Cinco De Mayo Helados

 

May 5th or Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that began in Mexico (it celebrates a military victory in 1862 over French forces), but now is celebrated by more people in the U.S. Many Americans like to join the festivities with lively Mexican music and food. For the latter, we recommend our Top Pick of the Week, Palapa Azul Mexican ice creams (helados), sorbets and frozen fruit bars. As an alternative, try Häagen-Dazs’s yummy Mayan Chocolate ice Cream. You can also find authentic Mexican ice cream flavors at Latin American groceries.
