Servings 6 popsicles

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vermicelli broken into small pieces
  • 3 cups milk
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract or ground cardamom, or rose essence

Instructions

  • In a large frying pan over low heat, roast vermicelli until they get a light golden color. Stir constantly to avoid burning vermicelli.
  • Stir in milk. Increase the heat to high. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes or until vermicelli is cooked.
  • Add sugar. Simmer, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved and mixture has thickened. Stir in vanilla extract. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool.
  • Spoon into 6 ⅓-cup capacity popsicle (iceblock) moulds. Cover with the popsicle lids. Alternatively, cover the moulds with aluminium foil, prick holes on top and insert the popsicle sticks. Freeze for at least 8 hours or until frozen solid.
  • Run the moulds under warm running water to release the popsicles (iceblocks). Serve immediately.
