Fruit Ice Blocks


Mmm... these Fruit Ice Blocks look divine ♥ Perfect for a summer's day.

To make the cone moulds, tear off 8 pieces of baking paper (each 15cm wide).  Fold into cone shapes, making sure the pointed ends are closed, to prevent leakage.  Secure with staples in a few places.  Sit cones in glasses for support.

The Fruit Pops are made by blending (in a food processor or blender) the diced flesh of the fruit of your choice with yoghurt to make a thick smooth mixture.  Each combination makes 2-3 cones.

Blend a ½ cup of yoghurt with (from left):
  • 2 peeled, chopped bananas and 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 punnet of rinsed and hulled strawberries and ½ cup of guava juice
  • 1 peeled and diced kiwi fruit and the flesh of a ¼ piece of honeydew melon
Pour the mixture into the cones.  Freeze until semi frozen, push a paddle pop stick into pops and freeze overnight.

Makes 6-9.
