I had kind of forgotten just how easy it is to throw together delicious and fruity ice lollies, but I’m so glad I gave it a go. Here are my delicious recipes for how to make your own ice lolly, just perfect for a hot and sunny day.

I’ve so far made two different types of lollies this week, and both were delicious.  They were made straight from the contents of the fridge in a matter of minutes.  At a guess they take around 5 hours to freeze but this depends very much on your freezer, I find it helpful to make them in the morning and then they are ready for dinner time.  Of course lollies will always be a treat but I have diluted the juice and squash so it’s suitable for a toddler or a little taste for a baby if you’re feeling generous.  These lolly mould were from Tesco, but for a thrifty alternative you could make up your mix in an old yogurt pot and simply add in a lolly stick before sitting it in the freezer.

Tutti Fruity Lolly Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Half fill the lolly mold with the diluted orange juice
2. Add a few blueberries to the bottom
3. Place half a banana into the mold

5. Top up the rest of the mold with orange juice
