These recipes come from a PR lady working with Eagle Sweetened Condensed Milk, which, no surprise, is an ingredient in both these recipes. I’m such a big fan of DIY-ing and ice cream, however, that I couldn’t help sharing. I’m even considering making ice cream for a July 4th party this weekend!

Pineapple and Chipotle Ice Pops

1 – 20 oz. can crushed pineapple in pineapple juice, undrained

1 – 14 oz. can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk

3/4 cup pineapple juice

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

1. Puree pineapple in food processor. Combine with sweetened condensed milk, pineapple juice, lime juice and chili powder in large bowl and mix well.

2. Spoon

into 8 – 4 oz. plastic ice pop molds or 10 – 3 oz. wax-coated paper cups. If using paper cups, insert a Popsicle stick into the center of each cup. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Makes 8-10 servings. Prep time 15 minutes (plus grocery shopping).
