This yummy strawberry and cream lollies recipe is a great treat to keep the kids happy after a busy day playing in the sun. They are also a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy when the rain clouds come out! No ice cream machine or lolly moulds are required, you can simply use leftover paper party cups or even beakers from around the house.
Ingredients
For the ice cream
- 397mlCondensed milk
- 600mlDouble cream
- 2 tspNielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract
- 200gStrawberries
- 1 tspBillington's Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar
Method
Step 1
Wash, hull and halve the strawberries and place them in a medium saucepan.
Step 2
Heat the strawberries until they begin to soften.
Step 3
Using a masher gently crush the strawberries until they form a soft mush. Add a teaspoon of sugar to sweeten if needed.
Step 4
Pass the strawberries through a sieve to create a strawberry puree and then leave this aside to cool.
Step 5
In a separate bowl beat together the cream, condensed milk and vanilla extract until it has thickened.
Step 6
Remove one third of the mix into a seperate bowl and keep aside, this will be your 'cream' part of the ice cream.
Step 7
Mix the cooled strawberry coulis with the remaining two thirds of the mixture, to make your strawberry ice cream.
Step 8
In your paper cups, fill up to a third with the strawberry ice cream. Place in the freezer to set for 30-40 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the cups from the freezer and fill another one third with a layer of the vanilla ice cream.
Step 10
Freeze for a further 30-40 minutes, then repeat the process, adding the remaining strawberry ice cream and filling to the top of the cup.
Step 11
When you are ready to serve, gently insert a lollipop stick into the centre of the ice cream. (There may not be enough room in your freezer to freeze these lollies with the sticks already inserted.)
Step 12
If you are using a paper cup, use scissors to snip the top rim and then gently peel the paper off, to reveal your stripy lollies. Then serve.
Step 13
For an extra twist you could crush up some digestive biscuits, mix with melted butter and light muscovado sugar to create a cheesecake base to the lollies or dip in your favourite ice cream toppings.
