Ingredients

🥚 6 egg yolks
🥛 3 cups of whole milk
🥫 1 can of evaporated milk
🥫 1 can of condensed milk
🌿 2 cinnamon sticks
🍦 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
🌰 1⁄4 teaspoon of nutmeg
🧂 1⁄4 teaspoon of baking soda
🟡 Yellow food colorant (optional)

Instructions

1- Mix the Milks:

• In a non-stick pot, combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. Stir just until well combined.

2- Add Spices:

• Introduce the cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, and baking soda into the milk mixture. Place the pot on low heat and stir constantly to prevent sticking.

3- Prepare the Egg Yolks:

• While the milk warms, whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl until they become foamy and pale.

4- Incorporate Yolks:

• Pour the vanilla extract into the warmed milk, then slowly add the whisked yolks while continuously whisking to prevent curdling.

5- Add Color:

• If desired, add the yellow food colorant for a vibrant hue.

6- Cook:

• Return the mixture to low heat. Stir slowly and consistently until the mixture rises and is just about to boil. This is your cue to remove it from the heat.

7- Cool the Mixture:

• Strain the mixture into a pitcher and allow it to cool. To expedite the cooling process, place the pitcher in a larger bowl filled with ice and whisk gently until cooled.

8- Prepare Bolis Bags:

• Fill bolis bags a little over halfway with the cooled mixture. Tie them securely or use a bag sealer to close them, ensuring the seal is made on a dry part with low heat.

9- Freeze:

• Place the filled bags in the freezer for at least 5 hours, or ideally, overnight.
