Cool Treats for Hot Days

The pretty, sunny weather is great, but does it have to be SO hot?!

We can’t invite you into our cooler, but we can hook you up with some frozen goodness and give you some ideas for making the most of your new cool ingredients.

Ravifruit purees are easy to use and come in 1kg containers.

Ravi “Guri Guri”

We love Tasaka Guri Guri on Maui, and since we can’t get there right now, we were inspired to create our own version of their delicious sherbet using Ravifruit frozen puree. It’s not quite like the original, but it’s simple to make and so refreshing!

Make it:

  • 1 container Ravifruit puree
  • 1 14-oz. can condensed milk
  • 1 can soda

Whisk ingredients together in a bowl. Freeze. Eat.

The details: If you have an ice cream maker, use it. If not, just put everything into a covered container in your freezer and whisk it a couple times during the freezing process as it sets.

Some combos we like:

  • Strawberry Puree + Sprite
  • Pineapple Puree + Vanilla Extract + Sprite or Vanilla Cream Soda
  • Blood Orange Puree + Maui Brewing Co. Ginger Soda



 

Easy Cocktails

Show off your newfound bartending skills to your virtual pau hana crowd, or whip up a batch for the family (substitute soda for the alcohol for a kid-friendly mocktail) and improve everyone’s mood when the hot weather hits.
