ICE LOLLIES 🇱🇨!!! | Peanut Butter Ice Lollies | Childhood In A Bag | St. Lucian Snack

If you grew up in St. Lucia or anywhere in the Caribbean, chances are you've enjoyed these frozen treats after school! Today I'm making creamy peanut ice lollies—a simple homemade recipe that's full of nostalgia. Every family had their own version, and this is mine. Let me know in the comments: 🥜 What did you call these where you grew up? ❄️ What was your favorite flavor? #PeanutIcelollies #icelollies #stluciansnack #stluciaicelollies #caribbeandessert #retiredwithinno #cookingwithinno St. Lucian Peanut Ice Lollies (Suckers) Ingredients 1 can (397 g) sweetened condensed milk 1 can (385 ml) evaporated milk 2 cups hot water ¾ cup smooth peanut butter (or 1 cup if you want a stronger peanut flavor) Sugar to taste (optional) 1 teaspoon vanilla essence ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon banana essence of flavoring of choice Few drops of Angostura Bitters (optional) Method Blend the peanut butter and nutmeg with the 2 cups of hot water until completely smooth. Add the evaporated milk, condensed milk, essence Blend again until creamy. Taste. It should be slightly sweeter than you think it needs to be because freezing reduces sweetness. Pour into a jug for easy filling. Fill each ½ lb cellophane bag about halfway (or to your preferred size). Twist tightly and tie securely. Freeze overnight until firm. Note: If the mixture tastes... Too thick: Add a little more water or evaporated milk. Too thin: Add another tablespoon or two of peanut butter. Not sweet enough: Add a little more condensed milk. For an even creamier texture: A small secret is to replace some of the water with whole milk or coconut milk... For example: 1 can condensed milk 1 can evaporated milk 1 cup water 1 cup whole milk This produces a smoother, creamier frozen texture.
