I love ice creams whatever the weather be it summer or winter and for me its always the right time to eat ice cream any time of the year. I enjoy making all types of frozen delights at home, especially no churn ice cream, frozen yoghurts, fruit sorbets, ice lollies and popsicles on sticks for my little nieces and nephews that visit often. You can use any combination of flavours to suit individual taste. My family favorite is this delicious keto peanut butter chocolate ice cream.
For the kids I do try and keep the ingredients healthy and one really easy way to create a healthy popsicle is to use yoghurts and fruits.
In this recipe I have used Yeo valley limited edition strawberry and vanilla yoghurts which are made from organic ingredients with very little sugar. In the Yeo vally range you can also get natural fromage frais and fruited fromage frais too. Both these products have no added refined sugars so they are great for kids.
I have also used ready to serve custard to make my popsicles, but you can make your own custard at home if you wish.
The beauty of these popsicles is that you can make them using any fruit and yoghurt flavour combination. Peaches work really well as do mangoes for these popsicles.
They also work well if you add pureed fruits as a base and then top the fruit with the yoghurt mixture which you can see I have done in the popsicles I have made in the shot glasses. To make these just add pureed fruit in the base of the mould and freeze for 30 minutes, after which top up with the yoghurt mixture and freeze for three hours.
- 4 tubs Little Yeo Yoghurts Strawberry and Vanilla
- 300 g Ready to serve custard
- 2 tablespoons Agave Nectar (as required to suit your sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon Strawberry essence
- 12 Fresh strawberries thinly sliced

With a blog called the strawberry fountain and just a slight obsession with strawberries these look like the most amazing pudding. They also look so easy to make and I will have to try them with my boys, thanks for sharing.
