The first thought that raced through my mind as I opened to box of Pulo Philippine Cuisine cooking sauces was, “What the heck did I get myself into?”

If you’ve ever been to my site before, you know that I don’t do cooking articles. I do interviews, and I write about the food related events. This will be my first ever attempt at a recipe, so please be gentle when you leave a comment below.

The full lineup of Pulo Philippine Cuisine sauces & marinades

I’ve only had Filipino cuisine once before at an event in Toronto, so when Food Bloggers Of Canada offered me the opportunity to use these sauces to create something new, I jumped at it. I also loved the fact that these sauces and marinades are all Canadian made and contain no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.

So back to my dilemma – what unique recipe can I come up with? I spoke to a couple of my foodie friends who suggested using them to make a dessert. I recently bought an ice cream machine so naturally I started thinking about a savory ice cream.

Coconut ice cream is one of my favorites and in Trinidad we ate a lot of it, there was so many different variations and, thankfully, I haven’t grown tired of it. I decided to use the Coconut Adobo sauce as the flavour base for my ice cream.  Not only would it provide a lovely coconut flavour, but there’s also some chili in there that would give a subtle, spicy after taste,

I was quite pleased with the results. The sweetness and richness of the ice cream was a perfect complement to the vinegar and chili in the Coconut Adobo sauce. I even added some extra coconut milk to enhance the coconut flavour and tame the spiciness a little.

I know that one of the benefits to using these sauces is the convenience it gives in the preparation of meals. Admittedly, my ice cream recipe takes time and a bit of planning, but, I wanted to show the versatility of this product, and highlight just one of the many, many ways in which it can be used to create some delicious food. I hope you make this and share your results with me.
