Italian ice is a summertime frozen treat. In the heat of the summer, you usually notice Italian ice carts out and about, selling them to cool off the kids. It is nothing but flavored ice, but is smooth and sweet. The favorite flavors seem to be lemon, strawberry, and chocolate. Italian ice should never contain any non-dairy creamer and always is made with pure cane sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup cane sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Combine water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in light corn syrup and lemon juice.
Step 2
Allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Divide cooled mixture amongst 3 plastic containers and freeze for 1 hour. Scrape ice crystals with a fork and return to freezer until ice is semi-frozen, 1 to 2 hours, scraping ice crystals every 30 minutes.
Step 4
Scoop Italian ice into small serving cups or cones and serve.
Cook’s Note:
In place of lemon, add 2 or more cups of any sliced fruit. Cherries, strawberries and watermelon are great or add chocolate to make the greatest chocolate ices.
