9/6/15 O&A NYC Food: Mudslide Poptail A Labor Day Treat

Mudslide-Poptail_Endless-Simmer-1

With Labor Day- the unofficial end of summer just a day away its usually the time to spark up the grill or hit the beach once last time. This year Mother Nature has decided to keep the summer heat around a little while longer, so why not end our extended summer with a fun poptail. The Mudslide Poptail  is a fun twist on a traditional mudslide.

Mudslide Poptail

18 oz. vanilla yogurt
1 banana, medium size (2oz)
3 oz. vodka
3 oz. Kahlua
3 oz. Bailey’s Irish Cream
3 tablespoons grated chocolate

Instructions:

1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth, about 1-2minutes.

2. Freeze for about 1 hour or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a popsicle stick upright. Insert popsicle sticks and finish freezing popsicles overnight. To release popsicles run hot water on the outside of popsicle molds for a 5-7 seconds.

Get your mixing hands ready for this mudslide with a twist. We went and added a banana in the mix. The sweetness of the banana neutralizes any tang the vanilla yogurt body may have, and adds a bit of creaminess to the mixture. While we were at it, we also threw in some grated chocolate for added flavor and texture.

Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen has transmogrified history into a fashion statement. Her platform was uniforms. There was the obvious military association in army green and air force blue, epaulets and army pockets, and the diamanté medals that decorated the show’s finale. The words “truth,” “valour,” and “honour” were emphatically bold on jackets and coats. Continue reading
