Ingredients

  • 250 g heavy cream
  • 250 g whole milk
  • 50 g milk powder
  • 50 g sugar
  • 15 g cornstarch

Instructions

Mix the base:

  • In a non-stick saucepan, add 50g milk powder, 15g cornstarch, and 50g sugar.
  • Pour in 250g heavy cream and 250g whole milk.
  • Whisk thoroughly with a hand whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free.

Cook the mixture:

  • Turn the heat to low.
  • Stir continuously with a silicone spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides to prevent burning.
  • Heat until the mixture thickens and small bubbles begin to form around the edges. Turn off the heat immediately.

Strain and cool:

  • Pour the hot mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps or milk skin.
  • Let it cool to room temperature. (Tip: You can place the bowl over ice water to speed this up and reduce bacterial growth.)

Fill and freeze:

  • Pour the cooled mixture into silicone popsicle molds.
  • Tap gently to remove air bubbles and insert sticks.
  • Cover the molds and freeze at -18°C (0°F)for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Unmold and enjoy:

  • If using silicone molds, simply peel them off.
  • For other molds, dip the bottom in warm water for 5 seconds or warm the edges with a hairdryer.
  • Pull the stick gently to release.
