Strawberry, Raspberry or Pineapple Icepops
Makes 4 Icepops
Ingredients
– 40g Siúcra icing Sugar
– 200g Strawberries OR Raspberries, trimmed & washed OR 200g Pineapple, peeled and chopped into chunks
– 175g Greek Style Natural Yoghurt
– 2 teaspoons Vanilla Bean Paste (only if you are using berries, not for use with pineapple)
Also required: Plastic Cups, Lolly Sticks, Cling film
Method
1. Sieve the Siúcra icing sugar into a large bowl.
2. Blend the strawberries, raspberries OR pineapple in a food processor and then pass through the sieve into the bowl with the icing sugar. This will remove the seeds/pulp.
3. Stir in the Greek style natural yoghurt and the vanilla bean paste and mix well. PLEASE NOTE: If you are using pineapple, do not use vanilla bean paste.
4. Divide evenly between four plastic cups.
5. Cover the cups with cling film. Make a small slit with a sharp knife in the middle of the cling film and then insert the lolly stick.
6. Freeze on a flat surface for a minimum of 4 hours.
7. Remove from the freezer about 15 minutes before you want to eat them. Once they have melted slightly remove the cling film and then remove from the plastic cups.
