With the weather now scorching hot in the country, I’m sure most of us are just scrambling for ways to cool ourselves. But honestly, what better way is there than to beat the heat with (literally) cool food!
Of course, we Pinoys have always been a bit creative with food. And we’ve always had our own classic summer desserts to enjoy. Here are some of our classic Pinoy desserts that beat the summer heat:
Sorbetes

Sorbetes (also known as “dirty” ice cream) is the traditional Pinoy version of ice cream. It’s commonly sold in the streets, served in cones or in a piece of pandesal as a Pinoy ice cream sandwich!
Ice Candy

A household favorite, the ice candy is fruit juice (or any other flavored liquid) frozen in a slender plastic tube. Just bite off the tip of the plastic and start sipping the sweet frozen juice from inside.
