What to Make: Creamy Blueberry & Lemon Ice Pops

Creamy Blueberry & Lemon Ice Pops

How I love finding these stashed away in the freezer. They are the ideal treat on a hot day – in summer, I have to make them on high rotation to keep the family happy. Play around with other flavour combinations by experimenting with different berries.

Makes 6

Ingredients

For the blueberry layer
280g coconut yoghurt, or other non-dairy yoghurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp rice malt syrup
75g fresh or frozen blueberries

For the lemon layer
560g coconut yoghurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp rice malt syrup
1 tsp natural vanilla extract

Method
Place the ingredients for the blueberry layer in a high-speed blender and whiz until smooth. Pour the mixture into six ice lolly moulds, then freeze for 2-3 hours, until firm.

Clean out the blender, add all the lemon layer ingredients and whiz until smooth. Pour the mixture into the moulds, over the blueberry layer. Freeze for 3-4 hours, or until set.

The ice pops will keep in the freezer for 2-4 weeks.

When ready to serve, run the ice block moulds under hot water and they will slide out easily. Enjoy immediately.
