Chocolate Ice Candy Recipe
Few recipes are as easy to make or as reminiscent of our childhoods as ice candy. This sweet, cold piece of heaven made with various kinds of juices, flavorings or sweeteners was once readily available in every sari-sari store, in flavors ranging from ube to sweet corn to mango. But none was quite as popular as chocolate ice candy. For some who have tried to make this at home, it can be as simple as freezing a batch of Milo—but this recipe makes use of cocoa powder and sweetened condensed milk, with flour to thicken the mixture slightly. This more sophisticated recipe will require a bit more patience because you’ll be boiling it up, but you will be rewarded with a richer taste and texture that will satisfy both adults and children. Feeling nostalgic? The cocoa can readily be substituted with Milo or Ovaltine, for that taste of the past.
