I was invited to a graduation party by a Filipina friend and I thought I need to bring foods or drinks as my contribution. Since the party has to be held at a park and that the temperature was supposedly 80 degrees, I thought to bring something that is "frozen, cold or icy". I wanted something unique so I came up with this ice candy. I don't know if it spells "iced candy" or ice candy. Whatever :)
Anyways, I had avocado in the refrigerator so I made it as flavor. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, avocado is a vegetable here in US not a fruit so I doubted it if Americans would try it. But I was sure my kababayans would get crazy about it. I was right :) And not only my kababayans but also Hispanic and some white people. Hubby, who said he won't ever eat avocado with milk, tried it and liked it although at first he didn't know how to eat it. I remember there was an old American lady in the party who asked for more and there was nothing left anymore. She was really sad and I felt sorry for her.
It was a blast!
Are you interested with the recipe?
Here it is:
avocado, diced
1 can Nestle cream (big)
1 can condensed milk (big)
1 can evaporated milk (big)
6 cups water
white sugar
ice candy wrapper
funnel
Procedure:
Put the water in a big bowl
Pour in the carnation evap. Mix well.
Next, pour in the condensed milk
Then the avocado
Next, the Nestle cream
Put sugar to taste until you reach the desired sweetness
Make sure to mix all the ingredients very well to get the "ice creamish" texture.
Pour 2 inches or more in the ice candy wrapper using the funnel.
Freeze.
After 3 hours, you'll have the most creamy ice candy you have ever had :)
Sell or serve!
Note: Try other flavors like buko, mango, chocolate, halo-halo ingredients, boiled monggo ( red or green), cream style corn, fruit salad ingredients, jackfruit or langka, etc.

Wow.. looks so yummy! I should try to make one for my niece. She loves ice creams or say ice candy :P
ReplyDeleteAVOCADO!!! I love avocado, although I can't eat a lot, it has an "umay" factor - not to mention the cream & milk.
ReplyDeleteBTW, aren't you in Nevada? Just curious, where did you get the ice candy bags? Or did you bring it from Pinas? (I now remember my friend who even brought Vicks with her).
Sorry about the long comment, I'm still super hyper! :)
Thanks for the blog and I like that very much and I want to share a link of online car retailer where you can not only get the latest information on cars but also can buy and sell the the used cars. so do visit the link
ReplyDeleteHow many avocados did you use? and since you're in the U.S what is the corresponding size (ml or grms) of the cream and evap and condensed milk? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Boom, thanks for leaving a question, I hope you'd come back to get my reply :)
DeleteAnyway, the more avocado you put, the more the ice candy tastes good. I used 2 avocados only because they are very very expensive here. The average size of avocados here in US is very small. Re: the size of the condensed milk, etc. Just the same size we have in the Philippines.
Make sure that everything is mixed throughly and that sugar is completely dissolved before you put them in the wrapper.
hi can i ask for some unique recipe of ice candy ^^
