When we all scream for nice-cream

Do we need any other reason other than the fact it is summer to enjoy ice-cream? I think not.

So let’s create our own healthy home-made ice-cream sticks, using this simple base recipe matched with your favourite flavour combos.

Our all-time favourite combo is raspberry and coconut (as per the recipe below), but you can add just about any fruit or nut mix to create your own delicious delights. Simply use the base ingredients of coconut milk, coconut yoghurt and a little dash of raw honey and then add your diced or crushed fruit to the mix.

Raspberry & Cream Ice-cream

Recipe makes approx 4 ice blocks

Ingredients:

½ cup Coconut milk

½ cup Coconut yoghurt

1 tbsp Raw honey

¼ cup Fresh (or frozen) Raspberries (roughly diced)

¼ cup Coconut Flakes (or shredded coconut)

Method:

• Mix together all ingredients in a mixing bowl until well combined.

• Pour the mix into silicon (plastic free) ice-cream moulds and put them in the freezer for half an hour.

• Pull them out of the freezer after 30 minutes and put in the wooden sticks (for handles) and then put them back into the freezer and let them stay in there overnight.

• Be sure to take them out of the freezer 5 minutes before serving so you are able to get them out of the holders easily, and then it’s time to enjoy!

• Other flavour combinations we love are raspberry + basil, lemon + coconut, peaches + passionfruit, mango + macadamia.
