We have 5 days to go before our March giveaway ends. Have you entered yet? To encourage you to join, here is a popular summer treat you can easily prepare using this Magic Bullet Hi-speed blender. Avocado ice candy!
Ice candy is the Filipino’s version of popsicle but instead of freezing the flavored liquid around a stick, the concoction is funneled into plastic casings which are handy for on-the-go enjoyment. These freezer pops are sold in almost every corner variety store and are made with a variety of tropical ingredients in season such as young coconut, mango, melon, pineapple and avocado blended with fruit juice, sugared water or milk. If you are from the U.S. and have no local access to ice candy plastic bags, you can purchase them at Amazon (affiliate link!) or use regular popsicle molds instead. Enjoy!
Avocado Ice Candy
Ingredients
- 4 large avocados
- 4 cups fresh milk
- 1 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- Cut avocado in half, discard pit and scoop out flesh.
- In a blender, combine avocado, fresh milk, condensed milk and sugar. Process until smooth.
- Using a funnel, pour blended mixture into plastic bags up to 3/4 full leaving about 3 inches of plastic.
- Twist the remaining three inches until tube is firm but not too tight and tie into a knot. Arrange filled plastic tubes in a single layer on a flat dish and freeze for about 2 to 3 hours or until frozen.
Do you know if this recipe work for standard popsicles? Or what the alternate ratios might be? I used to have these with my cousins each summer. Now, I would like to share them with my husband and kids. 🙂
I want to try this one how long can I keep it ? A week or so?
Hello. Is it possible to use powdered bear brand and just add waters in it instead of using fresh milk?
Hello Ella
Absolutely 🙂
Oh my…! I miss this avocado flavored ice candy. I’ll probably add a few tablespoons of cornstarch to make the texture smoother: my mom’s tip when making them ice candies. 🙂
Hello Jane
