Finally some good food news!

moogarita.jpgThe strawberry industry announced that we are all in luck! Thanks to the craziness that late winter produced, weatherwise, the strawberry harvest is better than usual. I love strawberries. Especially with cream and champagne. Or chocolate. Or plain. So while I’m in a strawberry mood, I’m going to post an early recipe for your kid-friendly cinco de mayo celebration! Cheers!

This particular recipe comes from Ruggles ice cream, but since we don’t have Ruggles in the South, I’m not going to suggest any particular brand loyalty!

Ruggles Strawberry Frozen Moo-garitas
4 cups Ruggles Strawberry Premium Ice Cream
1 10-12-oz can Frozen, non-alcoholic margarita mix
1 quart Strawberries, thinly sliced
8 Whole strawberries, set aside from quart, for
garnish
1/2 Lime, thinly sliced, for garnish
1/2 cup Coarse sugar, to coat rims of serving glasses
Mix slightly softened Ruggles Strawberry Premium Ice Cream with 1
cup frozen margarita mix. Cover and put in freezer until needed.
Set aside eight nice, whole strawberries for garnish. Thinly slice
remainder of strawberries and combine with remaining frozen margarita mix.
Cover and chill in refrigerator.
Coat the rims of serving glasses with coarse sugar to resemble salt on
margarita glasses: Rub rims with a cut lime or dip the rims in a little
lime juice or water. Then dip in the sugar. Set aside.
To serve: Layer strawberry mixture with ice cream mixture. Thickness of
layers will depend on the type of serving dish. You may substitute any
parfait glass or ice cream sundae dish if you prefer not to use margarita
glasses.
Garnish with a fresh strawberry and/or a very thin slice of lime.
Makes 8 servings.

    This is a great recipe.. I wonder how it would taste with an alcoholic margarita in it. (You could keep it virgin for any expectant mothers in the room.)

    I thought about the alcohol, too! I just can’t imagine Tequila and Ice Cream… Blech.
    And I always have lemonade for expectant moms…
