Directions
1. Making the Iced Pop Batter — Make a cornstarch slurry with water, mix well and set aside. In a medium pot, heat the coconut cream to a gentle simmer with condensed milk, salt, and Suncore Foods® Emerald Pandan Leaf Powder, and add the cornstarch slurry. Cook until thickened. Divide the batter into three equal portions and pour them into heat-proof containers Set aside the white batter, then add the Suncore Foods® Powder. Mix well the batter, and cover the batter surface with plastic wrap to prevent it from forming skin. Refrigerate for a few hours until the batter is thickened ( minimum 4 hours), can be made a day ahead.
2. When the batter is ready to mold, fold the red beans into the white batter, and reserve some for sprinkling later.
3. In a baking sheet, place the molds and add the batter into the mold. Have fun with the design, and sprinkle more red beans to garnish the iced pop.
4. Tap the baking sheets to release trapped air and level the batter, then freeze them for a few hours.
5. Release the ice pops from the molds and they are ready to be served. Enjoy!
