Traditional Potong Ice Cream Recipe
By Justina Lee
Kids today are spoilt for choices; ice cream comes in every imaginable flavour and is enjoyed any time of the day. During my childhood years in Malaysia, ice cream was an occasional treat or as a reward for good behaviour.
Every alternate evening, at around six, kids in my estate waited excitedly for the
ice cream man on his bicycle to come by with mouth-
At the ring of his bell, the kids would dash out of their houses, gather around the ice cream man and wait patiently while he cuts up the block of ice cream.
There wasn't really much to choose from, about four flavours but they were delicious! My personal favourite? Red beans with coconut milk. Up till today, it still remains as one of the most popular traditional flavour.
If you can't get hold of commercially prepared “potong” ice cream or prefer to make your own, why not recapture those childhood moments with this recipe which promises the same old taste of yesteryears?
Red Bean & Coconut Milk Flavoured Potong Ice Cream Recipe
(makes 10):
Ingredients:
200g red beans
150 plus 120g sugar
1½ tablespoons cornflour
3 tablespoons water
125ml fresh milk
180ml coconut milk
1½ tablespoons condensed milk
How to make homemade potong ice cream sticks
1. Rinse red beans and place in a saucepan. Add enough water so that the beans are covered and cook until red beans soften.
2. Add 150 grams sugar and stir to dissolve. Turn off heat and set aside for later use in the recipe.
3. In another saucepan, blend cornflour with 3 tablespoons of water and cook until the mixture thickens.
4. Remove from heat, add remaining sugar and stir. Return saucepan to heat.
5. Add fresh milk, coconut milk and condensed milk. Increase the heat and cook until the mixture thickens. If the mixture becomes a little starchy and hard, just lift the saucepan off the heat. Be very careful not to overcook.
6. Stir in red beans and mix well.
7. Pour ice cream mixture into ice cream moulds.
8. Place in a freezer until ice cream set and hardens. Enjoy!
