Keeping it cool is the name of the game this summer! Who doesn’t have great memories of the ice cream truck finding its way to your neighborhood just in time to save you from melting away in the hot July sun? Those Missle Pops, Fudgsicles and Push Up Pops were the stuff that great summers were made of! With ice cream trucks hard to come by these days, the next best thing is a homemade popsicle bursting with tropical pineapple and coconut. Had something more adult in mind? Substitute some Malibu Rum for the coconut water and let the party begin!
