FOOD - GOODIE GOODIE (HAWAIIAN STRAWBERRY SHERBET)

Goodie goodies is kind of a strange name for a food, right?  I realized this the first time I told my boyfriend about it, and he gave me that look like, 'oh you are talking about another weird Hawaiian thing'.  Regardless of the name, it is super delicious and really easy to make!


Goodie Goodie is a Hawaiian sherbet like dessert.  It doesn't have cream like an ice cream, and its not made of real fruit like sorbets.  I have been feeling a little homesick lately because I am not going home at all this summer, so to compensate I have been making a lot of foods that remind me of home.   So, if you like Hawaiian snacks, stay tuned!

What you will need:
- 3 cups strawberry soda (or 2 cans if you can find them)
- 1 can of seltzer (or club soda) or 7 Up (use seltzer if you like a plain strawberry, 7 Up if you want a little bit of lemon)
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

How to make Goodie Goodie:
- Whisk together ingredients.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours (or overnight).
- Pour into an ice cream maker and prepare according to your ice cream makers instructions. *
- Transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours.
* If you don't have an ice cream maker, skip chilling in the refrigerator and freeze in a freezer safe container, mixing every hour until frozen.

Enjoy!
