Perfect Summer Treat – Frozen Stripy Lollies
Summer is in full swing and this is a perfect treat to cool you down on a hot summers day. It is a summer time favourite with my girls. They enjoy helping me make them, but they enjoy eating them ever more.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mango or orange juice
- 1/2 cup frozen berries
- 1/2 cup red fruit juice such as raspberry
- 1 1/2 cups of different fruit juices of your choice
- These measurements are approximate and depend on the size of your lolly moulds.
Equipment:
- Lolly moulds OR perspex picnic cups
- 4 lolly sticks OR sturdy plastic spoons
- Space in freezer for cups on a tray
- Bowl deep enough for lolly moulds to be almost immersed
Method:
Put enough mango or orange juice in the bottom of your lolly mould to allow your spoon or stick to be well covered when inserted.
Put the moulds without the sticks or spoons into the freezer.
Leave for about an hour and then insert the spoon which should now stand upright. If it doesn’t, freeze for a little longer, but not too long otherwise you won’t be able to push it in as it will be too frozen.
Add the frozen berries around the stick or spoon pour the red juice to cover. Freeze.
Leave for an hour and then add another layer of juice.
Continue with contrasting layers of juice followed by freezing until the mould is full or you feel it’s a big enough ice lolly.
To release your lolly pour warm tap water into a bowl and carefully dip the moulds in one at a time until the lolly becomes loose from the mould. Gently pull the ice lolly away being careful not to break the stick or spoon and enjoy!
