Recipe: Strawberry Ice Pops With A Twist

Today I'm going to let you in on one of my secrets.

A recipe so simple that anyone could follow it. An ice pop that creates a flavour explosion in your mouth AND it's healthy.

I started my mission to create the perfect ice lolly recipe when they became something that would soothe Baby Girls teething pain. There were couple of nights when her molars were coming through and no amount of bonjella, anbesol, nurofen or calpol would ease her pain, stop her screaming and get her back to bed. I decided to try something cold to numb the pain and pulled an ice lolly from the back of the freezer. This offered her instant relief so I decided I needed to make my own sugar free, healthy ice treats to heave some healthy ones at hand whenever we need it.

I imagine I will be making these regularly throughout summer and they are actually the perfect summer treat.

I found these fabulous ice lolly mould from Lakeland, which are great. They can either make 8 mini ice lollies or 4 regular sized. They also clip together to make it easy to transport in and out of the freezer and they are easy to separate. I still have left over mixture based on the quantities that I use after I fill them up so I also use some moulds that I brought whilst I was in Australia. They are pretty fab too and I've found some similar ones on Amazon - Norpro Silicone Ice Pop Makers, Set of 4.

The twist in this recipe is the added mint. It gives the ice pops a lovely refreshing tang and keeps them super tasty. I keep my mint chopped and frozen so I can always have it to hand but I'm looking forward to having a little herb patch in my garden in the not too distant future and to having endless fresh supplies of it.


Strawberry Ice Pops With A Twist

Ingredients
  • 300g strawberries 
  • 235 ml coconut water (1 cup)
  • 1 tbs chopped mint

Directions
  1. Cut the stems of the strawberries and then cut them in half
  2. In a jug use a blender to create a puree with the strawberries, if you fancy you can leave some chunks in there to create extra texture
  3. Add coconut water and mint and mix well
  4. Pour liquid into ice lolly moulds and freeze for 4 hours or until completely frozen
  5. Enjoy! 







I would love to hear what your favourite flavour combos are if you make ice treats?
