Popularly known as “Ice Candy,” this Filipino-style frozen dessert combines a ultra-creamy milk base with real, shredded mango strings. It is sweet, refreshing, and incredibly fun to make with the family. Here is the complete step-by-step recipe to recreate this viral hit at home!

🛒 Ingredients

To get that exact textured look and rich flavor shown in image_2321ff.jpg, you will need:

• 3 to 4 Large Ripe Mangoes (Sweet and juicy)
• 1 can (14 oz) of Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1 can (12 oz) of Evaporated Milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
• 4 cups of Whole Milk or Water
• 1/2 cup of White Sugar (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons of Cornstarch (dissolved in 1/2 cup of water—this keeps the ice candy soft and smooth rather than rock-hard)
• Ice candy plastic bags and a small funnel

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare the perfect batch:

1. Shred the Mangoes: Wash and peel the ripe mangoes. To get the gorgeous strands seen in image_2321ff.jpg, use a shredder tool or a fork to scrape the mango flesh into long, thin noodle-like strings. Set them aside in a bowl.
2. Cook the Base: In a large pot, combine the whole milk, evaporated milk, and sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Pour in the dissolved cornstarch mixture and stir constantly for 3 to 5 minutes until the liquid thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
3. Combine the Mix: Once the milk base is cool, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and fold in those beautiful shredded mango strings from image_2321ff.jpg. Mix gently so the strands remain intact.
4. Bag It Up: Place a small funnel into the opening of an ice candy plastic bag. Ladle the creamy mango mixture into the bag, ensuring each one gets a generous amount of mango strands. Leave about 2 inches of space at the top.
5. Tie and Freeze: Twist the top of the bag tightly and tie a secure knot. Repeat until all the mixture is used. Place the bags flat in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely frozen.
