Special Buko Ice CandyIngredients:

Ingredients:

1 piece young coconut, scraped into strings
2 cups coconut water (buko juice)
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1½ cups evaporated or fresh milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)

Materials you need:

A Ladle and a Funnel.
Ice Candy Wrapper (I use “Texas” a narrow plastic bag)

Special Buko Ice CandyInstructions:

In a saucepan, combine cornstarch into coconut water and stir until dissolved.
Heat the mixture on medium heat until it starts to boil and turn to low and simmer for about 3-5 minutes just until it thickens like syrup. (Adding cornstarch is a method to make the ice becomes smooth and soft).

Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and stir until fully dissolves.
Let it cool down a little bit before adding the remaining ingredients.
Add in sweetened condensed milk, fresh milk and vanilla extract if desired.
Stir thoroughly until well blended and add coconut strings and mix well.
Test the taste of your mixture and add sugar if needed.
Use a funnel and ladle and pour the mixture into each Ice candy wrapper about 5 inches high.
If you don’t have a funnel you can use a pitcher. T
Tie the top tightly and trim the plastic if desired.
Arrange Ice Candy in the freezer and freeze until frozen.
ServeSpecial Buko Ice Candy anytime and enjoy!

This Special Buko Ice Candy Recipe has a creamy taste, with a smooth and almost savory flavor.

You can buy this in small sarisari store in the Philippines. Very affordable but taste good and you can make this in different flavors, that’s why children love this.

It’s been over 30 years since I’ve been to the Philipines, but this recipe seems to “pick” at a memory of a flavor of something that I ate there (not knowing what it was, but enjoying it nonetheless.!)
