Easy Tang Ice Cream (Frozen Ice Pops)
A super simple, budget-friendly frozen dessert made with Tang and a few basic ingredients—perfect for hot days!
Ingredients
- 1 packet Tang (flavors like passion fruit or strawberry)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (395g)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or milk for lighter version)
- 1 cup water (optional, for thinner texture)
Instructions
- In a blender, add condensed milk, heavy cream, and Tang powder.
- Blend until smooth and fully combined.
- Taste and adjust: add a bit of water if you want a lighter consistency.
- Pour mixture into plastic ice pop bags or small molds.
- Tie/seal tightly.

Description
These ice pops are creamy, fruity, and slightly tangy. The condensed milk gives a rich texture, while Tang provides vibrant flavor and color—just like the pink and yellow pops in your image.
Tips
- Use different Tang flavors to create colorful batches.
- For creamier pops, use full heavy cream instead of milk.
- Layer flavors for a striped effect (freeze halfway, then add another flavor).
- If you don’t have pop bags, use small cups and sticks.
Servings
