Cool down with these creamy, homemade milk ice candies! Made with simple pantry ingredients, they’re smooth, refreshing, and perfect for the whole family.
🥛 Ingredients
- 1 litre fresh milk (or liquid milk)
- 1 tin (390–410 ml) evaporated milk (e.g., Peak Milk)
- 1 cup powdered milk
- ½–1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons corn flour (cornstarch), optional for a creamier texture
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Small clean ice candy sachets and rubber bands
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Corn Flour
If using corn flour, mix it with ¼ cup of the fresh milk until smooth and free of lumps.
2. Heat the Milk
Pour the remaining fresh milk into a saucepan. Add the sugar and heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
3. Thicken the Mixture
Stir in the dissolved corn flour and continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly. Do not allow it to boil vigorously.
4. Add the Remaining Ingredients
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the evaporated milk, powdered milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Cool Completely
Let the mixture cool to room temperature before filling the sachets.
6. Fill the Sachets
Using a funnel, carefully pour the mixture into clean ice candy sachets, filling each about ¾ full. Seal tightly with rubber bands.
7. Freeze
Lay the sachets flat in the freezer and freeze for 6–8 hours, or overnight, until completely frozen.
8. Enjoy!
Serve straight from the freezer for a delicious, creamy homemade frozen treat.
