Jump to RecipeTo make the base of Mario's Italian ice, you'll need a fruit syrup of your choice. This can be made by blending your favorite fruit with water and sugar until smooth. You can also use store-bought syrups for convenience.
For a creamy texture, you'll need to add some dairy to the mixture. This can be in the form of condensed milk, heavy cream, or yogurt. The amount of dairy you use will depend on how rich you want your Mario's Italian ice to be.
To balance out the sweetness of the fruit syrup, lemon juice is added. Not only does it add a refreshing zing, but it also helps prevent the ice from becoming too icy.
This is where you can get creative and add your own twist to Mario's Italian ice. You can mix in chunks of fruit, crushed cookies, or even nuts for added texture and flavor.
In a blender, mix together the fruit syrup, dairy, and lemon juice until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow pan or container and place it in the freezer.
After an hour, take the pan out of the freezer and use a fork to stir the mixture. This will help break up any ice crystals that are forming. Place it back in the freezer and repeat this step every hour for about 4-5 hours until the mixture is completely frozen.
Scoop the Mario's Italian ice into bowls or cones and top with your favorite toppings. Now you can savor this delicious and unique frozen treat!
