Need a special treat to beat the heat this summer? Don't feel like standing in those long shave ice lines at your local candy stand? Then try this local D.I.Y dessert that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and will most definitely cool you down! Almost every local that lives in Hawaii knows about this special treat. The phrase guri-guri is thought to have orginatated during Hawaii's plantation days (starting in the late 1890s). This treat was supposedly sold to Japanese plantation workers as "goodie-goodie", who pronounced this as "guri-guri". Guri-guri is a treat that's a hybrid between sherbert and ice cream. If you happen to be around Maui Mall look for the famous Tasaka shop and stop in for their famous Guri Guri (one of the few shops that serve Guri Guri now in Hawai'i). Ok, enough history. Lets make GURI GURI!!!! ^_^
Ingredients:
2 cans (12 ounce) strawberry guava juice*
1 can (12 ounce) 7 UP®
1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir vigorously. Freeze for about 1-2 hours, remove from freezer and stir vigorously again (repeat at least twice). Transfer to individual serving containers and freeze until firm, minimum 8 hour
s (preferrably one day or longer).
**NOTES**
-Instead of strawberry guava juice, you can use any flavor of soda or juice of your choosing. When choosing your base flavor, just remember that it will be combined with condensed milk.
-If you want, you can also use an ice cream maker. If so, you won't need to re-stir this after partial freezing.
どうぞめしあがれ!
