ITALIAN ICE RECIPE

Anyone have a recipe for the type of italian ice they make at Mario's? Love that stuff, especially the watermelon one!

hello brschwartz.

I found these recipes on the net I have not tried out myself yet.

This site has the watermelon recipe you like and a lemon one

This page if you do a search for "Italian Ice" it gives you flavors like cherry and chocolate.

I am not sure if they are the same as Mario's or not but it is a recipe.

Hope they help

There's a long chapter on making ices in Harold McGee's book, The Curious Cook. He doesn't specifically address Italian ices, except in a historical context, but he does lay out a system to make ices of virtually any texture and an exceptionally wide variety of fruits.(Pineapple-Avocado ice, anyone?)

I got a hankering for Mario's style watermelon ices too, hoping someone has been successful in the past 4 years! The first link in the reply upthread is no longer alive.
