Avocado Ice Candy

I remember when I was a kid the first thing in mind if I got some money (cents) I got to buy an ice candy. Ice candy in the Philippines is most common "snack" specially if it is too hot. The flavor on making ice candy varies from what fruit is in season. You can also make an orange ice candy from orange juice. The other day I had three almost over ripe avocados  or guacamole. So I decided to make an ice candy. I get my ice candy wrapper (I bought in the Philippines), get the avocado meat and put in the blender, mix some sugar and water then I blend it. I then one by one open the ice cream wrapper and with the help of a funnel fill the wrapper with the avocado mixture. I fill half of the ice candy wrapper and the other half twis it and tie. This is how it looks. I put it in the freezer and when it is hard it is ready to eat!

Ice Candy

Now what is an ice candy? Well back in the Philippines ice candy is made by fruits like avocado/guacamole, mangoes, that are sweet and ripe and  young coconut. Aside from fruits many make ice candy from any juices most specially pineapple and orange juice. After all this main ingredients you mix it with water and sugar. For commercial purposes they put a lot of water and sugar and a little of the main ingredients. But for me, since it's only me and hubby is going to eat I make pure avocado, with evaporated milk, a little water and sugar. I blend it well and then little by little I put it in a small plastic container. Ice candy is what young and old like to eat most specially if it is hot. It refreshes you and it's also affordable. Anyhow here is my ice candy...

The ice candy wrapper I bought this in the Philippines that last time I was there. Hubby love it and it makes me make more hehe.
