (Indonesian Drunk Ice)

This sweet treat only takes minutes to come together but then it needs to be put in the freezer for several hours to firm up enough that it turns slushy when you run a fork through it.

When I gave this to my husband, he said, "Oh, it's like a frozen Lindy".  I had never heard of a frozen Lindy.  He told me that as a child, his folks would take him to a drug store in Detroit where he would get a frozen treat in a dixie cup.  I was happy I could give him some fond food memories. He really enjoyed it, and then he called his sister and they reminisced about going for those treats.

Last year, I celebrated the Letter I with Instant Pot Bean and Smoked Pork Soup.
