What is Water-Ice
Water-Ice a.k.a. Italian Water-Ice or Italian Ice is a legendary summertime treat in Philadelphia.
It is a water-based product made with real fruit blended in fine ice to form a soft, velvety smooth texture.
It contains no fat, no cholesterol and is the ideal ice cream alternative for those who are lactose intolerant.
Water-Ice is a very labor intensive product. Preparation of water-ice begins with real fruit or fruit puree
mixed with water, sugar and other ingredients which undergoes a "quick-freezing" process that generations
of Philadelphians have come to expect. |
