Filipino Mango Ice Candy

Mango ice candy is a popular dessert in the Philippines. This freeze pop is a deliciously refreshing treat on hot summer days.

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the water to a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-low heat.

2. 2

   Cut the mango into chunks and transfer to a blender, along with the evaporated milk. Blend until smooth.

3. 3

   Add the cornstarch, if using, to the boiling water and stir until dissolved, then add the sugar and condensed milk. Slowly pour in the blended mango mixture. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well-combined. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool completely for about an hour.

4. 4

   Once cooled, pourr the mango mixture into the cellophane bags, filling each about three-quarters of the way. Tie a knot at the top of the bags to seal.

5. 5

   Place the bags in the freezer overnight. Keep frozen until ready to serve.

   Enjoy!
