VEGETABLE ICED CANDY
Living in the tropics confronts one to find something that would cool one’s tongue down. But the mom in me would want this cooler nutritious yet yummy. So I concocted something that would fit in this category.
Iced candy I think is one of the long time-all time favorite of Filipino youngsters, which is why you can find one in virtually all sari-sari (variety) stores in the Philippines selling iced candy.
As you can see, these are just ordinary vegetables you can pull out just here and there. Potatoes, carrots and squash. Peel them, chopped them into small pieces and boil them in just a little water enough to cover them.
When it’s cooked, let it cool down until room temperature. Then start blending with these add-ons. I used nestle cream, with a little of evaporated milk and a can of condensed milk. Just adjust the sweetness depending on your family’s tongue desire.
Use a funnel to pour the blended liquid inside the cellophane, freeze and enjoy!
