  • 6 ice cream on a stick moulds
  • 2 kiwi fruits
  • 300 ml of coconut milk
  • 5 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons agave syrup

Preparation:
Stir the coconut milk, chia seed and agave syrup together in a bowl until smooth. Peel the kiwis, cut them into slices and lay them into the moulds. Pour in the coconut-chia mixture and freeze for at least 5 hours.

Three stages of creating chocolate bananas, fresh, dipped and coated

Chocolate bananas – the perfect summer treat.

Ingredients:

  • 6 wooden ice cream sticks
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 150g of cooking chocolate (choose dark or milk depending on taste)
  • Toppings to suit (i.e. chopped almonds, grated coconut, sprinkles)

Preparation:
Peel and halve the bananas and push a stalk or a chopstick in each half. Place the banana halves on a cutting board and freeze them for about 3 hours. Melt the chocolate (preferably in the water bath) and spread the toppings on grease-proof paper. Dip each of the bananas into the melted chocolate and quickly roll them into your chosen toppings. Allow to cool and enjoy or simply freeze them.

Tip: You can also use chocolate sticks in place of wooden ice cream sticks.

Frozen watermelon – instant refreshment in the sun.
