During the hot season, Filipinos are craving for something yummy and cold, that’s why we have a lot of cold refreshment like the famous halo-halo, ice candy (avocado ice candy, mango ice candy, ube ice candy and buko ice candy) and popsicles (mango ice drop). In this recipe we will be sharing with you the famous Ice Buko popsicle, you can easily do this for your family or use it for your sari-sari store business.

Ice Buko Recipe varies from one seller to another, this is because of the ingredients they incorporate into the popsicle. The usual Ice Buko comes with shredded young coconut meat, condensed milk, sugar, and the special one has some red monggo beans on top. Aside from the delectable taste, the young coconut meat ingredient in this recipe has calcium, fiber and high in antioxidants.

Ingredients

1 piece young coconut scraped into strings

1½ tbsp. cornstarch

1 small can 168ml sweetened condensed milk
1½ cups evaporated or fresh milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract optional

You also Need:

Popsicle Molds or Plastic Cups + Popsicle Sticks

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine cornstarch, coconut water and stir until dissolved. Heat the mixture on medium heat until it starts to boil and turn to low and simmer for about 3-5 minutes just until it thickens like syrup. (Adding cornstarch is a method to make the ice becomes smooth and soft).
Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and stir until fully dissolves. Let it cool down a little bit before adding the remaining ingredients. Add in sweetened condensed milk, fresh milk and vanilla extract if desired. Stir thoroughly until well blended and add coconut strings and mix well. Taste test your mixture and add sugar if needed.
Use a ladle or measuring cup and fill each popsicle cavity with your Buko mixture at least 1/3 cup each. If you don’t have a popsicle mold you can use plastic or paper cups. Arrange ice buko in a tray and freeze until frozen. But if you’re using a metal cups like me, wait until your ice buko is partially set, before inserting a popsicle stick in the center. Freeze until frozen, serve and enjoy anytime!
