Ice Lollies

 

Here are three ice lollies created by Ella Woodward from her book Deliciously Ella.  They can be made in minutes and will store quite happily for weeks in your freezer. The best thing is that they are full of vitamins and minerals, unlike the majority of shop bought lollies and  children can have great fun making them too!

 

Ice Lollies (pick your flavour!)

Ingredients

Chocolate Ice Lollies

2 Medjool dates

2 ripe bananas

1 heaped tsp of raw cacao powder

2tblsp coconut milk

 

Strawberry Ice Lollies

2 Medjool dates

1 ripe banana

1 mug strawberries (200g)

2 tblsp coconut milk

 

Banana Cinnamon Ice Lollies

2 Medjool dates

2 ripe bananas

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tblsp coconut milk

 

Method

Simply remove the stones from the dates and peel the bananas. Then place the ingredients for your chosen flavour into a blender with 2 tablespoons of water and blend for a minute until smooth.

Pour into an ice lolly mould and freeze, doing the same for each flavour.

To make mixed ones, simply pour half of one flavour into a mould, allow it to freeze for an hour and then top the mould up with the second flavour.

The lollies need to freeze for about 5 hours before they are ready to be enjoyed!
