Another quick fix for a tropical delight – yum yum. :D Below is my ‘on the go’ concoction:
Ingredients (to make 4 popsicles)
- Jackfruit flesh – 250 g (for puree)
- Jackfruit flesh from 3 seeds – cut into short strips
- Coconut milk – 50 ml
- Organic honey – 1 to 2 tbsp
- Evaporated milk – for thinning the puree if necessary
Method
1) Blend the 250 g jackfruit flesh, coconut milk and 1 tbsp of honey together until smooth.
2) Do a taste test to check for sweetness. Add more honey if desired. (Generally, if the sweetness is just nice, do make it sweeter as it won’t taste as sweet when frozen.)
3) If the puree cannot pour easily, just add some evaporated milk to thin the mixture.
4) Divide the jackfruit strips equally into popsicle moulds and pour the jackfruit puree into them. Use a chopstick to stir the mixture to remove air bubbles and distribute the jackfruit strips evenly.
5) Place popsicle sticks into the moulds and freeze for at least 8 hours before serving. Enjoy :D
Verdict: Jackfruit and honey go well together. The taste is yummingly rich. Hee hee :P
I’m so going to try this! Bought the moulds long ago but never get to use, sitting there collecting dust, time to dust it! Is the texture very icy?
Hi Wendi,
Try it! The presence of coconut milk and low water content of the jackfruit flesh make the popsicle more creamy than ‘icy’ :P
Just recently, I tried a mango-orange combi without adding milk or sugar and it tasted great too – it was towards the icy texture but good! For the mango, I blended the flesh until smooth. For the orange, I extracted the juice out using a simple orange squeezer as I don’t have a juicer – it was quick and easy anyway. Then mix the mango and orange together by stirring and pour into moulds to freeze.
Just curious where you got the moulds? The design with the little stick-out straw seems to help create less mess as the popsicle melts. I am reading your blog from Hong Kong, and since I will visit Singapore next month, I’d like to buy them for my kids =)
Hi Victoria,
You would most likely get to purchase these popsicle moulds at our local shopping mall called Plaza Singapura (nearest MRT station is Dhoby Ghaut). There are 2 stores in Plaza Singapura that carry this type of moulds with a straw attached. One of them is Spotlight – that’s where I got mine. The other is Daiso. Spotlight’s version is bigger but much more expensive as compared to Daiso. Daiso is a $2 shop and everything is priced at two bucks. If I’ve seen the one at Daiso first, I’d have gone for it :) You could get a glimpse of the Daiso’s popsicle moulds at this website: http://singaporesupermarketrecipes.com/kids-summer-popsicle-recipes-kids-love-using-daiso-popsicle-mold/
Happy shopping! :D
Just to add on, both stores are located on the 5th floor of Plaza Singapura :)
I’ll make sure I bring your directions with me during my trip! Thank you Ling =)
Hi Victoria,
You’re welcomed :D Hope that you’d have a pleasant time looking for the popsicle moulds :)
BTW, do you know if there is any second-hand baby clothes store in Singapore?
Hi Victoria,
As far as I know, I’m not aware of the existence of 2nd-hand baby clothes over here.
I see.
