Now this is what I call a REAL fruit popsicle

Italian ghiaccioli (g'yah-CH'YOH-lee) are none other than frozen popsicle treats that many a mom would stock the freezer with for hot summer days. Well, these are now making an appearance at gelaterie, and boy are they incredibly GOOD! Real fruit juices (I mean look at that raspberry one up there - it even has a few seeds in it) for an authentic taste that I can only describe as...a thousand times better than that stupid Banita from yesterday. Today we wanted something cold and icy instead of cool and creamy from Il Gelapo, our new favorite gelateria within the Lecco area. This place has a great variety of gelati, ghiaccioli, gelato bars (chocolate dipped and nut-coated) and also frozen desserts for takeaway purchases.

Oh.. drool, the granita, I'm craving an ice pop that doesn't have palm oil in it... lol Coffee Granita, that is just the ultimate dessert for me. Growing up, coffee ice-cream was my favorite... my grandmother, from Sicily would give us coffee pops.

Kat, Twenty's Girl - and to think it's not even that hot for me to go all-out gelato everyday. Some places here have hit 36°C+ figures but us? Not.

Danielle - we can all agree on that one with a big sigh of relief, except that I'm still stuck with 6 remaining Banitas in the freezer.

elle marie - you sicilians have the best sweet treats you know!

Saretta - if it weren't for the granita calling my name I would've gone for 2 popsicles!

Bella - they need to come up with a sangria flavor popsicle so that you can play your castinets and go olé!
