Red Currant Popsicles

By: Lyndsay // Coco Cake Land
Makes: 10 popsicles

ingredients

For the popsicles

  • 2 cups of red currants
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 300 ml can of evaporated milk
  • ½ cup whole milk

instructions

Make the popsicles

  • Give the currants a gentle wash and remove the stems.
  • In a medium saucepan, add currants, water and sugar. Bring to a low boil on medium heat. Remove from stovetop.
  • Using another medium sized bowl, strain the mixture through a sieve into the bowl to remove seedy bits.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and whole milk to the bowl.
  • Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the ingredients until smooth, pink and creamy.
  • Pour into popsicle molds – I use a liquid measuring cup for this job for ease of pouring!
  • Freeze popsicles for 30 minutes until set up, then add the sticks. This keeps the sticks from shuffling around in popsicle liquid and gives them a straighter appearance.
  • Freeze for 6 hours or overnight until completely firm.
