Ice Candy

When summer comes I remember those childhood days that I would hurriedly collect coins from my parents cabinet to buy my favorite thirst quenching summer snack: Ice-candy.  Whatever is the flavor, there will always be a magic in store in everybite of it.  A truly refreshing means to beat the heat of the summer! We did had a refrigerator at home so most of the time we are just buying it from the neighbor. So when the day comes, my uncle sold us their old refrigerator, it was ice-candy everyday. Making this is fun and easy.  You can make your kids help you in preparing this.  You can use your fruit drinks or be creative in using other flavors.   The following recipes calls for simple fruit drink based ice-candies to more elaborate flavors.

And you, what is the flavor of your favorite ice-candy?

    For creamy, use carnation milk that you have already heated on the stove to add to the other ingredients

  12. luisa January 17, 2011 at 2:44 pm Reply

    You put “yabu” on it. It’s a starchy white powder mixed in a boiling water. This boiled water with yabu is then cooled until you can put your desired ingredients. This will make your candy creamy like an iced cream.

    Add cassava flour “yabo” to make your ice candy smooth and creamy like an ice cream..

  25. Carrenjane April 21, 2012 at 9:20 am Reply

    In my experience, i boiled water with pre-dissolved cornstarch until slightly viscuous then templahin sa sugar, gata, and milk , and vanilla extract, as desired. Ihalo yung gustong flavor(powder form-predissolved with water) kng medyo mainit pa para mabilis mahomogenize. Idagdag ang fruits or nuts na gusto nyo at i-pack using an elastic ice-candy wrappers. Siguradong you would have an icecream-like texture at malinamnam na produkto afterwards. Enjoy :)

    Thanks much in advance.

  32. Hilda July 30, 2012 at 3:21 pm Reply

    @Rowie I’ve seen some yabu or cassava cornstarch on supermarkets like Cash and Carry. If not, you can probably find them on some vegetarian stores because I think vegetarians use them for cooking filipino dishes that requires the texture of pork fat. Goodluck.

    I WANT TO ENGAGE IN SELLING A CREAMY ICE CANDY. CAN YOU GIVE ME THE COMPLETE STEPS AND AMOUNT PER INGREDIENT. THANK YOU!

    • Hilda August 9, 2012 at 6:22 pm Reply

      engaging in any business requires a thorough understanding of the market and the demand. It is hard to give an exact amount of the ingredients for making ice candy as prices tend to vary. I suggest to make flavors based on the fruits in season, that way there are much cheaper. Try first to make experiments in your kitchen; prepare small batches of ice candy that your friends and family can taste. Use the recipe posted here as a base but you can modify it depending on your own ingredients of your choice. goodluck!
