About Jelly Custard Popsicles

Jelly Custard Popsicles is a unique twist from regular ice creams or plain popsicles. It is creamy, and has a nice mix of texture. The base is vanilla custard which gives a rich taste, while the jelly cubes add light chewiness and color in every bite. Kids loves watching the colors swirl inside and its so fun to eat.

This recipe is very flexible, you can use any flavor of jelly you like - rose, strawberry or pineapple all taste great. It is a great way to use leftover jelly too. The best part is it does not need any fancy ingredients or equipment. Just mix, freeze and enjoy. I add it with small fruit pieces too, which makes it more tastier.

You can also make them ahead and keep in freezer for small parties or family get-together. They stay fresh and tasty for many days. Also kids enjoys picking their favorite jelly colors and helping to pour the mixture into molds too. It's a simple way to involve kids in cooking without much mess.

I often make this when I want something cold and quick without any heavy effort. The look itself is so pretty with those bright jelly cubes peeping through the creamy custard. Even adults can't resist having more than one in a go.

Jelly Custard Popsicles Ingredients

• Milk - I add full cream milk for rich taste and creamy texture. You can also use toned milks.
• Custard Powder - I used this as main thickener and gives that soft creamy texture. I like vanilla flavor, but you can try mango or butterscotch also.
• Sugar - This add sweetness and it balances the mild taste of custard. You can add more or less on it how you want.
• Jelly - I just added rose jelly cubes, it gives a pretty color and fruity taste. You can use any flavor like strawberry or orange or even mix few.
• Cardamom Powder - Optional, but it gives mild aroma that goes well with custard flavor. I add only little sometimes.
• Water - Needed for making jelly. You can follow as per jelly packet instruction.

How to make Jelly Custard Popsicles Step by Step

1.Boil milk(reserve a tablespoon of milk) for 5 minutes until its bubbles up nicely. Simmer and then add sugar. Mix well.

2.To a tablespoon of milk add custard powder, mix well to form a runny paste without any lumps. Add this to simmering milk.

3.Keep cooking ,slowly it will get thick.

4.Cook in low flame and keep mixing so that there are no lumps. At one stage the custard will nicely form a thick coating, it will coat the ladle like this, it should be thick as shown below. At this stage, switch off and cool down completely.

5.Now take your jelly cubes and add it to the custard mixture. Mix gently.

6.Spoon the mixture into your favorite popsicle mold till ¾th.

7.Close with lids and freeze at least for 6-8 hours. I freeze it over night. Then carefully show the bottom part in running tap water, set aside undisturbed for at least 2-3 minutes then slowly pull out the lid.

Serve immediately.

Expert Tips

• Custard - I usually cook it till slightly thick but still pourable. Once it cools down, it becomes thicker, so don't overcook.
• Mixing jelly - Always cool the custard completely before adding jelly cubes, else jelly will start melting. I made that mistake once.
• Sweetness - I always taste the custard before freezing because after freezing sweetness reduces little bit. You can add little more sugar if needed.
• Unmolding - When removing, I dip the bottom part of mold in water for few seconds and wait before pulling out. It comes out clean and neat.
• Flavor idea - You can try different jelly flavors for colorful look. Mango with rose or pineapple with orange works really good.

Serving and Storage

Serve Jelly Custard Popsicles chilled straight from freezer. You can sprinkle few chopped nuts on top while serving to make it look rich. It tastes best when eaten soon after unmolding as it melts slightly fast. If making ahead, keep it covered tightly and freeze up to 2 days.

FAQS

4.Which jelly flavor suits best?

I feel rose, strawberry and pineapple are my top picks. You can try any based on what you like.

Minimum 6 to 8 hours needed to get firm popsicles. I usually freeze overnight for best result.
