Strawberries and Cream Lollies

You know Summer is here when you are making homemade iced treats. I love it!. Over the weekend the boys and l had a go at making our own strawberries and cream lollies.

Did you ever make your own squash lollies with the moulds growing up? This was something l made all the time with my Nana in the summer holidays as a child. My Nana had the best moulds and when making them she would never dilute the squash, so when they were frozen you were in for a treat on the first suck with how strong they were.

We have recently been strawberry picking and we had a few strawberries that surprisingy had not been consumed and therefore we whisked and diced some, mixed with whipping cream for extra creaminess to make our strawberries and cream lollies. These treats are perfect on the hot days we are currently having here in the UK and to avoid wastage of any strawberries.

You can pour your mixture into moulds like we did and freeze overnight or into a freezable dish to have as an icecream. The recipe is easy to follow and these are simple to make.

Enjoy!.
