Lollies On Ice Recipes

Steps:

• For a really clever, time-saving cheat, just buy the best lollies you can, then it's all in the presentation - thick clear glass and ice looks great together
• Put the ice cubes in a large plastic bag, cover with a tea towel, and bash with a hammer until roughly crushed. Return to the freezer. Once ready to serve, pile the crushed ice into a deep, narrow glass bowl or ice bucket and push in the lollies, stick upwards.

Steps:

• Blitz the mango with ½ banana and 100g yogurt in a blender until smooth. Divide between six ice lolly moulds and insert a stick into each. Hold each stick upright in the mould, and secure on both sides with tape. Freeze for 1 hr until set.
• Repeat with another ½ banana, 100g more yogurt and the kiwi fruit, and pour that over the banana layer. Freeze for another 1 hr until set. Repeat with the raspberries, then the blackberries, freezing each layer before topping with the next. Cover and freeze the lollies overnight. Run under warm water to remove from the moulds. Will keep in the freezer for up to two months.

Steps:

• Tip the strawberries into a blender, food processor or smoothie-maker and blitz to a purée. Add the yogurt and blitz again to combine. Taste for sweetness and add as much sugar or honey as needed - this will depend on the ripeness of the fruit as well as your personal taste.
• Divide the mixture evenly between the holes of a six-hole ice lolly mould - they should be filled to the brim. Insert the lolly sticks and freeze for 4 hrs or until solid. Will keep frozen for up to a month.
