I hate to keep harping on the weather but man is it hot. Stupid hot. Ridiculous hot. As in the only work I can possibly do is eat a fudgesicle while floating in the pool hot. Today makes 34 days of 100+ degree weather and as far as the extended forecast goes, there is nothing but 100+ in my future. Which means I have to buy more popsicles. I've been working on all kinds of recipes for staying cool. I haven't found anything better than popsicles. Well popsicles with booze added to them. I highly recommend those if you're experiencing the same kind of weather. And also this mousse recipe. It's cool, fluffy and very refreshing. With just a touch of rum, it is the perfect adult Summer dessert. Mr. Devilish Dish ate 4 of them. In one night. Trust me, they will hit the spot!

Tropical Mousse

1 1/2 ounces banana rum
3 tablespoons frozen pina colada mix, thawed
1 can pineapple rings
whipped cream (optional)
marachino cherries (optional)
In a mixing bowl, place the ice cream and let it sit at room temperature until soft. Beat the softened ice cream until it has reached a creamy consistency. Add the egg yolks. Beat at a high speed for 3 minutes. Add the rum and pina colada mix. Pour mixture into sundae glasses and refrigerate overnight until chilled. Garnish with whipped cream, pineapple rings and marachino cherries.
Prep Time: Approximately 20 minutes Cook Time: 0 needs to chill
NOTE: I used banana rum because Mr. DD loves anything banana and also because neither of us is a huge coconut fan. The banana flavor took the edge off the coconut. Feel free to use regular rum, coconut rum or spiced rum if you'd like!
