Sago Vermicelli Popsicle is a creamy frozen treat made with sago, vermicelli, milk, sugar and cardamom powder. It has rich milky taste with soft bite of cooked sago and vermicelli in every mouth. The texture is creamy with slight chewiness which makes it different from regular popsicles. It looks simple but tastes really good and feel very satisfying on a hot day.
Now add vermicelli and cook until soft. Not too mushy it should not stick to each other but cooked.
Drain water and set aside. Boil milk.
Add cane sugar and mix well. Now add cooked sago and vermicelli.
Let it boil for a good 7 to 10 mins.
Add cardamom powder. Let milk to reduce and the mixture turns slightly thick and creamy. Switch off and cool down completely.
Transfer the mixture to a jar so that its easy to pour. Fill the popsicle mold till little below the rim. Close with lid, insert ice cream sticks.
Freeze for 8 hours or overnight. I usually freeze overnight. Show the mould under running tap water. Or you can dip the mold in warm water for demolding.
Demold and serve Sago Vermicelli Popsicle immediately.
Notes
Cooking – I usually cook sago and vermicelli until just soft. Overcook can make mixture too mushy.
Cooling – I always cool mixture completely before pour into mould. This help popsicle freeze better.
Thickness – I let milk reduce slightly while simmer. This give creamier texture after freeze.
Sweetness – You can adjust sugar as per taste. Taste mixture before freeze and adjust if need.
Freezing – I prefer freeze overnight for best result. Popsicle become firm and easy to unmould.
Demoulding – I usually show mould under running water for few second. This help release popsicle easily.
