Rocket lollies make my DS bounce off the walls...any good recipes for homemade ice-lollies?

[DrippingLizzie]

Rocket lollies, Fruitinis and the like make my DS totally wired and hyper so (without getting all Annabel Karmel) I was wondering whether I should have a crack at making my own fruit lollies. I know they've got to contain a bit of sugar/honey to make them taste nice (not too bothered about that) but I want to avoid any artificial colourings/flavourings. Any recipes gratefully received!

Fresh apple juice is yummy - reminds me of cider lollies, in fact I think most fresh fruit juices will work.

or diluted squash

Plain yogurt with mashed up banana and sweetened with honey. Also works well with most berry fruits

Cut a small slit in the lid of a petite filous and insert lolly stick, bung in freezer et voila a frozen yoghurt on a stick.

CoV - you're a genius

These are great...am defrosting said rocket lollies as we speak. Nasty, nasty mummy

I have one of these
lick and sip and put in any sort of fruit juice (I never added any sugar).

- doh! That's what I need in my bloody lollies

I just get a bag of frozen berries, whizz up, sometimes add a bit of water or lemonade and freeze.

Hey DL - don't defrost the rockets. Just because they send ds doolally doesn't mean that you can't enjoy their sugary, chemical nonsense does it?

Great idea, WW...I'm going to eat 5 rocket lollies right now, get totally wired and tell all the gossiping mums at the school gates to fuck off and die when I collect DS at 3pm.

Make smoothie and freeze. Very nice.

Looking forward to the imminent "Help! I've shamed myself at the school gate thread..." then !!!

Agree CoC. In ffrance they sell little lolly sticks with the fromage frais to do judt that.
Orange juice freezes well too.

Can you freeze Fruit Shoots??????

What did I say?

innocent smoothies make wicked lollies
mix the coconut one with the mango one and add some rum - yum! for grownups...

just use fruit juice - doesn't need sweetening.

We use the Juice fruit then freeze it! good luck

I meant Juicer

Tongue tied, you know what I mean anyway

we use squash, fruitjuces, milkshakes,, yogurt, lemonade mixed in with sqush or juice makes nice fizzy sparkling lollies.

frozen jelly pops are a weird but nice treat.

mytwocentsworth!! that lolly mix sounds divine!!

Can of unsweetened mango slices, dollop of yoghurt, dash of honey. In liquidiser, voila!!

Must second RHW's suggestion cos that exact recipe is an age old favourite at the Wonka Factory.

Yeo Valley do tubes of strawberry yogurt which are great for freezing. Keep their little hands cold too- brrr when they come and warm them up your top.

DD loves ones made from tinned peaches (the ones in water) just pureed and frozen - I don't add anything else.

Stick a spoon in a tub of fromage frais and freeze it. Then you just have to dip it in hot water to slide the pot off.
