Recipe for Malted Milk Popsicles
Remember "Pepsi Cola"?? If you were a kid in India in the 80s, I'm sure this weird term brought back fond memories
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp custard powder (vanilla or butterscotch)
- 2 tsps sugar
Whisk the custard powder into cold milk and bring to a simmer with sugar and malted beverage.
Once it coats the back of a spoon, and a line drawn on the spoon stays intact, bring to cool in a sink or big bowl of water.
Very lightly oil the insides of the popsicle mould
Pour the mixture into 2 moulds, cover with lids and freeze for 6-8 hours
Remove when frozen and slurp, one for your kid and one for you :)
Variations:
You can also make thick milkshakes using bananas, chikoos, custard apples and fill them in the moulds, with some frozen berries thrown in for colourful healthy frozen treats
