Up in Scotland the weather has been pretty amazing (Yes highs of 19*C is considered HOT here lol) so we have been at the park pretty much all week. After the park AJ is always wanting something to cool him down, so I bought these Annabel Karmel ice lolly molds to play around with.
Needless to say AJ & I have have been living off these ice lollies all week, we have been experimenting in flavours and colours, so we thought we would share our favourite options with you!
1. Tropical Raspberry
ingredients: Tropical Juice & Raspberries
This has been my favourite so far, the tropical juice tastes incredible frozen, and mixed with the frozen raspberries it really gives it something different. AJ wasn't a huge fan of the frozen raspberries, but he will happily eat just a tropical juice one.
2. Strawberry & Yoghurt
ingredients: Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt & Fresh Strawberries.
These ones were made as the yoghurts were going off, and I was so glad we tried it! Frozen yoghurt is very creamy and melts well. The perfect alternative to ice cream (especially if you are on a diet) one yoghurt typically fills 2-3 lollies too, so not very many calories.
3. Fruity & Creamy
ingredients: leftover strawberry yoghurt, blueberries & mango coulis
in these ones we just put everything in. was feeling adventurous. But the Mango coulis really does taste amazing in it, really good for something a bit different.
4. Just Plain
ingredients: Any Flavour of Diluting Juice or Fresh juice.
This is my go to for after tea treat. Not only is is really quick and easy, it has zero added sugar and really inexpensive. He thinks he is getting a treat, and I know its just Apple & Blackcurrent juice & he won't be bouncing off the walls by bedtime :)
AJ's Favourite:
5. Haribo & Ribena
ingredients: Strawberry Ribena & Haribo Star Mix
AJ was over the moon with these. He would happily have one a day all summer. But even I must admit they do taste pretty incredible. The sweeties go slightly hard, but just extra chewy. He loves the eggs and hearts in the lollies. The ribena just tastes even better frozen, but Ribena is a treat in our house, so this one is extra special.
My Favourite:
6. Malibu & Pineapple
ingredients: Malibu (alcohol) and fresh pineapple juice
Yup, I put alcohol in my sons ice lolly moulds. #badmum. but on hot summer nights this just tastes incredible! I know this has made me want to try out different ones now, gin lime & lemonade ones next maybe?
These moulds are Annabel Karmel ones, you can find them here on Tesco.com for £3.
I picked these ones mainy due to their price. But also because they can be individually seperated, which is excellent for heating them up under the tap to be able to remove the ice lolly. highly recommend them.
Have you done these recently? which ones are your favourite? Are you tempted to try them? Let me know in the comments below!
I would LOVE it if you could follow me on Bloglovin' (I follow back too)
Yay for us Scots finally getting some decent weather, hoping it keeps up!
ReplyDeleteOh I definitely need to try a few of these out! I've been eyeing up some ice lolly moulds but I think next time I'm in Tesco I'll give these a try! The Ribena and Haribo ones sound fantastic and something my partner would like (the hearts and eggs are his favourite in the starmix!).
I think I'd likely try one with either diluting juice or low fat yoghurt, something nice and light to have as a wee treat!
If I end up making any of these I will definitely let you know how I got on with them!

Personally, I love plain orange juice ice lolly but I'd love to add some strawberries and blue berries! They seem wonderful! <3

I adore everything about this post. it's basically my life. me time = best time.xxx
ReplyDeleteI love that you call these ice lollies, we just call them icy poles here!
ReplyDeleteI always love ice creams with a yoghurt taste (have since I was a kid!) so I think I'd probably love the strawberry and yoghurt variation of these the most.
