Creamy Vegan Ice Lollies

How does no artificial sugar added and probiotic fresh fruit filled yoghurt lollies on a hot summer day sound? It’s delicious, and super easy to make!

Yoghurt ice lollies with fresh fruit

There are several yoghurts to use for this recipe, you can make your own vegan yoghurt, or you can use your favourite plain vegan yoghurt to layer these lollies. You can also use a dairy option!

To make your own yoghurt, you can use fresh coconut meat, scooped from the coconut shell and add some probiotics supplements to ferment it. This takes about 2-3 days.

However, if you don’t have much time, you can buy this brand of vegan yoghurt. Alpro is also another good option for soy based yoghurt that has higher protein than Cocobella. For those who can eat dairy, I would highly recommend this Greek yoghurt.

My non-dairy recipe for yoghurt ice lollies…

I simply make a ‘yoghurt’ out of coconut meat blended with the water or plant-based milk. I don’t add a lot of plant-based milk to keep the texture thick and creamy, but you can add more or less when you blend this, as you wish to make your desired consistency.

1 small coconut shell makes about 1/2 cup of vegan ‘yoghurt’ so you may need to get a few shells for this recipe. Additionally, you can limit the wastage by using the coconut water, instead of the plant-based milk.

What fruits go well with these yoghurt ice lollies?

The soft and sweeter fruits like:

• Mango
• Blueberries
• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Orange
• Watermelon

Fruits like apple, pear, pomegranate or lychee wont layer and blend well with the yoghurt, as they are quite hard. Additionally, when you’re eating it, it wont taste so good when you have an ice lolly thats difficult to bite into.

Storage

You can keep these ice lollies in the freezer for about 1 week before it starts to smell and go bad.

I use the 4 mould ice lolly tray, but if you’re using a larger one, you may want to create more flavours and mix this around a little bit.
