Two-tone strawberry and rose ice lollies
Makes 8 Desserts and puddings
Ingredients
- 250g strawberries, hulled
- 500g Greek yoghurt
- 100g caster sugar
- 1/2tsp rose-water
- juice 1 lemon
- 1/2tsp vanilla bean paste
Method
Set aside 4 of the prettiest strawberries. Put the remaining berries in a blender with 250g of the yoghurt, 60g of the sugar, the rose-water and the lemon juice and whizz until completely smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the remaining yoghurt and sugar and the vanilla paste. Although not strictly necessary, it's a good idea to whizz this in the blender, too, to achieve a consistency that is easier to pour into the lolly moulds.
Put both mixture into jugs with sprouts. Slice your reserved strawberries into 2mm slices with the tip of your knife.
Pour around a 2cm layer of the pink mixture into the bottom of each lolly mould and leave to set for 15 minutes in the freezer.
Divide the white mixture between the moulds on top of the set pink layer. Slide a berry slice down either side of each mould and add the sticks down the middle. Freeze for 15 minutes more, then top up with the remaining pink mixture. Freeze the lollies for 2-3 hours, or until they are fully set.
