Homemade Ice Lollies

[2sp_]

I have an ice lolly mould and was trying to think of something other than just ordinary diluting juice to make ice lollies for the kids.

Would yoghurt work OK? Was also thinking of trying fresh fruit juice too.

I used to freeze yoghurts in the tub - it works fine.

Mini milks...

Thanks bhg481, I'll just give it a go.

I do like the look of them, ummmm. Might even let the kids have some too...

Wonder if you could add a jelly, dissolved in a small amount of water in the microwave to that Ummm ?

fruit juice works well, 2sp - mine love mango, peach, raspberry and pineapple, a tad of sugar (fructose) and a bit of gelatine to set. Even can do adult ones with gin and vodka added.

Best not get the adult and kids' lollies mixed up, DTC!

Some great ideas, I'll try them out.

Thanks everyone.

How about using milkshakes (banana, strawberry or chocolate) as in those 1 Litre cartons available from places like Iceland, Asda, etc,. They make delicious milkshake lollies.

Yoghurt's would work really well, as would fresh fruit juice. My Mum made ones with diluted orang squash for myself and my brothers when we were young in the 50's and 60's. Much cheaper than ones you bought in the shops.

You can actually freeze a banana successfully, so I would imagine that purée banana would work. Maybe add alittle sugar and lemon juice to stop it going brown.
