Make your Own Ice Lollies!

Ice lollies are easy to make and children and grandchildren will love helping out. They’re also healthier and cheaper than shop-bought versions...

Strawberry Milk Lollies

Strawberry Milk Lollies

Ingredients:

  • 400g ripe strawberries
  • 200ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 405g light condensed milk

Method:

  1. 1. Hull the strawberries and whizz them in a food processor until smooth. Mix in the milk and condensed milk.
  2. 2. Pour the mixture into 12 ice-lolly moulds and attach the tops. Freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or until solid. Warm the moulds with your hands or under warm water to release the lollies. 

 

Melon Ice Lollies

Melon Ice Lollies

Ingredients:

  • 500g watermelon flesh, cut into chunks – no need to de-seed it
  • 300g honeydew melon flesh (de-seeded), cut into chunks
  • Juice of one lime
  • 100 ml pressed apple juice

Method:

  1. 1. Put the watermelon in a blender and whizz until smooth. Strain into a jug, then pour into 8 lolly moulds about a third of the way up. Freeze for about 1 hour or until almost frozen solid.
  2. 2. Rinse out the blender and add the honeydew melon with the lime juice and apple juice and whizz to a purée.
  3. 3. Push the mixture through a sieve and pour into the lolly moulds, inserting a stick in the middle, and freeze until solid. Pour in the remaining watermelon juice to fill the moulds and then freeze.
