Creamy Strawberry Ice Lollies Recipe – with a Colada Twist!

These strawberry colada ice lollies are creamy and cool - just add rum for the adults
Creamy, zingy, strawberry colada – on a stick!

 

Early in the summer, during the strawberry season, we tend to pick a lot of strawberries. Mostly because English strawberries have an awesome flavour in the summer – nothing like the imported varieties we eat year round. My youngest  actually commented over breakfast one morning that one particular specimen was the best strawberry he’d ever tasted! Inevitably though, we get a bit carried away in our quest for ever more perfect strawberries, and come home from the fruit farm laden with more fruit than we could ever eat in the time it stays fresh. Which is where the freezer comes in. We’ve made strawberry mojito sorbetand created a frozen strawberry mocktail with berries slightly too soft to enjoy on their own. But we still had some left over, and no patience for jam, so strawberry ice lollies were next on the list.

These frozen treats are delicious, and make a much healthier strawberry dessert for kids than all the commercial ice lollies, due to the addition of puréed fruit. We experimented with the quantities of sugar, and added some cream for a fuller taste (if you need a lower fat version try this BBC Good Food recipe). If you wanted to add a little rum for the adults that would work, for an authentic strawberry colada flavour – just make sure you know which is which before you serve them!
