🥄 Creamy Custard Popsicles

✨ Introduction

These creamy custard popsicles are a simple yet elegant frozen dessert that brings together the richness of custard and the refreshing joy of ice cream. With just three ingredients, you can make a summer treat that tastes like a dream. Perfect for hot days, parties, or a quick homemade indulgence, these popsicles melt in your mouth with a velvety texture and gentle sweetness.

📜 History

The origin of custard dates back to the Middle Ages in Europe, where it was first used as a filling for pastries and pies. Over time, custard evolved into a dessert of its own, especially in France and England. Combining this ancient delicacy with the modern concept of popsicles gives us a delightful fusion — the frozen custard pop — a 20th-century twist on a centuries-old classic.

🧁 Ingredients

• 2 cups (500 ml) cold milk 🥛
• 3 tablespoons custard powder (vanilla flavor is best) 🍮
• 4 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk 🍯
• (Optional) A pinch of vanilla essence or sugar to taste ✨

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the custard powder with ½ cup of cold milk until smooth and lump-free.
2. In a saucepan, heat the remaining milk over medium flame.
3. Add the custard mixture to the warm milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
4. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk (and vanilla if desired).
6. Let it cool for a few minutes, then pour the custard into popsicle molds.
7. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.
8. To unmold easily, dip the molds briefly in warm water and pull the popsicles out gently.

🍨 Method (Detailed)

The key to creamy texture is to keep stirring the custard while cooking, ensuring no lumps form. When combining condensed milk, mix it gently to maintain smoothness. For an extra rich flavor, you can add a spoonful of heavy cream or a touch of honey before freezing. These popsicles are best enjoyed right after unmolding, dusted with a bit of powdered sugar or drizzled with condensed milk like in the photo.
