Potecitos ice cream

Save

Any Dominican of my generation will feel nostalgic when reading the words "Ice cream of Potecito". It is difficult to understand if you did not grow up in the Dominican Republic of my time. And I think this is the perfect way to say goodbye to summer.

You know what I mean?

Well, children, sit around Aunt Cara. Let me tell you about the old days, the 70s and 80s ... and the 2000s, and, forget it. You can still buy Potecito ice cream in many Dominican neighborhoods.

Potecito ice cream, like many other Dominican homemade industries (ice, juices, ice cream, fried foods, leaf pies, etc.) is a way for housewives to contribute to the family budget, and in many cases supports the whole family. It is also a fantastic way of recycling: the little pots had to be returned. Fruit ice creams in little pots for baby food, and they were the perfect way to spend our cheles in those days.

We have turned many of these ice creams into palettes and written the recipes: such as coconut , sweet potato and coconut , and the popular " frescavena " of our days.

Summer would not have been the same without these sweeties, and that our children probably will not enjoy. That's why I'm obsessed with creating the palettes with the flavors of my childhood, and that my daughter tries them.

I have to confess that this is not so much a recipe as a guide, an invitation to enter the wonder of my childhood, particularly because this is pure fruit, and without added sugar.

The only problem is that we ate them all in one sitting.
