Limber De Coco Y Piña Recipes

LIMBER DE COCO (COCONUT ICE)

Steps:

• Mix coconut milk, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a bowl or blender until sugar dissolves and mixture is thoroughly combined.
• Pour mixture into ice trays or popsicle molds. Freeze 8 hours to overnight.

COCONUT-RICE COOLER: HORCHATA DE COCO

Steps:

• One day in advance, combine the rice, crumbled cinnamon, and hot water in a bowl. Cool, cover, and set aside. Refrigerate if the weather is hot.
• The next day, stir the nuts and coconut milk into the soaked rice. Working in batches, add the rice mixture to a blender and process until quite smooth. Each batch should take about 5 minutes. Strain through a medium-mesh sieve and pour into a pitcher.
• In a saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, cold water, and lime zest. Cook stirring, until the sugar is just dissolved. Let cool. Then remove the lime zest. Pour the cooled syrup into the pitcher and mix well. If the drink is too thick for your taste, add more water. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Stir well and pour over ice cubes in tall glasses. If desired, add a splash of rum to each glass before adding the horchata. Garnish with a mint sprig and a piece of cinnamon bark.

LIMBER DE FRAMBUESA

Steps:

• Place seven 8-ounce plastic cups on a tray small enough to fit into your freezer.
• Combine the raspberries and 3 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Let the raspberries cook until they've lost their color, about 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the solids.
• Pour the hot liquid back into the saucepan, add the sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add 2 cups room-temperature water and stir to incorporate. Taste for sweetness, adding a bit more sugar if you'd like. Set aside to cool.
• Once cooled, pour the mixture into the prepared plastic cups, filling them to about 1/4 inch from the brim. Freeze until fully frozen, at least 8 hours. The limbers will keep in the freezer for up to a month.

LIMBER DE CREMA

Steps:

• Place seven 8-ounce plastic cups on a tray small enough to fit into your freezer.
• Combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and 2 cups water in a blender and blend until homogeneous. Taste the mixture for sweetness and adjust to taste; you may want to add up to an extra tablespoon of sugar.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared plastic cups, filling them to about 1/4 inch from the brim. Sprinkle each cup with a bit of ground cinnamon, if desired. Freeze until fully frozen, at least 8 hours. The limbers will keep in the freezer for up to a month.
