Limber
A simple frozen treat made by freezing fruit juice, coconut milk, or sweetened cream in small cups, eaten straight from the container with a small wooden spoon or by peeling back the cup. It's a neighborhood summer staple.

Instructions
- 1
Whisk the coconut milk, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt together until smooth.
- 2
Pour the mixture into small plastic cups. Fill each cup about three-quarters full.
- 3
Insert a small wooden stick or spoon into each cup once slightly frozen, about 1 hour in.
- 4
Freeze completely for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
- 5
To serve, briefly run warm water over the outside of the cup or peel back the plastic.
Chef's tips
Use small plastic cups and insert a small stick or spoon partway through freezing so it stands upright.
Storage
Freeze up to 2 weeks in sealed small cups.
Reheating
Not applicable, served frozen.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Overfilling the cups, leaving no room for the treat to expand slightly as it freezes
- •Using very acidic juice without added sugar, resulting in an overly tart limber (Puerto Rican frozen cup treat)
