Tropical Cool

The weather  lately has had many of us craving for ice-cold desserts, drinks or anything to beat the sweltering heat. 

I stumbled upon this dessert in a newspaper recently.  It used FairPrice juice drinks (these are made-in-Singapore treats) which come in flavours like Apple Juice with Aloe Vera, Orange Juice drink with pulp and Calamansi Honey drink that delicious thirst quenchers.

Combine delicious juice drinks with tropical fruit cocktail for an irresistible dessert ...
