Spice it up and cool it down with a wasabi popsicle

Wasabi popsicle
That's right , a wasabi ice pop to function as both a palate-cleanser and a tart dessert. According to this week's New York magazine, Masaharu Morimoto, formerly on the Food Network's television show Iron Chef, just put this popsicle on his menu at Morimoto. It is made with fresh wasabi rather than wasabi powder which is much spicier.

It's not everyday that you find a spice being used in a dessert that is supposed to cool you down. Could this be the start of a new trend?

I haven't tried this wasabi popsicle yet. If any of you have, let me know your thoughts.

I don't like wasabi much, but my girlfriend who does said she liked it okay bout wouldn't eat more than a tiny sample of it-- it just isn't a flavour you'd sit down and consume in such a large quantity I guess.
