They make the perfect base for ice-cream, don’t have an overpowering taste and makes creamy, rich ice cream thanks to its high pectin content.
Also, for all you parents who are doing a great job with allergies this recipe can be vegan, gluten-free, dairy-allergic, and has no added sugar diet.
- Peel, chop and freeze the banana in a freezer bag for at least 2 hours
- Blitz the bananas, strawberries and other optional ingredients you may have chosen in the food processor until smooth.
- Pour into ice lolly moulds and set for 1 - 2 hours in the freezer.
- When frozen - melt the candy melts in the microwave and dip the ice lolly in and sprinkle on some freeze-dried raspberries.
- For soft serve - just scoop out of food processor and enjoy. For a scoopable ice-cream pop back in the freezer bag in the freezer for about an hour or two.
