There’s nothing better than a refreshing frozen treat on a hot summer day! Here are three super easy recipes to help families cool down at your summer fair.
Frozen yoghurt bites
Makes 40
Ingredients
- 500g tub of yoghurt (dairy, soy, coconut…whatever you like!)
- 300g chopped fresh berries, such as strawberries or blueberries (optional)
- Chocolate chips (optional)
- Chopped nuts (optional)
Method
- You’ll need ice cube trays for this recipe. We highly recommend silicone trays as they’re much easier to work with.
- Spoon the yoghurt into the ice cube trays, leaving some space at the top for the fruit, chocolate and nuts (if using).
- Put them in the freezer. It’ll take around two hours to freeze, then you’re ready to pop each bite out and serve!
Banana ice cream
Makes 30
Ingredients
- 15 ripe bananas
- Whatever toppings you’d usually use for ice cream, such as sprinkles, dessert sauces, fruit, nuts and chocolate chips
Method
- Peel your ripe bananas, chop them up and place them in a container. Put them in the freezer for two hours or until frozen.
- Once frozen, put the bananas in a blender and blend until smooth. You might need a little milk to soften them up. You could also use a hand blender.
- And that’s it! A cheap and healthy alternative to soft serve ice cream.
Ice cream sandwiches
Makes 30
Ingredients
- 30 servings of banana ice cream (see recipe above)
- 700g light soft brown sugar
- 560g granulated sugar
- 625g butter
- 5 eggs
- 3 tbsp vanilla extract
- 750g chocolate chips
- 1,125g plain flour
- 5 tbsp baking powder
Method
- Prepare your banana ice cream (see recipe above).
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas 4. Line a couple of baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the two types of sugar and butter together.
- Add in the eggs, vanilla extract and chocolate chips and mix.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder. Mix well until it forms a dough.
- Separate the dough into 60 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten slightly on the lined baking trays.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely before serving two cookies with the banana ice cream like a sandwich filling in the middle.
