Guava Popsicles
Ingredients:
- 2 cups guava nectar
- 1 cup condensed milk
- Red food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the guava nectar, condensed milk, and red food coloring (if using).
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, filling to the top.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- To serve, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use 2 ripe guavas instead of guava nectar. Simply blend the guavas until smooth, then strain the mixture to remove the seeds.
- If you don't have red food coloring, you can use a few drops of raspberry or strawberry extract to give the popsicles a pink hue.
- For a fun twist, add chopped fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, or mangoes, to the popsicle mixture.
Enjoy!
Here are some additional tips for making the best guava popsicles:
- Use fresh, ripe guavas. Overripe guavas will be too soft and mushy, while underripe guavas will be tart and sour.
- Use a good quality condensed milk. The condensed milk will add richness and sweetness to the popsicles.
- Don't overfill the popsicle molds. This will prevent the popsicles from freezing properly.
- Freeze the popsicles for at least 6 hours, or overnight. This will give them enough time to freeze solid.
- Run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds before serving. This will help loosen the popsicles so that they are easy to remove.
I hope you enjoy these delicious guava popsicles!
