These creamy, rich popsicles are a delightful frozen treat made with condensed milk and powdered milk, creating a smooth and indulgent texture. Perfect for hot summer days, they offer a nostalgic, homemade flavor reminiscent of traditional milk-based ice creams.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered milk
- ⅓ cup condensed milk
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Popsicle molds and sticks
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Milk Base
- Heat the milk: In a saucepan, bring the whole milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mix powdered milk and condensed milk: In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered milk and condensed milk until smooth.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
- Add the milk mixture: Slowly pour the warm milk into the condensed milk mixture, stirring continuously to ensure a smooth blend.
- Enhance the flavor: Stir in vanilla extract and cardamom powder (if using).
Step 3: Cool and Pour
- Let the mixture cool: Allow the milk mixture to cool to room temperature before pouring into popsicle molds.
- Fill the molds: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top. Insert popsicle sticks.
Step 4: Freeze
- Freeze for at least 8 hours: Place the molds in the freezer and let them set overnight for the best texture.
- Demold: Run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to release the popsicles easily.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Enjoy immediately: These popsicles melt quickly, so serve them fresh from the freezer.
- Customize: Sprinkle extra powdered milk or drizzle with chocolate for added indulgence.
