Description
Mango Ice Candy is a refreshing and creamy frozen treat perfect for hot days. Made with ripe mangoes, evaporated milk, and a hint of condensed milk for sweetness, this frozen dessert is creamy, fruity, and easy to prepare at home.
Ingredients
For Mango Ice Candy
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2-4 large ripe sweet yellow mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 4-6 tbsp condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Cornstarch Mixture: In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in 3/4 cup cold water, stirring until smooth and free of lumps. This mixture will slightly thicken the liquid base of the ice candy.
- Cook the Cornstarch Base: Pour the dissolved cornstarch mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat. Stir continuously until it thickens, then remove from heat and let it cool completely to room temperature.
- Prepare the Mango Puree: Peel and dice the ripe mangoes. Using a blender or food processor, puree the mangoes until smooth. Depending on desired texture, keep some small chunks for more bite.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cornstarch mixture, mango puree, 1 cup evaporated milk, and 4 to 6 tablespoons of condensed milk. Adjust the amount of condensed milk to your preferred sweetness. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Fill the Ice Candy Bags: Pour the mixture into clean ice candy plastic bags, leaving some space at the top for sealing. Tie or seal the bags securely.
- Freeze: Place the ice candy bags upright in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely frozen.
- Serve: Once frozen, cut the ends of the ice candy bags to open and enjoy the refreshing and creamy mango ice candy directly from the bag.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of condensed milk.
- Make sure the cornstarch mixture is cooled before mixing with the milk and mango puree to avoid curdling.
- You can use store-bought ice candy bags or small resealable plastic bags.
- For a thicker texture, use less water when dissolving the cornstarch.
