Today you will learn how to make a delicious gourmet Prestígio popsicle (Brazilian-style ice pop). This recipe is a huge hit, combining the creaminess of coconut with a crunchy chocolate shell. Ready to try this treat? Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 quart (approx. 1 liter) whole milk
- 1 carton (7 oz) heavy cream (creme de leite equivalent)
- 1 can (7 oz) coconut milk
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon ice cream stabilizer (or skim milk powder as a substitute for texture)
- 7 oz semi-sweet chocolate (bar or candy melts)
How to make gourmet Prestígio ice pops:
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each cycle until completely smooth.
- While the chocolate cools slightly, prepare the base. In a blender, combine the whole milk, condensed milk, heavy cream, coconut milk, shredded coconut, and stabilizer. Blend until smooth.
- Check for foam on the surface; if necessary, gently skim it off with a spoon.
- Prepare the popsicle bags. Turn them inside out, pour a little chocolate into each, and spread it to coat the inside. Turn them back right-side out and wipe any excess chocolate from the rim.
- Fill the bags with the coconut mixture, leaving about 2 inches of space at the top to tie them. Do this while the chocolate is still soft so it coats the inside of the bag.
- Carefully tie the bags with a firm knot.
- Place the ice pops in the freezer until the chocolate has hardened and the center is frozen solid.
Pro Tip:
Always use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and professional results.
